Most sellers ask for a higher price than the property is worth to allow room for negotiation and a selling price closer to the property's actual worth.

Proud of this great, cool Edinburgh man with his head screwed on. You're doing us proud down there. xx

I'm absolutely obsessed with this show! I'm in the states, specifically a very rural area in Ohio. It's the exact opposite of London. The prices of the flats seem like quite a lot to me BUT I acknowledge it's an entirely different world being an urban world center. Very few want to live where I live so the market is extremely different yet the steps are exactly the same.

Hello to rural Ohio from rural Norfolk, UK. I love your state. My brother married an American girl and they live in Warren. I’ve visited many times over the last 9 years. Love the countryside and all of the people I’ve met. My brother and SIL have just bought their first house together and you’re quite right about the difference. They have a beautiful home and the price paid was less than a deposit on a flat in lots of UK cities not just London. Wishing you well😊

I live in Nowhere (but almost heaven) West Virginia and also love this show. Its hosts absolutely "make it" for me, and I love seeing and learning about the regions of the UK and how Pip and Kirstles guide and teach their clients. I was actually first aware of Kirstie's sister, Sofie Allsopp, years ago and her "Unsellables" in Canada (and kind of oddly) South Carolina/Georgia, and then discovered Sofie's UK series! Just as lovely (inside and out) and talented in a different approach.

Think about places like NYC that is equally popular and expensive.

I like the flat Davy bought in a good location, but if I was Rajiv & Nisha, I would’ve chosen either the first or second flat. Even though the first flat needs some cosmetic, it’s really nice. The second flat is in a really convenient location - it’s a tricky one 🤔

My impression is the couple with a baby expected house prices would soon decrease. The reality of housing costs since 2014 has proven to be quite a blow.

Always under offer. You can come up if pushed but most guess how much to ask before property’s go on the market. They’d do it where they’re buying next no matter how much they get...ad infinitum.

If only all parents cared that much about education! Yes, things certain can/do change, but keep your eyes on the schools

@annetoronto5474

9 ай бұрын

The schools are only as good as the students, once you get enough students who’s parents don’t care about education, homework, discipline the good teachers will leave, and pretty soon the property prices will drop. In the US the Democrats want to build apartments and low income housing in suburban neighborhoods which are only single detached homes which then will change the demographics, bringing in single mothers who won’t care as much about their children and education, causing standardized testing scores to drop. In fact the Democrats also want to stop having standardized testing in schools so that parents don’t know how bad the education is.

If the seller was shopping for a new home in a hot market as well and is seeing everything going up in price, asking for another 75K makes sense. The houses in Canada are priced under to hopefully create a bidding war, even if you were to offer asking price, the seller just holds out for more money. Houses were selling over asking price by 100K +++ but now the interest rates are too high to throw money around like that.

I have a question about the flat for Davey a 15 minute bike ride from Paddington: is the bathroom on a floor all by itself? No bedroom up there?

I'll bet any single women in Davy's future neighborhood were hanging out hoping to bump into him - or their mums were pushing them to do so. Sensible, good-looking, good job... and single? Probably a lot of viewers less interested in the flats than the guy buying one.

I think a 2-bedroom flat was a great choice for Davy. Put a sleeper sofa in one of the bedrooms, and use it as a den/TV room and for guests when necessary. It would make the kitchen a real spacious kitchen/diner that way. I’m glad he got it because it’s location was the best for him.

I'm an American who, in my 20s, lived in London for a year at a time in 1980, 1982, and 1984. I love watching episodes of this long-running series but can't finish watching this one (this episode is from 2014?). So sad. The last time I spent time in London was 2013 when I decided to never visit that city I once loved so much again. (It's horrifying seeing all those old council estates turned into super expensive privately owned flats. It's no accident that the professional class now condemns the working class as "right wing racists" - when you dispossess such a significant percentage of a population, the dispossessed necessarily become "the enemy." True in the US and true in the UK.)

Couple with kids, thank god it fell through living room 7’ wide no place for kids to play

HAPPY TEARS GOOD LUCK

Would like to know service charges

What I don't understand is that if the buyer has carefully considered primary needs when buying a large home, then why should the agency's vision be imposed on the buyer?! Besides, 4 years flies by fast! It would be interesting to giving birth to a child in such a way that "oh, we only planning for a few years, because the future is not certain...!"! It would be quite irresponsible to raise a child like this.

I wish they talked about what was wrong with the flat they were in.

Service charges .?

First house has a postage stamp garden.

This was 2014. It costs a lot more now. The Indian couple should come further out eg to zone 5 with lots of good private schools and use the money they save on a cheaper property to pay for a fee paying school, which lots of Indians in London do.

school proximity is not criterionfor purchasing a property unless the plan is to sell it in 5 years
