The yard's too small, no wow factor, bad location, and the sun's in my eyes. If you like Mom's house so much, stay there! How aggravating!

[@Elise-jz7nm]

Mum

[@timeaaraouzou710]

Phil and Kirsty have angelic patience in this one. I would have screamed!

[@trishdelacour8746]

I may have slapped them!

[@clareking4434]

Only Phil and Kirstie could hold their cool with this lot.

[@randychase305]

Ridiculous expectations from the couple. And the lady suffers from paralysis caused by over-analyis.

[@rubinasilva4771]

I'd run away from that couple. Gosh hat off to Phil being so patience.

[@SallyKirch]

These buyers are horrible. The young couple is unrealistic. I feel for Kirstie and Phil.

[@kentlatimer3706]

"Doesn't sound that spontaneous." Hahahahahahahahaha! Ohhhhhhhh, Kirstie! We love you across the pond!

[@wendykarle3114]

😂

[@sh.4409]

We don't here anymore. She is a snob and doesn't think people should have detached houses.

[@monicatoro2286]

Kirstie is for sure my absolute favourite Brit ever.

[@shoshidog]

So frustrating but still a good cautionary tale about going into house hunting with unrealistic expectations. Thanks for posting new episodes ❤

[@kattygabby3519]

Patience, patience! They keep shifting bits and pieces!!! Phil is an absolute saint! Kirstie's had it!!😊 Cut them loose!😅 Probably still looking!🤔

[@joannahampton5979]

If I had disabled family visiting and wanted children soon a main floor toilet would be on my list. How is an upstairs bedroom & old home narrowness wheelchair friendly?

[@toodlesoops7761]

EXACTLY - people incapable of just being in reality and living in joy

[@susanhazard632]

An amazingly difficult search. Both parties have champagne tastes on a beer budget, and the young couple don't have a clue of how to get on the same page. Period cottages have small rooms. Period. Buy something with a loo downstairs for dad and even a bedroom downstairs for sis, and get on with it. Have a children and realize that you can't take care of sister, too. Find a place near your son's school and get on with it. When circumstances change, sell and buy up.

[@adriang3498]

you hit the nail on the head. pain in the bum, all three

[@clairelaker7153]

Compromise! So frustrating.

[@donnabuttery9316]

Valid points....❤

[@zoesolanki961]

So true

[@bedandbreakfasthanoi1321]

i bet they're both still living with their parents, waste of phil and kirsty's time 😂

[@souledout3791]

Yes you are probably right. So wish washy . Once again I came to the same conclusion…. Phil and Kirstie are SAINTS !!!

[@SF-ru3lp]

Well, at least Phil and Kirsty get paid for doing the programme (which they well deserve). Thankfully their remuneration doesn't depend on clients purchasing! G Ire

[@andreaandrea6716]

BLESS YOU!!!!! More Kirstie and Phil!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO HAPPY, and feeling utterly spoiled! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!

[@monapaquin9794]

Never disliked an episode so much

[@hunpat4916]

Ditto.

[@BritGirlJay]

'Good enough' has always been my watchword for house buying. It's rare to get everything you would like (for me it was entrance hall, large en suite and kitchen diner lol). My current house in the US is the same - close enough to things I wanted even if not perfect (small bathrooms, average kitchen no room for table or island) but great garden, great quiet location, good sized main rooms. You have to go by your budget and not your 'wants' too - I couldn't afford the house I really would love but the one I have works for the budget I had.

[@SF-ru3lp]

Very reasonable, very sensible, very practical! Makes for a person who is nice to relate to! G Ire

[@imonearthnow1903]

When the people don't buy it's always a let down because everyone likes a happy finish, right? I guess the show has to have some filler. Not all will find the house they want. Phil and Kirstie are the best! Thanks for the upload!

[@meganseastrom5467]

This episode had me literally yelling at the screen! Both clients are being unreasonable, both want perfection but don't have the budget for perfection. Plus the young couple, Andrea in particular, is just too comfortable in her parents home. She's too immature and spoiled, wanting a $800K house on a $250K budget. SMH

[@robinwashburn8804]

The woman of that couple has NO INTEREST in leaving her mother! I wonder how long it will take for her partner to realize that as facts!

[@lidiawolanskyj5560]

He's not a whole lot better, really. Life at mum's is way to comfortable and they are clueless of what they need for a disabled person.

