Finances prove to be this episode particular pitfall causing delays in the build as the pair tackle the unsympathetic mortgage market.
But after the prolonged struggle, they have a mortgage agreed and start the process of building their bespoke home.
This time, the episode shows the couple opting to have their home built off-site and in a factory before being delivered to the site and craned into place.
Due to the financial delays, the company originally picked to build the home but can no longer so the documentary follows the turbulent resolution.
The final episode will also take a look back at all ten homes that have been built on the Bicester site, which will eventually house up to 1,900 homes.
It will be the biggest self-build development in the country.
