LLL revisited Lucy and Ben. iirc, after spending several years in the US, they returned to the UK with a child (maybe 2?) and bought a house in Tulse Hill. They seemed settled and appreciative of the fact that losing the house in this episode set them on a journey they wouldn't have missed.

[@fluffycat2993]

Ben really grew on me over the course of the episode.

[@mapsman5513]

Thanks for the update. Always appreciated.

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

Love when she said “Let’s trash the place” 🤣😂😅

[@carolineandrews7231]

Love Location, Location, Location. And it's not a case of Where's Wally? but rather Spot the cats!! I always enjoy the interaction and antics of Kirsty and Phil!

[@jhutch1681]

Love the banter, especially the witty narration comments! It's 80% of why I watch :)

[@skyebluelake]

Me too! It all started with Ben's comment about the low mailbox on the door. Next stop, the dancing girls. LOL LOL!

[@debbirch4515]

Haha.... really fun and relaxing to watch

[@judithjohnson5224]

In the 1950's when I was in my teens, Peckham Rye was an area where many immigrants started there new life and was very colourful, overcrowded and shabby. Streatham was up market with an enormous skating rink and leafy roads. How things change!

[@Sujowi]

I love seeing old technology in these early shows...like chunky Tvs and no sign of an induction hob in any kitchen! The funniest was an episode of LLL where a woman was surprised that the kitchen was full of drawers, not cupboards...I bet her kitchen has drawers now!

[@Kiinell]

Absolutely brilliant couples. "Let's trash the place". Hahaha.

[@suedonaldson7725]

What a great episode and wonderful couples. I really appreciated the guys personalities, both of them.

[@Momabear1]

Finally they are nicer buyers!

[@cathe8282]

Completely irrelevant to the house-hunting but I love Lucy's necklaces.

[@timl1481]

I was born in East Dulwich in the mid 60s and moved to Forest Hill as a 9 year old, when my parents relocated. We stayed there for about 10 years until we relocated again, this time to the North Kent Cost. Both East Dulwich and Forest Hill are great places to live.

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Kirsty LOVE your jacket👏🥰

[@nancyn347]

Great episode, thanks for the upload.

[@constancebryce1476]

Seems like all one has to do these days to “add value” is buy something…the prices go up no matter what in London. Or so it seems. But I know some of these episodes are older than others when no one knew quite how insane the market would get. A shame they could not get the house but hopefully they are in one now.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

They are. They did an update on both couples. I think Ben and Lucy's update was in 2013, and Kat and Ed's update was in 2017, I think. Ben and Lucy did some traveling before settling down in London, finding a house and having a son. Kat and Ed stayed in the same flat and did some work and was in the middle of working on the back entrance that Phil proposed in this episode.

[@thata82]

love this episode, especially Ben and Lucy

[@hiphopgaga]

Love each episode!!!! They are great together!

[@Gimo76]

I was just thinking about getting 2 couples with the same budget and don’t let them know they are going to look at the same four houses. Ok when you are retired your imagination just goes wild.😊

[@AvaT42]

I am sad that couple did not get their house, it was perfect for them. 😢

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Really interesting properties

[@twoshea9628]

Merry Christmas 🎄 I so enjoyed your Christmas tour. Especially the background music for the Christmas tree. Plus your Merry Christmas banner was really sweet. The Nativity arrangement was perfect and so was your table candle holder! Couldnt tell for sure if the green glass jars above the refrigerator had fairy lights in them. Would be added cuteness 😇 you two do such a wonderful job. Blessings to all of you and especially to your Mom. So special to honor your father with his picture front and center on the tree 🎄🇺🇸

[@sonaterese799]

Thank you

[@brendamiller8140]

Awesome show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚❤️🥰🤗

[@poodlegirl55]

I feel like a proper adult...he says while sitting on a baby bed.

[@nancyn347]

That's exactly what I thought, too! It was a funny moment, for sure.

[@HenHo90]

😂😂

[@merrim7765]

Picky couple -- did they fail to note the giant jet flying about 50 yards overhead? LOL. I've lived very close to an airport. NOT fun!

[@jenniferwiedmeyer4609]

Watching these episodes makes me realize how supersized everything actually is in the USA..

[@anneroy4560]

I am a Canadian & Canada is just a wee bit larger than than the states & Canada is 40x larger than the U.K. with 1/4 as many people ...

[@topgyalsadutshang4939]

😅

[@emmiewilliams7546]

What can buy for 295,000 to 300,000 in London now? 2022

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

Basically nothing. They did a house search with a budget of 350k in late 2020, and they searched in the outskirts of North London, and they didn't find much. The couple ended up buying a three bedroom maisonette.

[@sarahstrong7174]

A shed?

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

There is never a couple or person with a “ normal” job like bricklayer, carpenter, etc Why not?

[@Jane-lc8yq]

I feel like if these people want to sell these homes they need to learn how to stage them

[@juliansydney9819]

I don’t think it was a big thing back then