[@victoriamacpriest7130]

This was SO hard to watch 🙄 I have no idea how these people can be so picky... and on TV no less! Ugh 🤮

[@kateleblanc604]

Both clients are beyond sensible!

[@dancintilleyedie7287]

what a pain in the butt all 3 of them.

[@susanholmes1244]

😂😂

[@jojojojojojodesu176]

This is a hard watch, but good episode nonetheless

[@toodlesoops7761]

Sad to see people using "boards" and ignoring reality. I've lived in many homes in 25 years of marriage, and always too busy working to bother -let the husband get what we could afford - always lived in great joy - open up your world and joy - don't get stuck in wow factor nonsense - so much more to life - NOW - Kirstie and Phil - you are gems and I hope you understand how much great JOY you both give to us - your patience defies my comprehension - your wisdom is profound - again - THANK YOU

[@dsr8223]

The board was hilariously useless.

[@lidiawolanskyj5560]

Wow is really what people themselves put into a house to make it a home. Many "wows" are really because the buyers like what the current owners have done, but that will vanish when they move out...

[@tinaroberts5858]

What a beautiful young man, vinny is. Love that he enjoys his grandparents' home. So true. Grams and pa rarely say no. Lol

[@carolyndifiori-hopkins6960]

Why does anyone need two living rooms?

[@meganseastrom5467]

because she's spoiled. Reality bites but hasn't bit her yet. It's been two years, she's too immature and comfortable in her parents house. Personally I would divorce her.

[@fdm2155]

And why does a couple with no children need a "bigger" primary living room? If they've seen several houses, how have they not realized "charming" cottages don't have large rooms?

[@lidiawolanskyj5560]

They are more common in period honmes in the UK. Sometimes smaller ones are called "snugs," but not typical for modern homes.

[@chalayan]

These people are a pain to watch. They have budget for a casio watch but want a Tag Heuer instead. I would tell them beggar can't be choosy.

[@hiphoppingalong]

The couple can just wait until her folks die and never move away from the family home. Excruciatingly hard to watch such spoiled individuals. The young woman is also still a child mentally and not an independent woman really ready to “move on” out on her own.

[@NYCHeartandSoul]

The cottage with the garden in the back and the field behind that with the beautiful view was delightful. The garden was lovely and backed out onto the countryside. Is she looking to grow a field of corn? I feel like she was imposing her will, and then her partner backed her up by stating they would like a bigger garden. it had a nice large living room with a fireplace also a very spacious kitchen. Plus it had the easy access and decent sized bathroom, which would be so essential for her sister. I just don’t get where they’re at. The guy seems sweet enough, but his partner is so demanding and also perhaps it’s both of them that keep switching their tune. I think the mother with the young son is just plain indecisive. She might be better off if she let him go out househunting alone. that was said tongue and cheek, but only slightly. Also, why move an hour away from school? Could they be in the country Half an hour away. Was it a budget the constraint? She perhaps has a possibility of buying because the need is quite pressing, and she did make an offer on one place. As to the couple I think they’re going to be at her parents’ house for the next few years minimum.

[@conniekiers9554]

So how is that sister in the wheelchair ever going to manage climbing stairs to a 1st floor bedroom?

[@dsr8223]

Exactly!

[@monicatoro2286]

Gosh I really want for Phil and Kirstie to help me gte my first home cause I know I'd be the opposite of these couples! I liked most of the properties and can easily see the great potential in a lot of them!! Especially with those budgets in such a nice county I'd be so happy to see what I can get.

[@andreaandrea6716]

BEST GIFT EVER (this video)!!!!!!!!!! Made my morning!

[@issievdhorst]

IMPOSSIBLE to please clients... what is wrong with them!!!!!

[@SuzetteGrist]

You have peanuts to spend, Phil and K bend over backwards to show ex accomodation. I don't know how they keep their hands off stupid timewasting buyers' necks 😂

[@lb8781]

That couple didn't want a house ... they wated a new life, but just didn't know it. They will stay at the parents' house until they inherit it.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Great, they can wait 40 years! lol

[@fdm2155]

Cracks me up when young people buying their first home on a relatively small budget, have SUPER specific criteria that usually are out of their budget. 😂😂

[@gayewells3558]

Yup! Kirsty said it: wanting a £800k house for their £250k budget 😂

[@AFAskygoddess]

Reality is going to kick them in the rear if they don't start growing up. Their sense of entitlement for a first house they can't afford is mind boggling.

