[@itspatrickwayne]

Feel like a big family should buy both of the houses because of how close they are together.

[@maxinelakins]

I live in Earlswood these new builds are 15 feet from a main road, shared drive way one way in and one out what happens when you have guests, although well designed they went up really quick

[@nathsharman4064]

Yes agree shared driveway/ entrance on a home at that price must be a difficult sell.

[@dougchinn2820]

Pick the smaller home, and use the cost savings to add a detached two car garage/workspace. One car garage is not enough.

[@mufc7476]

Practical thinking but depends on circumstances. My house is bigger than both but I don't drive so the extra garage space wasted on me.

[@peterlloyd6337]

Very nice houses - very tasteful, excellent finishing but the only thing at this price point not acceptable personally is a single garage - should be double garage at this price point.

[@nathsharman4064]

For sure! Should of had a detached garage with 3 car capacity at that price for me

[@michaelh5722]

Negative for me is the materials are the same in both homes, as well as the low ground floor ceilings.

[@jameshhjr]

I like the smaller home of the two. Wall and paint colors make the home seem more spacious, even though it is smaller.

[@eror6701]

neither house is worth 1 million, 800k seems like a fair price

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

30 seconds in and I can tell you neither of these is worth more than 850k.

[@AminTheMystic]

House that size on park avenue is around mill to mill 250. This is brand new. You are not gonna get it for 850k.

[@bh-777]

The ceiling is so low that the presenter won't be able to live in this house comfortably

[@MasterOfNoneHandyman]

100%

[@venom5809]

Factually speaking, they are worth what someone is willing to pay for it. LOL

[@sueuj]

Thats true fr ​@@venom5809

[@mrmuds8624]

This day and age, any new build should have solar panels by default.

[@F4masmr]

I agree 👍🏽

[@ellenwilikens4700]

I personally prefer the smaller one. It's cosier, I prefer the layout, especially of the ground floor. The colour palette is also much nicer as opposed to house 1. And then there's also the price difference. House 1 does not have any attractive qualities that would interest me in buying the house.

[@rubenvalladares3]

This is difficult (sigh)... 😕 I want to choose one of both but... both homes are great. Ithink I'm going with the first option because the space and I'm still not quite sure because the second option has a great space too, even though the second one is less bigger then option one. In terms of design both homes are amazing and I really like the homes of that developer. But still I'm going with the first one.

[@Randysocal]

I am not sure of the presenter's height but he barely makes it through the doorways and the ceiling heights look like they are probably 8 feet. Most US new houses have at least a 10 foot ceiling height which makes even smaller rooms seem much more spacious. For the price, a two car garage would seem to be expected.

[@elizabethargyll4720]

I prefer the cheaper of the two houses. I'm not keen on the black fancy bits in House 1 - the black would show the dust. lol

[@Samuels691]

Matt always giving amazing tours! Lovely home!

[@TheLuxuryHomeShow]

Thank you!

[@jumoke-2503]

Lovely homes, prefer the second, more cosy and the neutral colour is lovely. Lovely presentation, we look forward to your new videos! We missed Summer on this though!

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

Beautiful! Love the moldings and the attention to detail. Very cool option to include the furniture.

[@Havana-man]

For that money, I would expect attention to detail.

[@DencyHope-io6lm]

I like it when one looks from the outside you can't imagine the inside being so modern It's a wonderful house

[@chinyereapakama298]

Thanks very much for another new build and fab video. I always use Matt and Tom's height to measure these buildings. Today's home should have been built with an additional 2 feet in height. Everything else is quite solid. Thanks everyone. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@nicolehemmings874]

Liked the second home you toured. Very nice

[@nathsharman4064]

Only seconds in and already thinking I’d rather pay more and have the entire plot of both houses and an increase in footage. If I was the developer I’m sure I would have done this though

[@BradThePitts]

The UK is world-famous for its gloomy and wet weather; I would think the garage space would be more generous, or at least an additional pergola.

[@jermainenelson974]

I like the entrance of the second one,and the kitchen is nicer in my opinion … I would buy the second one and save some money for my Maldives holiday 😊

[@Nind-yu4sz]

Great video, if I could it would be the Mulberry as my choice, the extra study /office is a must.

