A home hunter said the reason for moving away from England was to make happy memories after her mother died of cancer.
Mother and daughter team Michelle and Charlotte from Stevenage were looking for Michelle’s dream holiday home in Lanzarote. As a family of four, they had been coming to the island for over 10 years and particularly felt at home in the seaside town of Playa Blanca. For their budget of £110,000, Ben Hillman blew them away entirely.
Ben asked Michelle what made her want to venture so far away from home which led to a particularly emotional backstory. She said: "My mum sadly passed away from cancer this year and I wanted to buy somewhere friends and family can come that were there to support me when my mum had treatment."

Their property expert promised he would do his best and he managed to do so as every home they saw was exactly what they were looking for. In specific, a two-bed apartment with mountain views was described as "literally perfect." Michelle even admitted to feeling light-headed as the property was exactly what she and her husband have always dreamt of.
As Ben asked what her mother would think of the property, Michelle said: "She would be so happy I'm getting my dream.
"I'm just sad she'll never be able to see it but every time I come here she'll be looking down. I can't see how you're going to beat this one. I am not very often lost for words, but I kind of am lost for words at the moment."
Michelle got emotional after signing a deal on the property for £120,000 and said: "After a hard couple of years this has been amazing."