[@mattneillninasmom]

These house hunters are looking for the ideal property rather than a step up from what they've got now, on their way to something better in the future.

[@marianemartin2644]

Well there is no cure for stupid.

[@wendykarle3114]

Ugh!! Incredibly unrealistic. And All the homes Kirsty and Phil showed them were incredible for their budgets! Glad in the end , they all said they learned something.

[@SF-ru3lp]

The second house for Joanne and boyfriend - great space inside, great views and great proximity to Parents! G Ire

[@merrim7765]

I looked at 5 houses and one was a NO with a car wash behind it! The others sold the same day. Sixth house has 10 people looking at it when I was allowed in for the 2nd open house that day. Went through once, and said, "Let's make an offer." 5 offers by 10AM next day, but mine was accepted. I couldn't even remember what it looked like!! Thank god for the internet for a reminder. It's 8 yrs later, and houses around here still sell in one day. News about a struggling market is just goofy media.

[@woody9052]

I would be in heaven to live in any of them.....try living in a caravan

[@thehungrygoldfish]

But would you pay to live in any of them? The mortgage isn’t $0 lol

[@ginacrusco234]

Oh for heaven's sake. In vetting buyers for the show, can't they eliminate people with expectations that exceed their budgets? It's just a frustrating exercise in futility for all of us.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

It’s difficult to say who’s going to be difficult based on a sheet of details.

[@SF-ru3lp]

I think that it's only when 'scratched below the surface'/faced with real houses that 'deeper things' are revealed... G Ire

[@conniekiers9554]

I think that both of these house searchers just wanted to be on tv without any intention of moving out of mom and dad's place .... if things are so good at mom and dad's just keep sponging off of them

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Except they were both house hunting before they were on the show.

[@AFAskygoddess]

​@@thehungrygoldfish, they were house looking, not hunting. 🤣

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@AFAskygoddess At least they looked beforehand. Most of the people on other Uk house hunting shows never even looked at houses before they got on the show. Escape to the Country is notorious for this. It’s why they have little to no updates and they almost never end up with a house.

[@JenniferKokoski]

I'm disabled and use a power wheelchair everyday. These are the basic requirements you need for any house. A zero entry to get inside. A bathroom on the first floor. Now bedroom on the first floor with ensuite would be ideal but if you can, then you need a straight staircase upstairs with a chair lift to take you to the second floor. First floor in UK speak. There you can have a bedroom. This couple is not thinking in terms of accessibility. They want a character home but those often include steps and small rooms and pathways. Usually in the UK there's only one bathroom and it's on the second floor. Phil was awesome not thinking in terms of accessibility. He only showed them one home with a ground floor loo. And none of the rooms on the ground floor were convertible to a bedroom. That's whack. Why was he not showing them bungalows? That would have made more sense. If it was because their budget couldn't afford it then say so. I'm not surprised they didn't find anything that spoke to them. All the properties were inappropriate for their needs. Phil knows better. When there is a wheelchair you have to go with ground floor access to the most needed features. The kitchen, the bedroom and the bathroom. Everything else comes second. As for the single mom, I don't understand why she held on to that house on the market for a year. The courtyard garden was ridiculous. Way too small and all full of concrete. That's not a garden. You can handle the small spaces of the kitchen and the drawing room on the first floor but that street is way too busy. I wouldn't hold on to that house as an upgrade to her current living situation. And I doubt she was able to find a property that suited her. Life at home with the grandparents is probably just too good. Her son gets along with her parents. And so does she. She'll probably inherit the house instead of buy one. Kirsty at least tried. And she showed the mom a lot of decent properties. It just wasn't meant to be. Sometimes these shows are a waste of time. But I'm going to fault Phil for his lack of an accessible househunt. As a disabled person, this is something that is completely underserved in the home market. I would like to see more of it in these shows.

[@legenequesenberry5568]

The father and sister are not the buyers. Visits could be arranged at their home that is accessible. If spending time with someone is the important bit, it shouldn’t matter whether that is at their house of yours.