[@kristinnelson-patel442]

So many commenters here saying this isn’t getting much for the price. I’m sitting here in Boston thinking, “if only you could get such a nice place for that price here…”

[@andrewjones-productions]

If I'm spending that much, I would expect to have my own driveway entrance and not share it with my neighbour. I really don't like the way the grounds are shared. No thanks.

[@chrisdooney5374]

lovely houses

[@smgreenartsprivate]

Very nice homes the pair I like the paneling and colours used as well as art deco styles. The first home that freezer is something else. Interesting door/drawer pulls as well. I would have rathered have a fireplace in the kitchen though sitting area instead of the television. I think I remember those other homes. The fence out the back is missing some wood I think I would like privacy from neighbours as some have pets not sure I want to share my garden with them. Nice to see you Matt interesting enough I follow another freelance website designer who has his own renovation channel Life of Ryan from France. The decor of both homes is interesting but would have left out the giraffes but well designed homes no less.

[@venom5809]

Beautiful homes, very nicely finished.

[@loobylooroden6176]

For over a million i don't want to be able to see a neighbour from any window. No offence to neighbours just for that money i want more land.

[@MrKuhistani]

excellent presentation as always, looking forward for more...

[@bubandit06]

Lovely houses. The pricing is crazy, but those are both wonderful examples of new British design. I would prefer crittal doors downstairs instead of the thick white framed ones. Also preferred the larger staircase in Mulberry. This level of design should be the standard of homes across the board, if only. Hopefully the quality matches the aesthetic and they settle well in the first 10 years.

[@asammajeed56]

Can you share details of the developers, you mentioned HDD Developers, but I cannot find them on the net. I'm about to embark on a project to build a 500sqm project in Hertfordshire, any help would be great.

[@kennethparker9946]

I would opt for the second home and save the money. Both are incredible properties... I can always become friends with the neighbour if I wanted to hang out at the bigger one 😊

[@JAYJAY-lb7jz]

Excellent Presentation.

[@jackgibson4039]

I’ve watched you guys from the beginning and I find it so strange that you tour so many houses in the area I live in! 😄

[@chandlerbingbong]

You don't get much for your money these days.

[@jamesanthony3072]

I think most international visitors have heard of Birmingham these days and stating it is just outside Brum should be the best location indicator for most 👍🏼

[@jamietherooster]

but if you say the word Birmingham you automatically think of third world slum so that would reduce the price tag by a considerable amount

[@MrJimm3h]

Parts of Solihull look third world slum. He should really be saying this is earlswood, knowle, dorridge, lapworth etc.

[@vibhac5403]

​@@jamietherooster😅😅😅

[@1024sofia]

you're overestimating people.

[@Weak_Hand]

0:07 So British! Use all space available to make a profit! It just greedy! It's like putting bed, kitchen appliances, toilet and shower in one room, calling it studio flat! 😂 Nice lot but f#cked up with 2 houses (well designed, especially kitchen, but in such a boring two-color theme)... 👏👏👏

[@MalayaC-tn2rl]

agreed, it's definitely overpriced new build crap, lodged in together

[@debsn7772]

Maaannn, you don’t hold back do you..😂😂😂But you’re right👍

[@valou6668]

Totally agree on the colors

[@Jitterbug99]

The price is more indicative of the features and gadgets the houses come with if that’s what you’re going for, but they are very aesthetically pleasing and homely

[@wotrulke5868]

You are going to get on well with your neighbours, I prefer the 1st home just because of the design really but both are very nice 👍🏼 great video thanks for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@thelalanz73]

Interior decoration and lighting is very old fashioned. And for that money i'd want a double car garage minimum, my own gated driveway entrance and a pool. 2nd House fridge door bang wasn't thought through

[@lornamarie5544]

The interior looks are a little dated (are we still using grey, studs and mirrored furniture?) and seems a bit pricey for Solihull (do people want to live there?) but they are good looking houses.

