Goodbye House is a brand new six part series debuting on RTÉ One this September 24th and features people who have made the decision to downsize from their family home with a twist.  Instead of choosing potential new properties themselves, they will leave it in the hands of their nearest and dearest, their family and friends, to choose the potential properties for them.   

The series features ‘downsizers’ from all walks of life and from all over Ireland, who are looking for new beginnings.  In each episode, they will visit three potential properties that their closest friends or family have chosen for them to start their new chapter.   But what will the reactions be when the ‘downsizer’ can only pick one property which they feel is right for them…

Episode Íta Coonan is 78 ½ years old and lives in Cobh, Co Cork.  Íta absolutely adores her view from her home on top of the hill.  Unfortunately Íta lost her beloved husband Stephen two years ago.   Heartbroken over the loss of her husband, Íta now feels it’s the right time to downsize into the centre of town to a smaller property.

Íta has pulled in her best friends – Michael, Val and Berna to help her choose the right property.  With a budget of €350,000 – she is looking to stay in Cobh and top of her wish list is a house with stairs!

Val her close friend and chiropodist wants to choose the perfect house for Íta.  She brings her to a newly renovated property in the centre of Cobh.  Íta absolutely loves the property but does it just have too many stairs as a three storey home?

Berna is adamant that a bungalow is the way to go for Íta’s future.  However Íta feels very strongly about not moving to a bungalow but will Berna convince her otherwise?

Michael brings Íta to house that has a spectacular seaview which  – but will the price tag be within her budget? 

Íta has a decision to make – but which one will she choose?

Goodbye House continues Tuesday, 8th October on RTÉ One at 8.30pm