[@IloveSituandbob]

The couple had been the ones searching for a home. I think that a homes true priority for them was confusing as it changed a bit . Wheelchair access may have been mentioned however with each house Phil had shown, they didn’t make mention of those features being absent so…..you can only do so much with the bits given to work with. Buyers like the three featured in the episode need a host who can go pull out the wand but that’s a different show. The Second Lady with the house she was wanting to buy, her family sure helped her dodge a bullet. I’m not sure what I thought the house she really wanted was going to look like but yikes, dungeon anyone? Dreary and drab. No life in the home and no good

[@LisaofHopewell]

Putting down your parents on tv while they are housing you and your kid for free while you look for your uber-picky list--no words! Are these people acting horrible for t.v.?

[@tracykelly4646]

Poor Phil...that couple was just nuts!

[@mapsman5513]

I feel sorry for my poor realtor as we looked at properties for a few years before I gave up and bought something that had loads of compromises. Sometimes, the house you want is just not available at your budget and there’s not much you can do. I live where prices are continuing to rise, so every day of delay means the house I would like is further out of my budget. Thank you for posting these videos. I enjoy seeing how people get on.

[@4dc2london]

An episode that seemed to be the case of simply wanting to be on tv, not actually having assistance in hunting for property. It isn't often that there are two complete loss "buyers", but this one certainly was a complete "loss" - particularly as there were a couple of excellent property prospects for each "buyer". (And the one the mother was supposedly stuck on was *not* a house to purchase until you had a lot of extra cash to throw at it - because if you smell "damp", there is "damp" and usually a lot of it through the walls, etc. And you could SEE the effects of "damp" in the enclosed garden. She was a lost cause.) It would be interesting to know what, if anything, either "buyer" did in the long run. (Or whether the "couple" was even still together.)

[@juliemcdowell527]

The patience of saints! What annoying people

[@valynteena]

For the young couple, I would have gone for the 2nd property if I wanted to stay within budget. It had only one living space but it was big, spacious with nice views. The 5th property was pretty, and I would take it if I can afford the extra. As for the single mum, the 3rd property was nice, as well as the 1st one.

[@tessamacdonald-s7p]

Poor Phil what a task ,lets just say it s not only the last house without personality ,or charm!!

[@sonaterese799]

I did a double take, when 'miss lacking in personality' came out with her comment about the house having no personality (who does she think she is?)

[@jenniemoi1020]

Let’s mooch off of mom and dad😏

[@heatherkatrinawoods7520]

such babies, these people are living in a bubble. live in the vision box, throw out some ideas and youll fit in well. wake up. and as for that miserable damp property, pull the blinkers off, sniff the damp. youll be sick 300 days of the year.

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

Do any of these couples understand how much extra the "wow factor" adds to the bill? 250k isn't a very big budget that also needs "wow". They need to pay for reality first. #2 - And 150k for a budget is practically insane.

[@SF-ru3lp]

Last house for Joanne &Vinny has superb view etc etc! Kirsty and Phil pointed out the facts very gently and clearly. G Ire

[@vanessaruiz4705]

yeah she kept comparing houses to her parents' , but her parent's was on a very different budget.

[@1956suzie]

Andrea reminded me of Gemma from Coronation Street

[@bertie6346]

Poor Phil and Kirstie! What pathetic house hunters. The young couple were wanting something they obviously could not afford and I wonder whether they just wanted to be on TV because the woman wanted a wheelchair friendly house yet never mentioned a downstairs bedroom, downstairs loo or even a bungalow. She came across as a very negative and complaining type of person wheres her husband was slightly better. I think she should spend some of her money on getting that ridiculous and unflattering hairstyle sorted out. The single woman wasn't much better. What a waste of Phil and Kirstie's time.

[@dsr8223]

😅 So true!

[@davidmcquaid2557]

And all this time I thought Siegfried Farnon was the most annoying from that area.

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

That was a tough watch ..ouch

[@jillsmiley7701]

How is a first floor on the second floor? I live in US

[@thehungrygoldfish]

In the UK, the first floor is called the ground floor, and then the second floor is called the first floor and so on and so forth. So a two floor house would have a ground floor and a first floor.

[@karenkelly9733]

I am an American, and it is confusing to us. I bought a house in Italy and experienced that confusion initially.

[@dsr8223]

If stairs are a problem and you are an American (as I am) looking at AirBnB listings in the UK, you've got to be careful. Listings for "first floor" units are actually upstairs. And, then there's the fact that they drive on the "wrong" side of the road in the UK, but it's still my favorite place to visit by far. I love the UK, and I love this program. ❤

[@mercy615]

These buyers are they worst I've seen on this show...time waisted 😬

[@clairegiani4722]

Would anyone know what year this was?

