Oof, Matt was doing my head in! Being 15 min away from your parents is no great crisis, he just needed to grow up and accept that his wife and child should be a higher priority than the question of 5 miles. Glad he came around!

I always do what my wife wants. Her happiness is my main focus. Everything else is secondary. Happy wife happy life.

I can't believe the couple returning from Australia wants the same type of house in the UK. Yes, I'm in Australia and even I know that it isn't usually possible.

The couple with 3 children should have bought the house, it was perfectly livable as it was

@danielle2661

Жыл бұрын

I agree. I always wonder where couples who don't find a house on the show, specifically those that pull out of deals, end up. Do they find better homes in the locations they want? Do they end up in nice homes but in different areas than they looked on the show? There's so many possibilities, but usually (not including 2008-2010) the housing market only goes up, up, up. During several episodes they talk about couples being able to afford less house than when they started because they have been looking for so long and prices kept going up. With this couple in particular, I just feel like they just had to have all their renos done immediately and couldn't afford to. As you said, the house was perfectly located and definitely livable. You can't do some work now, some work 2 years from now, some work 5 years from now, etc.? It's so silly.

@alpal6300

Yes, they could have waited and saved up and done their reno later.

I think I might have suggested to Matt that they could live in the first house they bought, where Jody wanted to be, until they’d saved enough more to sell and move to Poole. Admittedly, that might take several years, during which time he’d grow to love where they were!

Much enjoyed watching another Kerstie and Phil house hunt episode. Keep them going.

I went on an English language course to Bournemouth, and that bus stop in the town centre hasn't changed since then. I'll take my kids there to visit, using the National Express

I wouldn’t be the least surprised if they are separated by now! He’s a piece of work and should move in with his mum and dad and set her free to find someone who appreciates her!

Bournemouth & Poole are all merged together & basically are the same place! Matt needs a reality check, he must be a tough cookie to live with! 🙈

Oh that last house for Jodie and Matt in Southbourne is just so amazing, so much potential! Even for today's standards

Having just started this show, Matt is too immature. He obviously has not learned the one true rule of being married. Happy wife, happy life. It's that simple. He can't get too far away from mum? Poor baby..... when I was 22 I got 5000 miles away from my family and lived in the U.K. for 27 months. Then 1200 miles in the other direction, past my family home for 3 years then 1 year in another country and 6 months in still yet a different country and I haven't stopped traveling yet. When family wants to see me I fly them to where I am living. I am not well to do but I am able to travel and am thinking about returning to the U.K. again and living in Edinburgh for a while. Love this show. Oh by the I am an American.

I love "Our Lady Of The Sledgehammer". I love the houses shown to the Australian couple. Personally, looking at an old house that has been made open plan, I think about where walls need to be reinstated. Open plan drives my nuts. I hate it.

This is better than q previous Rosie where they were looking for houses in Aberdeen. In that one, the husband was determined to have a rural house while he went off to work all day and left his wife stranded at home with 3 kids . She wanted a house closer to the village and set on the village green. Lots of people around and kids to play with. The husband got his way like a spoiled child

Omg i just saw kitchen wallpaper from my childhood home! First house viewed by the couple with the baby. 1980?!

I liked EVERY house these two couples viewed, especially the large corner property that was swimming in surrounding LAND and even Matt's tiny one in Bournemouth which had room for future development.

Great one Kirsty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚❤️🥰🤗

Why does Mat need to be near his Mummy?!! What a jerk. He should grow up and stop being so selfish. Mummy's boy and by the sounds of it has always got his own way. His wife will be in the house all day and if his parents are anything like him then she probably wants nothing to do with her in-laws either. I'd be surprised if they are still together.

sounds like this new mom is either in post-partum depression and/or is terrified by the idea of being stuck at home and giving up her pre-mom freedom. Hubby will be leaving the house and going out into the world, she's be "stuck at home".
