Weymouth vs Dordogne - Episode 3 on 20th November 2019 - A Place in the Sun

Rod and Margaret are selling up in Croydon to escape the London rat race and are looking to split the proceeds to buy a house in Dorset near the seaside town of Weymouth, and a holiday home in the Dordogne in South West France. In both locations, they’d love a property with a large garden and fantastic views, with enough space for their six grandchildren to come to visit. Taking on this tough double challenge, are Laura Hamilton with a UK budget of £340,000 and Jasmine Harman, who has £125,000 to spend in France. They each have three terrific options to show the couple, but will any of them measure up?
