Whoo! 38 00:01:48,683 --> 00:01:51,378 Near the town of Malton in North Yorkshire 39 00:01:51,403 --> 00:01:53,578 is stunning Langton Hall, 40 00:01:53,603 --> 00:01:57,218 home to multi-millionaire property developer William. 41 00:01:57,243 --> 00:02:00,058 I feel absolutely blessed to live here, to be honest. 42 00:02:00,083 --> 00:02:03,538 It's something that when I was born and raised in Bridlington, 43 00:02:03,563 --> 00:02:06,298 I would have never even imagined for a million years 44 00:02:06,323 --> 00:02:08,578 that I would end up looking back at that view and thinking, 45 00:02:08,603 --> 00:02:10,578 "That's my house." 46 00:02:10,603 --> 00:02:13,858 As well as acres of manicured grounds, 47 00:02:13,883 --> 00:02:16,778 there are sports courts and a huge heated swimming pool - 48 00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:19,618 perfect for exercise-mad Will. 49 00:02:19,643 --> 00:02:21,978 It feels like one of the ultimate luxuries, really, 50 00:02:22,003 --> 00:02:26,218 to have a swimming pool outdoors in Yorkshire with that view. 51 00:02:26,243 --> 00:02:29,578 Will's completely renovated the house, 52 00:02:29,603 --> 00:02:32,458 which was derelict when he bought it. 53 00:02:32,483 --> 00:02:36,138 Inside, there are 12 lavish bedrooms 54 00:02:36,163 --> 00:02:37,858 and nine bathrooms. 55 00:02:37,883 --> 00:02:41,098 Downstairs, there's a huge kitchen, 56 00:02:41,123 --> 00:02:44,578 five magnificent reception rooms and a stately dining room. 57 00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:49,218 Will has several staff he can call on, 58 00:02:49,243 --> 00:02:53,418 including housekeeper Debbie and private chef Dan. 59 00:02:53,443 --> 00:02:54,458 He knows what he wants, 60 00:02:54,483 --> 00:02:56,938 so it's always a pleasure to come and cook for William. 61 00:02:56,963 --> 00:02:59,858 Will has built an empire of over 100 homes. 62 00:02:59,883 --> 00:03:04,298 He's self-made and fought his way to the top. 63 00:03:04,323 --> 00:03:06,098 When I was about six or seven, 64 00:03:06,123 --> 00:03:08,298 I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia. 65 00:03:08,323 --> 00:03:12,578 My reading and writing was within the bottom 2% of the country. 66 00:03:12,603 --> 00:03:14,898 I have always felt like I had something to prove. 67 00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:19,938 Will works 24/7 on his new-build projects, 68 00:03:19,963 --> 00:03:21,778 and he's keen to prove 69 00:03:21,803 --> 00:03:26,018 he's not a stereotypical developer and landlord. 70 00:03:26,043 --> 00:03:27,778 I'm not particularly driven by money. 71 00:03:27,803 --> 00:03:32,298 I'm driven by my desire to build the best possible houses. 72 00:03:32,323 --> 00:03:36,258 Because in the end, a good life starts at home. 73 00:03:37,963 --> 00:03:39,618 William will be going on the swap 74 00:03:39,643 --> 00:03:43,258 with his long-time friend, estate agent Ross. 75 00:03:43,283 --> 00:03:45,698 I don't know if we've really had a disagreement, 76 00:03:45,723 --> 00:03:47,018 really, in 40 years. 77 00:03:47,043 --> 00:03:49,938 I'd probably say Will is a little bit more hot-headed than I am. 78 00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:52,898 I'm the bull in a china shop, and... 79 00:03:52,923 --> 00:03:55,258 I'm the brains. 80 00:03:55,283 --> 00:03:58,378 He's very passionate about offering a good service to his tenants, 81 00:03:58,403 --> 00:04:00,098 to people that are buying his property. 82 00:04:01,563 --> 00:04:04,378 An overall just good hard-worker. 83 00:04:04,403 --> 00:04:05,778 Thanks, Ross. 84 00:04:07,123 --> 00:04:10,498 The property tycoon is still keen to learn, 85 00:04:10,523 --> 00:04:12,338 and changing places for a week 86 00:04:12,363 --> 00:04:14,778 is the opportunity he's been looking for. 87 00:04:14,803 --> 00:04:17,138 I hope that perhaps doing the swap 88 00:04:17,163 --> 00:04:19,338 will give me a real insight 89 00:04:19,363 --> 00:04:22,818 into the things that some people are going through. 90 00:04:26,163 --> 00:04:28,618 In Wakefield, for many years, 91 00:04:28,643 --> 00:04:32,458 Laura's struggled to work due to having endometriosis, 92 00:04:32,483 --> 00:04:34,698 a painful medical condition 93 00:04:34,723 --> 00:04:37,378 affecting more than a-million-and-a-half women 94 00:04:37,403 --> 00:04:39,578 in the UK. 95 00:04:39,603 --> 00:04:43,098 Unfortunately, my health deteriorated, 96 00:04:43,123 --> 00:04:46,778 and I was in a lot of physical pain on a daily basis. 97 00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:50,778 Partner Rob knows how difficult life has been. 98 00:04:52,283 --> 00:04:55,178 Laura's had quite a few things going on in her life, 99 00:04:55,203 --> 00:04:57,178 a lot of adversity to overcome. 100 00:04:57,203 --> 00:04:59,498 That takes a lot of courage, really does. 101 00:04:59,523 --> 00:05:02,298 But last year, as her health improved, 102 00:05:02,323 --> 00:05:06,618 she landed a perfect job with a local estate agency. 