Oh my goodness, WHAT? The sweetest couple! I feel terrible for them- they found their dream home, only to lose out again bc of their own buyers falling through? And at the start of the show, their buyers couldn’t wait to get in. What is the financial screening there!! So unfair! 😢

[@I.am.Michelle]

Noooo! The cutest, most humble couple that liked something in every house didn't get their dream home in the end?! So sad! I hope they are happy and healthy in a lovely home now. Thanks for sharing this episode, it was a pleasure to watch!

I loved number 2

[@bosse641]

Amazing properties all 3. ...oh my would love to live there.

[@wackthegood8884]

House number 1 had potential but such a strange layout? The dining room was at the front of the house, but to get there from the kitchen you had to walk through the snug, the lounge and the study! Wouldn't fancy doing that with a bowl of soup! I liked both houses 2 and 3. I hope the couple finally sold their own house and found a new property they both loved.

House 1 was charming. Yes, it needs updating but still. House 2 was also magical inside and out. The mystery was also lovely - a lot of stairs though. The couple were so enthusiastic about all the houses.

Indeed - but the whole UK selling system is SO frustrating ! I've bought properties in both Australia and New Zealand. You make an offer, and if accepted, everyone signs contracts there and then. There is usually a "cooling off" period to allow for any surveys, mortgage deals and so on, but then after an agreed period - usually 30 days, but can be less or more by agreement, the sale is done. This means you can look at your next house knowing the money is effectively in the bank from Day One. I realise that Britain has a lot more in the way of historical humps and bumps - rights of way, mining rights, and so on. But if these were already prepared by the vendor, surely things could go through quickly and simply ? Oh, and get rid of the eco-rating nonsense ! Nobody looks at the sales particulars and says "Oh, it has a very bad eco-rating. I can't possibly add insulation. I won't look at this one ...."

House one was interesting. House two was perfection. House 3 could have been interesting, but not as a semi detached house and certainly not with the entire garden to the front. There was one thing important to me missing from one and three, and that is a proper entrance hall at the front door. I hate walking directly into a room. I need somewhere to have a cobbler's at home, to hang outerwear in inclement weather. By the same token i hate a kutchen diner without a formal dining room. Hosting a dinner party, even if not quite so grand as Our Hyacinth, requires a dedicated room away from the mess of cooking.

Me too, i lliked house number 2 more

[@brownsand3482]

😊😊wow mystery house was amazing❤❤wish the best

[@IloveSituandbob]

I have to say, the host/agent who helped the couple find the three homes presented did a really fantastic job. To have a couple, let alone one person, love each of the homes they are shown is rare. A lot of episodes she’s been in, she doesn’t seem to get it right but today she knocked it out of the park. Well done. And yes it was unfortunate to learn the couple had the wool pulled out from underneath them. They seem so deserving and gracious that you can’t help but want that happy ending for them:)

[@bethyoung978]

Love the 2nd home. And this couple is great! Hope they will pop in on this site and tell us what they have found.

[@jennyc1846]

Bugger!! Really wanted this lovely couple to find their new forever home...I will ask the question yet again, cant you put an offer on a house in the UK subject to selling your own...its done in Australia all the time...anyone answer this question for me please.. Nice try Ginny

[@valynteena]

I liked house number 2 and 3. I would have picked house 2 and created an extension downstairs to make a masrer suite with the downstairs bathroom then leave the one to be created upstairs to serve the 3 bedrooms. The kitchen in house 2 was my favourite. I also prefered it's layout. The beams in house 3 was blinding plus it was semi detached.

[@julen2380]

I'm getting really annoyed by the presenter harping on about "ooh, downsizing went out of the window!" when he is absolutely right: They've only shown them bigger houses! Should they hated all of them for being too big? Jeez. That said: what a lovely couple! I do hope they found their dream house and have been living there happily.

[@birgitriff2010]

O, help, this old bathroom and toilet. 😢

[@brownsand3482]

amazing kitchens..never seen such cookers😊😊lovely

[@debrah7548]

Poor people!

[@katharinatrub1338]

the two last Houses where stunning, Both! the think which surprises me in so many of the old houses, and 'Older' couples who accept too live in them? They almost all seem to have sop many stairs...! Beautiful properties they were, a lovely couple and charming presenter Ginny Buckley!

[@brownsand3482]

how lovely..as always❤❤😊😊

[@Debba521]

I'm an American, and it is so strange to me to see kitchens without fridges and bedrooms without built in closets. How the heck do you cook properly with the fridge being in a room away from the kitchen? So weird!

[@lovesagt]

It's what they're use to. The uneven floors get me. I'd always have to be aware of this just to walk from room to room and would get really tired of it.

[@roseeamer5027]

Americans must have weird whatever to other countries!

[@CaponeCabin]

I'm in America and my refrigerator is in the pantry

[@lovesagt]

@@roseeamer5027 Can you give an example of weird American kitchens? Surely you didn't mean level floors is weird, right?

[@Debba521]

@@CaponeCabin Never seen that in the States and I've lived in a lot of different homes in two different states over the years.
