Episode 3: Enlarging on a Budget

BBC One - Plan It, Build It, Enlarging on a Budget

Two families try to get the most out of their budgets for their extensions.

Property series. Two families, the Goodes and the Samsons, try their best to extend their homes whilst keeping costs down and the work to a tight budget.

This show is all about enlarging on a budget. Times are tough and money is tight but families up and down the land desperately need to increase their living space. So is it possible to extend without spending a fortune?

Both families in today's show prove that it can be done. The Goodes have a modern two-bedroomed home and have budgeted £15k to extend it. Can £15k buy a whole extra bedroom and the equivalent space downstairs?  The answer is a resounding yes! The results are impressive.

Leon and Lindsey Samson have taken a huge risk and started work on their home before planning permission has been granted. They simply cannot afford to waste time waiting. It is a nerve-wracking process but, just like the Goodes, the Samsons come through smiling.
