Just love the chemistry between Phil and Kirsty. Never get tired of them taking a crack at each other.

[@carolinewiggins2803]

Best part of the programme! 😃

[@Gimo76]

They make great working couple. It must be fun to be good friends ❤😮like they are.

[@jinathomas-edwards1688]

Agreed.

[@Longcloud]

Definitely a great combination 😍

[@toodlesoops7761]

That mom is the most wonderful "mum" I've ever seen - four guys and she's still smiling - she deserved her "forever" beautiful home more than most!!!!!

[@earlydawn8183]

@toodlesoops7761. Absolutely agree, lovely lady, great fun with her boys. One of the best episodes. Other couple were lovely too, hope they found a place.

[@jamuhurihouse4403]

But those" 4 guys" are her family? + She is a stay-at-home, should she get a medal for being a mother.

[@carolinejohnson22]

Also, they don't really need a table in the kitchen with a proper dining room 😊

The cats in this episode are just ❤

[@anneroy4560]

They appear to show cats in every show they are in ... very comforting.

10 years ago, I watched it when it first came out, but had forgotten the families. Still enjoyed a second time. Nice families and always nice Phil and Kirsty x

[@lindapaupst7042]

I am obsessed with Kirsty & Phil and this series. I love their smart, sensitive and playful personalities. But as an Ontario Canada mom of five who has moved homes many times, and to several different areas, I never cease to be amazed by the British reluctance to move out of a familiar location. Unless it is a slum, each area has its own charm. Curb appeal, safety and room for a family to spread their wings is essential. Having said that, curb appeal can easily be improved with painting the front door and trim, and adding beautiful planters to create a welcome look. Re distance: we have friends and relatives near and far. Distance does not limit our relationship - so what if we have to drive 25 minutes or even an hour or 2 for a weekend visit. It is all part of the adventure. And the reluctance to even consider bungalows boggles the mind. Here they are the most expensive and sought after option. Our huge spaces and distance between cities, and our lack of centuries old homes, obviously factors into our outlook. I get frustrated when I see clients dismiss beautiful options. Anyway, I am hooked, and running out of episodes that I haven't already seen. I have been doing a lot of re-watching, lol!

[@lysem4392]

I am so, so glad the couple with three children bought the house after their own heart rather than the more practical one. Practical is great, but you want to live somewhere that makes your heart sing every time you enter it. I am so much with Tom about not having your couch in your kitchen, or as I define it not having your stove and sink in the middle of your living room. I like separate rooms, thank you very much. It must have gone against every fibre of Kirstie's soul, she who is The Great Demolisher, to deal with this requirement, but she kept her mouth zipped about it like a trooper. Unlike the prospective buyers, I did like the first two properties she showed; but then again I don't know Bristol and its housing stock, so I can't know what the buyers expected.

[@lwaliz]

So happy for the nice couple with the children to get that beautiful house!

[@lintlamb8397]

Both couples featured were very sweet. I especially like the Mom-of-three's laugh. It was contagious. Great vid. I'm so happy for the success of the family of three. Hope the young couple find something soon, too.

[@nancyn347]

They bought the right house! Beautiful property. Thanks for the upload.

[@pippapowling2306]

I love Phil and Kirstie's approach to home hunting and to this long-time exceptional program. I really enjoy seeing the UK areas - as an ex-Pat, long travelled in UK, it makes me nostalgic and connected. Thank you!

[@Odo55]

Love it when Phil reaches for his phone, pulling it out of his trouser pocket, then goes about his clever wheeling and dealing 💖

[@rubywest6080]

I watch Phil and Kirstie as I like their show but love their rapport. They cheer me up . A great team.❤️👩🏻‍🦳🇬🇧🇦🇺❤️

[@jacqueline8559]

What a gorgeous Edwardian house that really was .I would have instantly snapped it up, EXCEPT for the lack of car parking.And the busy road. I am normally led by my heart, but that called for a 'head' decision .For that reason , I'd have bought the 6 bedroom house on the quieter Estate.

[@SF-ru3lp]

Yes, the lack of own car parking space would grind with me over time, having spent that amount of money. G Ire

[@valynteena]

Plus the 6 bedroom house was detached and you can out your own stamp on it whereas a grade 1 or 2 listed, not so much.

[@graceadeline1990]

It’s interesting how long it takes to settle in the UK. In these episodes they can buy then take 6 months to get into the property. In Australia it’s generally 30 days settlement (aka, get out) unless otherwise negotiated.

[@jacqueline8559]

It's completely stressful to buy a house in England , Wales. (I don't know about Ireland, having never lived there) Scotland has an even more stressful deal, closed envelope bids, where you have to wait to find out if you're successful. In England and Wales, where we have bought property, the whole thing can collapse right to the day of moving. Before the money has transferred and the actual last minutes to sale completion. People can pull out, right until then, and you're left without any compensation. Whole chains of sale can crash.!! We live abroad , now, and as 1st time buyers we were fine. This coming year, 2024 , we need to move house as our son is now, sadly, wheelchair dependent. I'm stressing already , as I'm unsure how it all works with a 2nd house purchase here. We've also lived in Australia. There ,we rented until we were certain we wanted to settle forever. We didn't! Houses are absolutely ridiculous prices, Normal, even horrible , bog-standard houses go for starting prices of over $1000,000 AD , There are MANY people waiting to buy every house, at open house viewings., all glaring at each other 😢 It's a cutthroat business

[@kittenlady3193]

Wonder why some vendors say they want to sell and then retract this. Disgusting to do that to that young couple Absolutely hooked on this series, and I too agree that Kirsty and Phil are the best.