[@clairegiani4722]

Just found out - 2016

[@marthab.higgins149]

it seems that in most of the homes in the series a lot of space is wasted with hallways that could be better incorporated into the living spaces.

[@welkinalauda]

The younger couple: he keeps talking about "our own little family" - code for "me, her, our kids, no in-laws, no wheelchair accessibility." She thinks she ought to want a home of her own, but doesn't actually want to move, because she doesn't want to abandon her sister. I see three possible endings: build a tiny not-accessible house at the bottom of her parent's garden where he can get away; they split up; the sister ends up in an institution after the mother dies.

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I cannot believe the expectations for Perfection that these buyers have. What a waste of your time I think they will both be living with their parents forever. The younger couple probably want to buy their parents home. I'm afraid I think it's just a little sick

[@heatherrichmond2984]

Thumbs down on the clients thumbs for Phil and Kristie

[@carolinejohnson22]

Phil is constantly finding houses with all the criteria but the girl doesn't want her own house and boyfriend parrots whatever she says 🙃

[@sharonmassey2923]

Wow, how frustrating! Someone should tell the vision board couple that having stuff on there they don't like defeats the purpose! I also told the female half at one point to "Grow up!" A follow-up would be interesting, assuming it doesn't end with two phone calls.

[@gorillaglue7232]

[@binkybaxter4723]

ugh. She wanted a house with a view, and there is no view and no yard for kiddo and on a busy road and smells of damp. What am I missing?

It was significantly larger than the other places.

Bunch of time wasters! 🙄

[@maryhook9478]

There are no West Yorkshire Gems. THIS IS WEST YORKSHIRE!

[@lesliezagrobelny4820]

Flakey couple, not so desperate to get out of the parents home for her and the kid obviously.

[@Sally-j8h]

This was a really interesting programme. Your job is relatively hard but when your buyers continually find fault with everything you’re showing them even when it meets all their criteria, it’s time to let them get on with it alone. Frustrating!

[@andreanittel2240]

I think they all should just stay with mummy and daddy..................

[@amyburl3826]

WOW! This was thee absolute most frustrating one I’ve seen thus far! Delusional

[@AFAskygoddess]

What an annoying, whiny young couple. And the single mom is only very slightly better. Probably two of the worst house hunts I've seen on this show.

[@michaweir6146]

GET RID OFF THE VISION BOARD!

[@SuzetteGrist]

I agree with all comments. Don't know why why K and P bothered with these 2 couples. Waste of time. They have no conception of what they can afford. 😢

[@jacquelynbrown3137]

I do feel like the young couple were just a pair of Tire kickers that had no intention of moving out of the family home she'll probably inherit it I think they wanted to be on a TV show as for the single mom she has to be pretty used to sacrifice at this point I'm not sure why she was struggling so much

[@bar10ml44]

This was tough. Both buyers demonstrating just a little stupidity.

[@lidiawolanskyj5560]

Very unpromising househunters. Not really prepared to make a decision and definitely lacking in vision.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

The first couple should try to speak English! And the woman alonecwith son,,,its to small 🙄🙄🙄

[@CarolineClark-jq8ji]

The mother with the son should have bought the house she liked, even despite kirsty's comments, cos it was the only one she liked. Who cares if on main rd, was bigger/characterful/a big generous roof overhead, suit family etc... now she risks missi g out, espec if single parent on a modest fixed income. Is this pre or post property boom. -if prior, then will risk missing out altogether.

[@SuzetteGrist]

What a shame P and K have wasted their time....

[@pimpozza]

Why you keep watching these episodes when all you do is criticise (and seem to have something against Brits) is beyond me.. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

[@chrisbrook1505]

Just don’t get it: They all want these large gardens, yet just how much use do they get out of them in that rainy and windy climate?!For sitting out there four times per year being cold and freezing?? Besides, I am always astonished of the low building standards in England still! Most of you buy rubbish for meanwhile too much money! But then, you are so used to all of this and don’t really know much better and believe it’s just lovely….

[@vanessaruiz4705]

yeah, they should have gone for the one with the great conservatory because that conservatory is the closest they are gonna get to being outside for most of the year.
