A couple from Hull, Ben Pearson, 40, and Nathan Pearson, 32, buy a farmhouse in the French area of Sainte Segros as part of a retirement project. They find the property, which sits on about two hectares of land, after a long-held ambition to move to France. The couple pay £69,000 for the site, according to the report. After the purchase, they begin a renovation with a stated budget of £100,000. However, they run over their planned renovation spend after finishing only three rooms. The article describes the couple’s plans and the unexpected costs that follow as they work on the abandoned farmhouse, though it does not provide further detail on the reasons for the budget increase or any additional financial figures beyond the original renovation budget.
