Real Cost of Divorce and Beat the Estate Agents, The

Synopsis
Two programmes from the popular BBC 2 series. In 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. In BEAT THE ESTATE AGENTS 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.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
