A look at what happens when the purchase of a dream holiday home leads to disaster. Nearly a million Brits now own a property overseas, but unfamiliar laws and language barriers can lead to some very problematic and expensive issues after the sale. Featuring a couple who were devastated to watch their luxury villa pulled down in front of their eyes, a couple evicted from their restored chateau by someone claiming to own it, and families caught up in some of the worst forest fires in European history.

I forgot it was on and only caught the forest fires in Greece and I think Majorca. In the former the house had survived but the latter one was completely ruined. It makes one a little wary perhaps of buying a place in a forrested area like much of Abruzzo where in the last two really hot summers their have been quite a few severe forest fires.
I think there are more programmes to follow and they were inviting people to contact them by e-mail to tell their story.
