BBC One - Britain's Empty Homes, Series 2, Katy and Lee

Katie and Lee Priday plan to develop a property in Brighton into an open-plan style.

Property series. Experienced house renovator Jules Hudson introduces a couple seeking to downsize and renovate a flat in Brighton to locals who have already made a similar move.

Katie and Lee Priday are dreaming of relocating and downsizing to a two-bedroom flat in Brighton on the south coast. They hope to take on an empty property and remodel it into an open plan style to get the most out of every square inch their 300,000 pound budget will allow.

Ideally, they want a two or three bed flat that's within walking distance to the sea. But Brighton is a pricey place so they're going to have to draw on every ounce of their creative and practical skills to get the most out of their budget. 

They are joined by Jules Hudson who highlights the pros and cons and sends them to view an empty maisonette in Hove, ripe for improvement. Jules also introduces Katie and Lee to other Brighton and Hove homeowners who've already taken the plunge - to share the highs and lows of their experiences first hand.