103 00:05:06,643 --> 00:05:09,458 Then just as things were looking up, 104 00:05:09,483 --> 00:05:13,378 the property market slumped, and Laura was made redundant. 105 00:05:13,403 --> 00:05:17,978 She's now on benefits and £600 in rent arrears. 106 00:05:18,003 --> 00:05:20,018 After everything has gone out, 107 00:05:20,043 --> 00:05:24,298 I have about £50 to £65 a week left over. 108 00:05:24,323 --> 00:05:26,858 Towards the end of the month, I'm really struggling, 109 00:05:26,883 --> 00:05:28,858 and then it's a case of borrowing money, 110 00:05:28,883 --> 00:05:34,258 or take my mobile phone or laptop to a pawnshop. 111 00:05:34,283 --> 00:05:38,338 But paying that back means that then knocks on into the next month, 112 00:05:38,363 --> 00:05:40,738 something that's really difficult to get out of. 113 00:05:40,763 --> 00:05:44,738 Laura wants to build her career as an estate agent, 114 00:05:44,763 --> 00:05:46,538 but there's one big hurdle. 115 00:05:46,563 --> 00:05:48,738 I've never done my driving lessons. 116 00:05:48,763 --> 00:05:52,098 It's always been a financial reason behind that. 117 00:05:52,123 --> 00:05:55,018 If I apply for property jobs and don't have a driving licence, 118 00:05:55,043 --> 00:05:56,498 they will often turn me down. 119 00:05:56,523 --> 00:06:00,138 But Laura isn't giving up on her dream. 120 00:06:00,163 --> 00:06:01,538 I turned 40 a few months ago. 121 00:06:01,563 --> 00:06:03,698 It's a fresh start, 122 00:06:03,723 --> 00:06:05,138 and I really do want to push forward 123 00:06:05,163 --> 00:06:07,618 and get the career that I've been waiting for. 124 00:06:08,763 --> 00:06:12,818 Rob is hoping the swap will be life-changing for Laura. 125 00:06:12,843 --> 00:06:17,098 I want to see her say, "Wow, so this is what the other side do." 126 00:06:17,123 --> 00:06:18,818 To see her react to that opportunity, 127 00:06:18,843 --> 00:06:20,138 I think it's just gonna be cool. 128 00:06:20,163 --> 00:06:21,938 That's what I'm looking forward to the most. 129 00:06:21,963 --> 00:06:26,178 I'm really excited to find out how other people 130 00:06:26,203 --> 00:06:30,738 have created their success, and what they've had to do to get there. 131 00:06:32,803 --> 00:06:34,538 The same age as Laura, 132 00:06:34,563 --> 00:06:37,338 William is also taking stock of his life. 133 00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:38,858 I'm a workaholic. 134 00:06:38,883 --> 00:06:42,098 During the course of my career, I've made sacrifices, 135 00:06:42,123 --> 00:06:45,378 and I'm doing a little bit of catching up with that now in my 40s. 136 00:06:45,403 --> 00:06:49,058 And I hope that perhaps doing the swap for the next week 137 00:06:49,083 --> 00:06:51,778 will teach me a little bit more about relaxing 138 00:06:51,803 --> 00:06:54,938 and disconnecting with work when I need to. 139 00:06:57,003 --> 00:07:00,858 It's day one, and anticipation is building. 140 00:07:00,883 --> 00:07:04,778 Invariably, any time that you are entering the unknown, 141 00:07:04,803 --> 00:07:06,538 you... you are nervous. 142 00:07:06,563 --> 00:07:11,418 I don't think I'WLl need this this week, so that can go back away. 143 00:07:11,443 --> 00:07:13,658 That was my tails from Royal Ascot. 144 00:07:13,683 --> 00:07:16,258 So it will be a little bit of a change... 145 00:07:16,283 --> 00:07:19,178 from the Royal Enclosure to the house swap. 146 00:07:19,203 --> 00:07:21,698 It is stressful not knowing what you're doing. 147 00:07:21,723 --> 00:07:25,018 Could be a city centre or in the countryside somewhere. 148 00:07:25,043 --> 00:07:26,138 You've no idea. 149 00:07:28,483 --> 00:07:29,898 See you soon, house. 150 00:07:29,923 --> 00:07:33,538 It's only about an hour's drive between their two homes, 151 00:07:33,563 --> 00:07:36,258 but financially, they're worlds apart. 152 00:07:36,283 --> 00:07:38,458 A few little local pubs. Hoping the budget will stretch 153 00:07:38,483 --> 00:07:40,538 to a pint on a Friday night. 154 00:07:40,563 --> 00:07:45,458 It'll be really amazing to go and sort of see how other people live. 155 00:07:45,483 --> 00:07:47,298 This one here, just on the left-hand side. 156 00:07:47,323 --> 00:07:49,578 You're kidding me. 157 00:07:50,683 --> 00:07:54,338 First impressions are, erm... not what I expected at all. 158 00:07:54,363 --> 00:07:56,778 This is like a stately home! 159 00:07:56,803 --> 00:07:59,338 It's better than Buckingham Palace. 160 00:07:59,363 --> 00:08:01,778 It looks really well looked after. 161 00:08:01,803 --> 00:08:03,538 We're like King and Queen of the village. 162 00:08:03,563 --> 00:08:05,058 Look at the view! 163 00:08:05,083 --> 00:08:06,858 Oh, my God! 164 00:08:06,883 --> 00:08:08,618 WILL: There's a "just let" sign there. 165 00:08:08,643 --> 00:08:10,458 That would make me think that it is a rental. 166 00:08:12,763 --> 00:08:15,418 Oh, my word.
