Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer catch up with a couple in Edinburgh, and one in Derbyshire, almost 20 years after their search with the dream duo, which means they've had plenty of time for life to move on in wonderful ways. Kirstie and Phil first searched with Steph and Tana in Edinburgh in 2020, and although one house really stood out for them, its proximity to Edinburgh Airport's flightpath put them off. After the search they took Kirstie and Phil's advice on board and broadened their search, and four years on the pair find them in a house where they weren't afraid to get stuck in themselves. Wendy and Simon asked for Kirstie and Phil's help in Derbyshire way back in 2007, when they needed a house that could also accommodate their businesses - Wendy's as a fashion designer and Simon's as a photographer. They had an offer accepted, which ultimately fell through, but five years later they were in a three-bed cottage in Darley Abbey. They decided to keep work and home separate, so were renting a business unit nearby and work was flourishing. Fast forward another 12 years and it's all change again - a new house, two children and three photographic studios!

A catch-up with two couples who were looking for homes in east and south London respectively. Professional musicians Molly and Sam were looking for a two or three-bedroom home to grow into as a family but the properties they preferred were selling quicker than Kirstie could show them - or already had offers on the table for £50,000 over asking price. Meanwhile, Rachel and Alan were fed up with paying a whopping £2,000 a month in rent and wanted somewhere they could put their stamp on. Their heads were turned by some striking options, but eventually a stunning three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Crystal Palace won their hearts.

Phil Spencer revisits Hayley and James, who he helped search for a home around Newbury in Wiltshire back in 2019, to find out how they have got on since their search, when they struggled to decide between all the properties he had lined up. There's also a catch-up with Camilla and Liam, who back in 2022 wanted to get out of rented accommodation and into their own home near Solihull in the West Midlands. It was a search that meant certain compromise, but now, four years later - and having got married and started a family - how are the couple finding their new life?

A catch-up with Max, who first featured on the show in 2021, when he was moving from Birmingham to Leeds to be closer to his partner Dan. Max wanted a big home with lots of potential - and in just the right location. The programme also revisits Cat and Ed, a couple who 15 years ago wanted to secure a two-bedroom west London home for less than £300,000 - a challenge for Kirstie Allsopp even back then. How have both been getting on since the cameras last stopped rolling?