[@jacqueline8559]

When we sold our first house, a new build , a man offered to purchase, We agreed, he pulled out weeks down the road. He did this 3 TIMES.! We were young and gullible!! Or just plain stupid 🙄🫣. After the 3rd reduced offer, we refused to sell to him. He then tried to increase his offer a little. We'd had enough , though , and said "do one". Refused to agree to a Sale under ANY circumstances, with that guy. (I wouldn't have trusted him with an offer above the asking price!! Who needs that constant messing around and stress?) He COMPLAINED to the Estate Agent, that we wouldn't negotiate with him. ??! Tough Luck, mate!

[@alenac.3934]

At the end, I lost track of which house the couple with 3 kids was actually bidding on, and I was happy to see they went for the nicer house. In quite a few of the Location, Location, Location episodes we hear that the vendor changed their mind and decided not to sell. I don't think it's that easy in Canada, or is it? The Agreement of Purchase and Sale is legally binding; it would be nice if a realtor could weigh in how this works outside of the UK.

[@be5952]

_(Note: I'm not a realtor. Have only bought and sold my own houses several times.)_ You are correct about it "...[not being] that easy in Canada...", or you might say it's actually much easier, depending how you mean it. In Canada, there is *no* _'ahhhh....I just think I'll change my mind and cancel the deal because.....ahhh....I feel like it this morning'_ nonsense. Here, you make an offer to purchase at whatever price and conditions *with a signed contract and a cash deposit of 'x' percent.* Then, let's say the seller accepts that, then they also *_sign a contract_* and that's typically that--- *the deal is not easily broken.* *_If_* the buyer decides to back out of the deal, they typically lose their $5000. / $10,000. (or whatever the deposit amount was) to the seller. I'm blanking what happens if the seller wants to back out of the deal like the stupid seller did in this episode. My gut feeling / memory is that it's virtually impossible for the seller to back out once they sign the acceptance of the offer to purchase, but something tells me they'd be sued in court. Luckily it's never happened to me. This British 'system' of property buying and selling isn't even a real _system._ *It's actually just a random string of events* which only with great luck ever result in a house sale being closed on. It's beyond belief they ever started with such a 'system', and more incredible yet that in the 21st century they're still going with it.

[@alenac.3934]

@@be5952 Thank you for your insight.

[@tonirose6776]

@@be5952 As a Canadian, I too think how haphazard the house-buying process is, if either party can just back out of an agreement even months after signing a contract which, apparently, isn't binding. How stressful, and unfair.

[@kathyrousseau277]

As another Canadian, this has driven me crazy as well. I don't understand how they can just back out of the contract after they've accepted. ​

[@niksgee3538]

I would have bought that house at 21.02 overlooking the park. My friend lived there, had some great parties in that house. For 140,000 today that would be worth more like 380,000

[@joannahampton5979]

I don't understand how getting a house under budget requires the mortgage provider to include the extra money required to renovate.

[@sabrinadunson6903]

Possibly The Buyers wanted that Included in the Mortgage Terms So the money to do the updates And Renovations would be there To do them and Not have to apply For additional loans to do them

Nice cottage , where will they park the cars ? The detached 6 bed would have been my choice , off street parking and a quieter area . Am not a fan of damp :-( Cool show as usual .

[@elizzy8754]

Definitely. Room for three growing boys and their friends. Some money still in your pocket - enough to add a shower room + second toilet.

[@vanessaruiz4705]

@@elizzy8754 but they said that despite having more rooms, both houses were equally big. This family might have preferred bigger rooms rather than more rooms but smaller. Anyways, each person has a different preference, but i can totally see why they went for the cottage. Parking should not a problem while they've got only one car and it's at least 10 years left until any of the kids can drive.

People drive me crazy. Houses do not have 'character' - people have character. Our first house was an 'old' one built in 1875 & our current one in 1938. Also the mother of three could get a job as the boys are all in school all day.

Interesting how a British family with three boys would consider a home with only one family bathroom that doesn't even have a shower. Not in the US.

[@merryhunt9153]

Don't believe that "Location, location, location" stuff. Have the home you wish to buy inspected. A home anywhere can have leaky plumbing, a dangerous furnace or bad wiring. New paint and nice clean floors make a house look fine, but they do not guarantee that the house has been maintained right.

No longe dedicated driveway is just such a strange thing to me, here in the States! For 4 hundred thousand dollars, they should get an acre of land, not see a neighbor, unless it's a planned community, and also definitely have a driveway, and a garage. For that kind of money, they have nothing in the front, no front yard, they are on the street with little leeway, and they can't even guarantee that they'll get a parking space?😮

[@BB-xq8mk]

Yeah, in the US you get your driveway. Unfortunately, many cities are not walkable, have no public transport and shopping is confined to soulless malls with chain stores. A little tolerance goes a long way. Plus the comprehension that many, if not most Europeans do not regard the US as a superior country to live in.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Not where I live! (Suburb of Seattle). You couldn't get a house for $400,000 here now. Not any more. A new build up the street (a big 'box' without any charm whatsoever, not much in front and little in back because the house ate up all the space) went for OVER 3 million last summer: Insane. Just completely, stupidly, outrageously insane. No swimming pool, no 'garden' to speak of (just lawn), no land, nothing special AT ALL... just a zip code... and people with stupid money.
