A UK Couple who couldn't buy a house in their home country with their savings have gone on to buy a village in .

Appearing on Channel 4’s Help! We Bought a Village, Paul Mappley and his partner Yip Ward said they have never owned even a studio flat in the UK but are now planning to create a luxury holiday destination in the historic hamlet of La Busliere, in Normandy, after buying it for €14,000 (about £11,775).

The village is made up of six cottages, two barns and a paddock, plus a two-storey workshop, cider press and communal bread oven. Although the cottage has no electricity supply yet.

The couple used to live in a caravan in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, when a friend offered them the chance to buy it in 2019.

Yip said to The Sun: ‘In the area we were living before 2021 it was about £300,000 to buy a tiny place to live, and that was just never on the table for us.

‘We had always rented and we were living in a – really lovely – static mobile caravan belonging to our friend.

‘But when they looked to sell it, we began to worry.

‘So it was incredibly exciting when we heard from a friend about Le Busliere. We began to think: ‘This could really happen for us.”’

Paul itted it has been ‘stressful at times’, adding they are short of money, but are ‘so grateful to be here’.

‘It was like a squat when we moved in, but we’re quite comfortable now,’ he said.

patlex people AKA Patrick Enyum

A very good buy and a huge steal.

I wished I had such an opportunity..

Nonsense in this life we need to make sure we are ready for the consequences of our decisions..this couple left City to live in a mud house in the village of another country..lesson sin can take u to places of influence, power and pleasures but if u don't abandon it with time it's will slam u to the mud ...even wild animals can never allow themselves to be attracted to same gender of their kind because it's unnatural but a human being who is supposed to be more intelligent than animals are celebrating same sex marriages..humanity is sliding into great level of madness only God through our savoir jesus christ can saved this lost world

Nonsense and ingredients

Senior man them colleague

So make we Dance Buga abi wetin

Wait...there is a catch somewhere....

Something tells me that they bought the village with the understanding that they are liable for any repairs to be done in the village...which means at the end, they could spend more on renovations...especially since they want to turn it into a hotel...meaning standars, standards!,,.......than they did originally buying it.

There are many villages in Italy for example, that cost one euro....and once you buy the place, you are stuck with the renovation costs.

I pity the copule. They should have kept saving for the studio flat...or house in the UK. At least, bran new ouse....better than renovating some shack that was built before their grandparents were even thought about.....

Modified

Eh eh...one of them has itted 'it can be stressful at times'. Money issues.....

Thunder scatter their yansh

UK the country of stingy people.....

If person stingy before he come relocate to UK him stinginess go skyrocket go raise to power 100....


That country dere Tax alone na die....

Evil couples

GBAna people

If people read Roman and Greek culture, you would find out that homosexuality was part of their everyday life.

Also so many religious people in Nigeria engage in the act in secrecy.

As a human that can't judge.

I am happy for them. At least they will make more money from tourist.

Ok, let's see how they'll multiply and fill the village. Abi how many children can they adopt.
