Thirty-somethings Helen and Grant live in the leafy suburbs of Forest Hill, South East London. This alternative couple work in the creative side of advertising and are keen to uproot themselves from their tranquil pastures and buy their first property together in the more trendy, post-industrial corners of North East London. But that's not all... Because Kirstie and Phil like a challenge, they also need to find a new home in Kent for Grant’s parents. Ray and Connie are moving a whopping 6,000 miles from Durban, South Africa, to be reunited with their family - who have been living apart for 10 years. Grant and Helen want to share in this idyllic Kent lifestyle too, as well as getting a foothold on a fast paced life in London, so they’re stumping up a good chunk of the cash for the Kent home to share with mum and dad at the weekend.
