A British family who left the UK for Bulgaria after realising they would never be able to buy a home say they saved £300,000 by snapping up a farm for just £7,000.

Lewis Vye and his wife, Jordan, both 31, left their two-bed rental house in Bournemouth, Dorset, and moved 1,788 miles to Haskovo Province, Bulgaria, in June 2022 - with their two children, Leo, 11, and Fae, two.

Jordan came up with the idea to emigrate after speaking to a friend of a friend who told her she had bought a house in the country for just £3,000.
