PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'We lived in a small flat, also in London,' says Katy.

Breathing new life into an old property can certainly be satisfying, particularly if it turns a dilapidated house into a stylish family home.

A renovation project was ideal as I don't like the idea of paying for someone else's taste,' says Katy.
