Phil is wrong about the music room. It's NOT a shed and it WILL ADD VALUE!! Edinburgh is in the North where it is COLD and miserable through most of the year and the garden isn't 'user friendly' for months. And... AND... and MUSIC IS IMPORTANT!!! This family's children will have the advantage of a father who is aligned with THE CREATIVE SPIRIT!!! Bravo!

[@calarts2008]

agree.

[@Holidaygal]

Phil was giving economic advice in spending 30k Will not increase the value of their property as it takes up 25% of the garden and they didn’t even add on the conservatory yet. Or might not get permission for the conservatory if they put in the music shed.

[@andreaandrea6716]

@@Holidaygal I believe they are buying the house as a HOME in which to bring up their children FIRST, secondarily as an investment. The father's values around music (The Arts) being important are laudable. Of course Phil was giving financial advice, that's his job. But in THIS instance, I think the father is right. I visited Scotland in July and had to wear wool: It was FREEZING COLD!! So, indoor space is more valuable in a very Northern clime.

[@ginacrusco234]

The level to which they pooh-pooh Dom's musical avocation is shocking. If someone needed a home office, library, gym, or yoga room in order to keep their sanity, would that meet with such incredulity and disdain? Music is no mere game but a deeply soul-soothing practice.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

Well, 30k is a lot of money for what's essentially a shed at the back of an already small yard. They're just thinking practically.

[@dollimelaine]

i thought the same...was shocked at kirstie's first comment about it. i am a singer and have had the studio in the garden...it is awesome!

[@ginacrusco234]

@@Kevin-sm8pn You're right that from a practical point of view it makes no sense. But sometimes what's necessary is not practical.

[@andreaandrea6716]

So right!

[@andreaandrea6716]

@@Kevin-sm8pn But it's NOT a shed! (although, if it were me, I'd do the soundproofing myself. It isn't rocket science). It's for MUSIC, and the Arts ARE important.

[@poodlegirl55]

They made fun of the guy's music passion from start to finish, I really felt for him.Why should Dom give up all his dreams just because he has a family? I have had an art studio in every house I've lived. Sometimes it was a corner of a basement or in a shed. Right now it's a spare bedroom. But it is something I will always have and brings me joy. During Covid lockdown and a cancer battle it saved my life.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Brava! Totally agree!!

[@jackiec859]

Parents have more in their lives than being parents. My mom joined a softball team a few years after I was born, and was a great shortstop. My parents also were on bowling teams. If mom could have had a room of her own, she would have taken up writing earlier.

[@betsyj59]

Exactly and why (in 2008 no less) go into that kind of debt and not get the one thing you dreamed of having in your home? Absurd.

[@daliaanik9027]

I just love that we get to see how each episode pans out. Thank you Phil and Kirstie🩷🩷

[@mkinva2091]

Sadly Amy didn't look out that kitchen window. She is so obsessed with the front door she didn't see that the flat perpendicular looks right in her window. The other kitchen looked over rooftops with a lot more privacy. You can lacquer any door.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

Love the buildings in Scotland ..and Loved that 111 Too ..well done team !

[@sheilaenglish9738]

Both Phil and Kirsten were so dismissive of Dom’s musical passion! It’s not just a “boy with his toys” . Bravo to him for getting planning permission for a sound proof building in the garden.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Absolutely!!

[@martinfpavey]

Remember, it's television! They need some belligerence to, apparently, make it interesting.

[@AFAskygoddess]

This couple has a weird priority to impress. I don't live in my entryway. Who cares? That's the least of my priorities when choosing a new home. Actual living space, storage and location, location, location is what I care about.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

So basically everything that everyone else is looking for, which will then drive the price up and make everything even more expensive than it is now. Way to go, genius, lol.

[@andreaandrea6716]

(19:20) Ok... the kitchen has 3 windows and that's amazing ... however, I've seen larger sinks in tiny houses. You'd be hard put to wash up a tea cup in that sink. It's the sort of 'second sink' one sees in grand kitchens (or as part of a bar set up) but, AS A MAIN SINK, it's bloody useless. The STOVE, on the other hand, is GORGEOUS!!!

[@poodlegirl55]

I noticed that. I was hoping it was a bar sink and there was another big one somewhere.

The man’s music is his passion.

[@TangentOmega]

Amy wants 10 Downing St

[@bjbrown]

Will the music he makes bother the neighbors? I have a neighbor who beats his drum and the whole neighborhood has to listen. It's very annoying.

[@andreaandrea6716]

soundproofing.

[@MsPseudonymous]

My neighbor practices his drum in his garage- usually on Saturday and Sunday day mornings. Early.

[@LarWolkan]

I don't know how that Matt dude can stand living with Amy! My god...

[@d.d.mac.3773]

I agree! She's a misery. Throws his tool box out, lingers in the doorway so people notice she lives there? Shallow.

[@amywalker3647]

That front door is amazing. 😂

[@becksarmstrong8264]

Poor kid going down that slide!!!!

[@LarWolkan]

The realtor Phil obviously doesn't get it about Dom's music studio. 30k for a sound proof studio is not a shed... Might be a great selling point and if they don't plan on moving, why should they care.... Goofs!

[@calarts2008]

true. I created my work studio in the Hudson Valley (its a second home) and I'm selling it currently, getting the price I needed. You may have to wait for the right buyer when the time comes, but there are many creatives in the Western world.

[@ВартанВартанян-з2у]

Amy brought awful furniture to the flat((( That sofa and chairs look horrible!!!🤢🤢🤢

[@joyb5525]

In that year, Edinburgh must be the most expensive places to live in Europe. I'm wondering where do normal people live?

[@denaclark7784]

i dont understand. if people are so picky, why don't they just build a house the way they want it?

Two whiny couples who don't appreciate how well off they are.

[@deb7518]

I kept waiting for either Ben, Kirstie or the blonde woman's husband to buy an old door, some shiny black paint, and present her with the finished product at some point.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Who is Ben?

[@dianewalker4633]

Well done on finding two great properties. It wasn't made easy for you, but you did it. Sorry, but I didn't warm to Amy. I didn't care for her in the original episode of this and liked her even less in this follow up episode. She's too self-obsessed, even down to lingering outside her front door so that others can see her walking through it! Her attitude is one of her way or the highway and her clear egocentric ways have done nothing to endear her as a character. She cares only about the impression she gives off and being better than others. Yuk.

[@fluffycat2993]

I didn't like her in the original episode but this time I did, she cares for Matt a great deal and somehow this time struck me as somewhat more vulnerable and not actually the-hell-with-you at all.

[@heatherrichmond2984]

Why a basement not great

[@amywalker3647]

How can bdrms downstairs confuse people? It’s ridiculous. Wtf?

[@betsyj59]

The stars of the show are pretty ignorant in terms of the difference between a shed and a music studio. And to compare a music studio to a sports car... pretty philistine if you ask me.

[@cindycreateforlife]

Peoples’ desire to impress and make people say wow! I would rather they be impressed that I I bought within my budget! Show offs never impress! The other couple is very unrealistic!

[@MrMilwaukee]

Are you sure Sara’s name isn’t “Karen”. I can’t imagine being married to her

[@toomanythings]

Amy all snobbery about the door and lino but then she puts her filthy boots up on the sofa.

Can't they at least hand Kirsty a hairbrush?

You aren’t THAT familiar with the Scottish light breeze aren’t you… and she’s WAY more comfortable in her skin and hair and personality than you seem to be, hearing you commenting on a casual hairdo
