City Flat vs. Character Cottage - Location Location Location - S14 EP12 - Real Estate TV

[@ginacrusco234]

What a great episode! Abigail is an impressive young person, sensible, level-headed, far-sighted, and intuitive too. I wish I could see follow-ups on both these deals.

[@dtulip1]

It does happen sometimes annoyingly though you always get the full original program too 😅 I suspect sometimes when the researchers ask the question there's been a break up or they're too busy, so people don't want to be on the revisit 🙂

[@nancyn347]

It's so refreshing so see a young buyer like Abigail want to keep all the period features of that house, even the bathroom. Too many old homes are stripped of their character when renovated. Love this show, thanks for the upload.

[@serenakoleno9338]

Yes, though I liked the green bathroom suite, chocolate brown, no! Would sell that set and get a lighter, prettier color. Or a white clawfoot tub.

[@nancyn347]

@@serenakoleno9338 I agree, and I think the girls would do a terrific job of bringing it to it's original state. From tired to fab!

[@anneroy4560]

She says 're-date it' ... she wants to 'back-date it' ...

[@Glorindellen]

I bought a 1941 home years ago, most of the period character was gone. 6 years ago I had a house fire and I had great fun in putting character back into it, as they stripped the interior down to the studs to get rid of the smoke smell. I truly had a bank canvas.

[@nancyn347]

@@Glorindellen Good for you! Sorry about your house fire, though.

[@Gimo76]

The two friends were the best on this show. They live in reality n know what their budget is. Good job girls….

[@sonaterese799]

The buyers were wonderful in this episode - makes a change from all those who are so negative

[@tonirose6776]

I can't believe how happy I get to see both these deals go through. One would think it was me buying the properties! There is so much to admire in the personalities and competence of both Phil and Kirstie, and that's a large part of it.

[@andreaandrea6716]

So, so true about Kirstie and Phil! And, me too, I was thrilled that they got their properties!

[@Mariana-ud7dw]

My favourite show at the moment. Keep reloading the golden oldies.

[@sheilabroad8192]

Yes. 🤗

[@danschmitz4699]

Agreed, love it

[@andreaandrea6716]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED to see another episode! They make my day. Seriously, if we could bottle Phil and Kirstie...

[@kennedyreid2504]

I just love that couple!

[@lisabevans8107]

One of your best shows! They're all great. This was just special.

[@leotatem4879]

Easily one of my favorite episodes. It’s hard not to like both of these pairs as they look for their homes in Manchester. And some master negotiating as well. Cheers!

[@martinfpavey]

Awwwww, the girls' reactions when the offer was accepted!!! Fantastic.

[@obeahpantie]

One of the best episodes-adorable buyers and two great properties! Really impressed with downtown Manchester’s period buildings galore 😮

[@deb7518]

I'm from America and I didn't get much of a good impression of Manchester, from the quick zip through I saw years ago on a bus in the pouring rain. It just seemed industrial and gloomy, so it's so good to see all the neat period buildings and vibrant neighborhoods with cafes, etc. in this show. Also, great results for both sets of buyers!

[@cfgrain]

Absolutely brilliant Abigail; well done as Phil would say! You're a STAR!!!! This is my favorite episode of all time.

[@AFAskygoddess]

I remember the thrill of buying my first house. I'm so excited for them. Two great property choices.

[@elizabeths4371]

Probably the Best episode I've seen to date! The buyers were good natured and clear on what they wanted, and stuck to it. And I commend both Kirstie and Phil for 2 of the Best "cheeky" deals I seen done- Well Done All!

[@marykelly9698]

These 2 girls are amazing 👏 they knew excatly what they wanted and nothing phased them well done girls I'm delighted for yous ❤

[@Oceangirl60]

I love this show....and I love Phil and Kirsty!

Awesome you two, everybody is so happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💞🥰🤗

[@patriceogrady9763]

I agree! Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

It makes me nervous that there wasn't the usual small update at the end (The deal fell through, they're waiting for the keys and hope to be in their place in two weeks, Omgz, we got the keys and we're doing all the renovations now damn it!) and they never got an update in another episode. Hope the deals ended well for them.

[@andreaandrea6716]

me too!

[@rstar6496]

Good one! Thanks.