[@pharoahkenun999]

Or obtain both for family to have there own privacy but still be a few feet away 😊❤❤

[@MarlonKingShow]

Would have liked to see floor plan. pricing seems a bit steep, might be area and upgrades and garden is nice size. Nice black n white theme in the house, modern sleek

[@user-td1gi2bt8t]

Stunning home wish I could buy it x

[@Sonibablaa]

Also no heated flooring for the price tag

[@JunningRojas]

I would personally prefer the first house, the open floor concept in that home seem more spacious and luxurious, and office space is crucial and the principal bedroom is much larger than the second home, the decor was tastefully done and I do prefer the blue in the kitchen

[@johnlabus7359]

For a 1.5M+, I wouldn't expect to share a driveway access or only have a small one car garage. In the first house, I also would have expected more storage in the kitchen. I've seen home tours that are half the price of these with more kitchen storage. Honestly I was expecting that the adjacent utility room would have more storage to supplement the kitchen, but it too was very small. I really liked the wardrobe area in bedroom 3. That was a clever space. The family bathroom was also nice. I found it odd that the principal suite didn't have any built-in wardrobes. Yes the room is large, but you still have to put in your wardrobes. That was a bit deceiving. For house 2, I have the same disappointment with the kitchen storage. I like bedroom 2 with its higher ceiling and abundant integrated storage. For the principal suite, I liked the high ceiling again but I also think that the wardrobes aren't as elegantly integrated. They look really clumsy. Save for the few higher ceiling rooms, most of the doors and ceilings feel low, or is Matt just extra, extra tall? Lastly, the way the back garden is separated feels cheap. For that price, I'd hope to see a taller brick wall separating the two sides.

[@kidMclean]

Take the cheaper one so you can afford the under floor heating costs 😅

[@enlilw-l2]

Underfloor heating isn't more expensive, heat pump source of power generally in new builds

[@mariajensen4538]

Love the second one, beautiful

[@alisonredaif5839]

Fantastic houses, I prefer the second house as the kitchen could be made bigger into a lovely kitchen dining room.

[@pharoahkenun999]

Can one have both & attach them to make a super,super home just asking 😊❤❤

[@fergiie.]

This reminds me of the 3.5 million renovated home that u guys show not to long ago with the private drive. And u showed the 2 houses side by side

[@ChickenSweetcornSoup]

Imagine paying all that money and then you hate your neighbour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@saabturbo4596]

Lovely homes

[@MirandaMccabe-ie4sm]

nice house i love the combination of black and white

[@rainyd4293]

At least most of the en-suites have a window.

[@DB-qw6xq]

For a 1.5 million house in Birmingham I'd want an indoor pool with sauna and steam room!

[@pilarona68]

Me gusta la primera casa pero con los materiales y decoración de la segunda.

[@franciscosta72]

The second house with lighter colors is great and the price is better.

[@kasaucyyyyyyy5841]

From the way this is priced i can tell we are headed to a housing bust. These houses are at most worth £350-500k, the fact they are worth more than a £1 million is diabolically outrageous

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love

[@ladykaylap]

Both are beautiful 😍

[@debsn7772]

Matt and Summer,,,,,,you guys are too cute. Beautiful couple and of course you are brilliant at what you do, so humble.💞😀

[@davidmorvan984]

wonderful

[@carlsmith744]

Styled well, but those ceilings seem low...

[@mimib95]

I thought the colour setting had failed on my iPad but no, it really was black and white . I prefer my modest 3 bed 1930s semi in Yorkshire.

[@Mr_Kenneth]

I do prefer the more country look of the £1.5 home. The biggest issue is a single garage. At the price point and being aimed at a family, a double or triple garage are the minimal requirement.

[@peepo9411]

Nerve to say “prestigious area” 🤣🤣

[@jeannie2291]

Great tour Matt and well built homes, but not sure they're worth the £1.5m mark, in terms of decor personally chrome and mirrored furniture is very dated! If i had to pick i'd go for the 1st house.

[@74aamer]

What about both

[@0M0S01A]

The home with the lesser footprint is my pick. The one car i will pick is a Porsche and a Range rover Parked outside

[@simonhobbs9097]

Why would you have a post and rail fence in the rear garden, hardly private…

[@shafiqmustafa2777]

from the outside I prefer the smaller house however from the inside I prefer the black-and-white look and the interior on the bigger house.

[@WendyHolsinger-1978]

If I had the money, I would buy both homes and somehow combine them into one big home with two kitchens and a big yard but that's just me.

