Jasmine Harman finds properties in Cartagena, Spain for Richard and Jackie from Southampton.

The couple is torn between moving to Devon or Spain, with Richard wanting to stay close to family in Devon while Jackie dream of a lifestyle change in Spain.

With a budget of £250,000, it is Spain that offers the best value for this kind of cash.

The first property on view in Spain was in the conservation area of Campillo de Adentro. It is an extended country house set in two acres of land with amazing mountain views. The property comes with a small pool, two bed rooms, a summer kitchen and a conservatory.

The asking price at the time of viewing was £228,000.

Next on view was a property in the old town of Totana, which is surrounded by prime hiking land. The detached villa has three bedrooms, ½ an acre of land and a pool, and has a BBQ and a choice of four different outside eating areas.

The asking price at the time of viewing was £208,000.

Finally, the couple was shown a house in the beautiful village of La Penilla. It is a traditional rustic home set in 1.3 acres with a pool and olive grove. Inside there are three bedrooms and a separate annex with an additional bedroom.

The asking price at the time of viewing was £252,000.
