Interview with Amanda Lamb

Looking back and forward

Having finally bought her own overseas haven in the south if Italy, I wondered whether Amanda has looked back on any of the properties she saw years ago and wished she had bought earlier. “To be honest, since we started making the programme there have only been about ten properties that I have fallen in love with, but I’m happy to have waited and got a place that really is exactly what I was looking for.”

When it comes to the place Amanda would buy if money was no object, there is barely a beat of hesitation. “Western Australia, in a place called Margaret River. It is one of my favourite places in the world, and we are going to be going there to record one of the shows for the new series, so I can’t wait.”

As for the guests on the show, hopefully none of them in the new series will be like one couple Amanda met some years ago. “Their main concern was that they wanted somewhere with a big garden, and everywhere we showed them was too small. When I was convinced that we had found a property with enough land, they said they wanted at least an acre. In the end, the property they bought was an apartment with no land whatsoever, and only a postage-stamp of a balcony!”