[@jonbarad1]

Ceiling heights too low

[@F4masmr]

Love it but it's big for me

[@eshydafishy8947]

Can we see more homes in Manchester if possible.

[@mikemushipe6023]

How tall is Matt? The ceiling looks very low

[@patricksmith3432]

I'd expect high ceilings and more for 1 point 5 Million

[@maxwelts873]

if they gate breaks whose responsibility is it to

[@Spica1000]

For the price of the bigger house I’d have thought it would at least have come with a double garage

[@yvonnemaryastill4399]

….is there a downstairs bathroom/WC? Also - Are the homes sold fully furnished?

[@shafiqmustafa2777]

Can anyone name the two sofas in the bigger house in the front guest lounge?

[@mohichoudhury9394]

The integrated fridge freezer in the first house does not fit its housing hence the visible gap at the top of the fridge once the fridge door is opened....not great at this price point. ☹

[@soapyvanshoey3179]

There are so many things wrong with this property shared driveway low ceilings, the garage should be at least 3 car whats going on with the plastered bathroom ceilings just ripe to get dampness and theres no fence weres the slats and how close this property is too the other house for £1.45m i would expect a house on its own weres your garden privacy

[@rich7447]

One garage bay in a house that is over 1.4M GBP is just wrong. The bay doesn't even look big enough for the type of vehicle a buyer with the kind of money to buy this thing might want.

[@myrahouse2368]

I prefer the second one… but like the black banister and doors in the first one.

[@titaniumffclub9122]

Okay Dear second one is yours.🤗

[@myrahouse2368]

@@titaniumffclub9122I’ve already got it 😁

[@MSayeed]

Am I the only one that hates open plan kitchens with a living space?

[@andrewlally605]

I prefer symmetry of front of first house and it's the end of the cul de sac so more privacy, whereas you have to pass the second house to get to first house. But I prefer the wrap around stairs in second and the bedrooms. There should be verandas at the back and the garden of first is overshadowed by leylandii trees. There's no hedge or dividing wall between the two for privacy, so youre sharing a driveway and backgarden. It s a big ask for 1.5 million. The colour scheme is awful. Out go the boring greys blacks whites everywhere and in comes colour, so there's an additional spend.

[@dt3367]

The fact that you have to keep ducking btw doorways explains whether they are worth the buy

[@paulwise6069]

Nice bedroom in the first house shame about radiator

[@lawrencer25]

You get loads out of London 🎉

[@VikramSingh-wb5rq]

Highly inflated. Semi detached, sharing of entrance gate with a neighbour, only four bedrooms. And its still Birmingham postcode, 😅. Next door in Coventry in a highly desirable area of Memorial Park along Warwick road this much money will buy you a mansion, with swimming pool, detached, your own road from the main road leading to your mansion and near to all the best towns of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Stratford upon Avon. Also nearer to London to commute than Solihull which is further north. Only thing positive is Solihull is extremely desirable area and one of the only top 10 most expensive areas outside of London and will have HS2 station built in the town which will make the prices go crazy even more as all the CEO’s working in London will live in Solihull as it will be within an hour to London. All experts have agreed that Solihull will have unprecedented economic growth with HS2 station built in there. But note me personally its highly inflated area, there are much more beautiful areas in Warwickshire which is next door with lots of land and in my opinion posher than Solihull.

[@PoundlandPELE_007]

Looks like they built 2 expensive houses where they should have built only 1. Or cram 3 4 bed detached and a pair of semi’s for £3-400k each.

[@andystreet1479]

would buy the larger property only with a double garage Solihull is very overpriced and those massive trees need cutting down and for that price I would have expected to see landscaped gardens

[@WildWest144]

Why are ceiling heights in the UK so low? That's just crazy man.

[@speedtrls]

I did sort of think, I wonder how tall this guy is- to get a sense of the ceilings downstairs.

[@raymondkelly3181]

Standard heights are 2.4m. It does look weirdly low though🤔

[@reason9399]

Someone added their bit on top?

[@juliesadd9981]

I’m I the only one who would love to have the washer and dryer upstairs if I had money to build my own house I would defo put them upstairs I don’t like the toilet like that as I’m a very large lady and I would be so scared they would fall I do like the houses but I don’t like how the garden is
