Video The Money Programme: The Real Cost of Divorce and Beat the Estate Agents - XB007/DVD02
XB007/DVD02 This DVD contains two programmes from the popular BBC 2 series

The Real Cost of Divorce
The Money Programme investigates the full cost of splitting up in Britain today. Recent cases have forced the stars and super-rich to pay multi-million pound divorce settlements to their ex's. And what the rich and famous do in the courts is setting precedents that the rest of the population has to follow. With almost half of all marriages failing, Money Programme reporter Max Flint looks at the big bills ahead as he tots up the real cost of divorce.

Beat the Estate Agents
Estate agents are so unpopular that more and more home-owners want to sell privately and save on the £2.5 billion a year we spend on their fees. They're also facing competition from cut-price deals at the local supermarket. The Money Programme investigates the backlash against one of Britain's least trusted professions. Reporter Max Flint follows the home sellers trying to beat the agent and save thousands in the process.
