Is an 18th-century farmhouse in Wales a key to a fortune?

Best on the Box choice for Easter Sunday…

What would you do if, from out of nowhere, you inherited a property that you didn’t know existed?

In this new series, Jean Johansson follows the hunt to trace the rightful inheritors to properties that have been left by a distant relative who didn’t leave a will – and surprise them with their unexpected windfall.

With millions of properties waiting to be reclaimed, the series follows the inheritors as they see their new property for the first time, discover how much their inheritance is worth, meet relatives who they never knew existed… and decide whether to keep the home in the family or sell their key to a fortune.

In this episode, the second of the series, siblings Pam and Lawrence from Durham are surprised to discover that they’re the rightful inheritors of a beautiful 18th-century farmhouse in Wales.

They take their first steps inside their new inheritance, discover its surprising value and learn more about a distant relative whom they never met. After getting advice from property expert Kunle Barker and once they’re reunited with all family members, Pam and Lawrence have a big decision to make – do they keep it in the family or sell it?