[@sailorgirl2017]

Abigail could make the smallest room as a large walk-in closet or a changing room. The cabinet in the smaller bedroom could be moved there making the room larger enouvh for Kay. .

[@vanessaruiz4705]

yeah, if kay's room is smaller she could have a wardrobe in the other room, that would compensate for it :) I loved this episode

[@englishrose4388]

Loved this episode.

[@joyb5525]

2012, love a revisit. Where are they all now! Brilliant

[@thehungrygoldfish]

I don’t think we’re ever going to have updates on these two pairs.

[@Carylina1]

Excellent episode. Loved it.

[@rashmilonikar3897]

Have you revisited these buyers? Would love to watch it

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Neither pair was revisited.

Phil, you look very dashing in that coat!

[@maureengordon6496]

[@heathermurray9939]

They never mentioned about the ground rent on the apartments, as they can be expensive

[@andreaandrea6716]

What's 'ground rent'?

[@anneroy4560]

@@andreaandrea6716 I think she might mean council tax or some manner of property tax ...

[@andreaandrea6716]

@@anneroy4560 Oh. Thank you!

[@Alex-jq8sf]

Ground rent is the fee you pay the freeholder for having the property on their land. The service charge for the upkeep of communal areas can also be very high, building insurance can be very high for apartments.

[@andreaandrea6716]

@@Alex-jq8sf So... (trying to understand)... if you buy a flat, you pay ground rent, but if you buy a house, the land belongs to you? (I don't know this system).

[@shirleyjordan5941]

Service charges ground rent .??

[@shirleyjordan5941]

What about service charges etc

[@vanessaruiz4705]

isnt that comparable to council tax for houses? Or is it actually more?

Someone tell me what these paces are worth now! I bet they could have made an INSANE profit

[@jillgott6567]

It is tacky when viewing a home to sit on the home owners furniture especially the beds !

[@kellyk.3855]

Especially since they don't come with the house

[@bbgunn917]

And sometimes Kirstie puts her feet/shoes on that furniture

[@KatieGray1]

@@kellyk.3855 Anything can come with the house depending on how you write the contract, but I think people do want to see the view from the bed as part of imagining themselves living there. Personally, I never sit on furniture when looking at houses but I will bend down to get an idea of the view out a window always because that's important to me as someone who is at home a lot more than most.

[@gopony6798]

Do you allow your guests to sit on your furniture? I mean you are asking these people to give you six figures of their hard earned money so how is sitting on the couch to discuss giving you money tacky?

[@malcommuggeridge7181]

That one episode with the annoying old gay dentist and his Elton John-looking partner.. who didn't buy anything btw.. Wouldn't want them touching my furniture.

[@pmroveda]

If they don’t keep the bathtub, I sure hope it isn’t cast iron

[@Josh95x]

[@brendaguerin5423]

David needs to buy what he wants he is the only one putting money the in and who nows how long they will be together. Also he should get some legal advise about ownership!!

[@Asphodel27one]

Buying something because a possibly temporary girlfriend (or male friend) wants it - not a good idea for the future.

[@malcommuggeridge7181]

She may have eventually porked up, then dumped.

Interesting how Kay is going to move in and renovate her friends house while paying off her mortgage with no equity in the house

[@beltingtokra]

I don't understand what Ashley is contributing to the flat. I wouldn't want to move in without having a stake in the place, by renting or sharing ownership with a partner.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

She can’t have a stake in it unless she’s contributing to the down payment, which it sounds like she’s not. So she’s probably either renting or he’s allowing her to stay rent free.

[@vanessaruiz4705]

well, maybe she didnt have the financial means at the time. They probably sold this after few years and bought something bigger together (assuming they continued being together)

[@malcommuggeridge7181]

Sweet vag on demand is a major contribution.

[@martinfpavey]

David's girlfriend is very sweet. She really wants her man to be happy, it's lovely.

[@malcommuggeridge7181]

I see clips on PBS in 2024 and wonder if she's still in the picture...

what? I don't see that at all. I think there's a little projection going on here.

[@Atlas-tp8dw]

It's not financially smart on her part, as everything is contradictory and unsafe. She is paying HIS mortgage on HIS property (a serious investment) but in a relationship with him without a serious commitment. Sharing a life together, except for the mortgage that she is helping to pay for when she gives him rent. Shacking up is never a good idea. ​@@andreaandrea6716
