Ireland & St Albans

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help the Rawson family from Harrow near London find a home in the Republic of Ireland for £170,000. Eamonn Rawson wants to live close to his father in Co Wicklow, but any new property must get the seal of approval from his wife Lynn, who is quitting her job to become a full-time mother. Stunning Irish farmhouses are discovered, but the couple are also keen to keep a foothold in the UK housing market and consider purchasing a buy-to-let in St Albans for £250,000
