Programme 3: Jan 30

FLORIDA: PJ AND SANDRA
So far PJ and Sandra's search in has been in the more affordable areas north of Fort Myers, but nothing has really excited them. This week they're pushing the budget a little and heading south to view two properties in a development called Coconut Shores, located in Bonita Springs halfway between Fort Myers and Naples.

Naples is town with a lot more energy than Fort Myers, but with house prices to match. Right besdie a beautiful beach, and with numerous bars and restaurants, it feels younger than Fort Myers and might be more appealing to PJ and Sandra, but budget will be an issue. Their first visit at Coconut Shores is to the model villa.

In Florida, a model is similar to our showhouses at home, except that in most cases, it's nothing like the finished property that you're viewing. Here, they've put the very best - or most expensive - of everything into the house. The pool alone costs $30,000. The result is beautiful, irresistible and, in this case, an extra $100,000.

The next property they look at is a Coach House and the basic asking price is only slightly outside their budget. They look at a furnished and unfurnished version of the same place. At the end of the day it seems that Fort Myers is not the right location for PJ and Sandra.

And perhaps they need to look in other parts of Florida to find something they'll be happy with.
