RTE's Cheap European Homes: Retired prison officer tours three beautiful Spanish homes

A brand new season of Cheap European Homes is back

RTE's Cheap European Homes is back with a brand new season, and the first episode aired on Sunday March 30.

Maggie Molloy and Kevin McGahern are on a mission to help Irish people find their perfect home 'at the best value' across Europe.

The first episode sees the duo head to Spain where they are on the hunt to find a property with the best value for money.

Michelle O' Connor, a retired prison officer with a love for travel, is featured in the episode as her and her also retired husband are on the hunt for a home in the sun.

With a budget of €200,000 and a desire for space for a camping site, Michelle is taken on a tour of three beautiful homes to see what option was best for her.

The home she chose was a fixer-upper on the Spanish market for €160,000 as well as renovations costs of €50,000.
