Glad for the couples though I think the wealthy couple was mad not to go for the stunning bungalow within walking distance for their son. There seemed to be a ton of room for their family just as it was, and with saving 600,000+ pounds maybe they could enjoy life a little more and not work so hard. Sometimes with these shows I shake my head about what we "need" in a house. It was telling that the young couple was totally fine with airport and train, but the birds were a bit annoying for the wealthy fellow. I don't know about anyone else, but my hubby and I reminisce with great joy about our first humble home. More isn't necessarily happier. Cheers everyone.

I’m completely in disbelief. If the 1.3 was buying something absolutely stunning that would make a difference but knowing you can afford 1.4 and only having to spend 750 plus some refurbishment or building work, the total would be way under the 1.3. Some people are impossible to read.

The thought that kept running through my mind is.... with 3 young kids, don't they drown out any other noise? 🙃

I live in the heartland/midwest of the US. I so absolutely love your show, and have watched everything available to watch. What a great pair of realtors. Bringing people joy one house at a time 😊

Thanks for the quality download.

Watched again and am SO GRATEFUL for these episodes! THANK YOU! I absolutely LOVE this show. It makes my day!

I'm always amazed and irritated by people with a budget over $800K who are so picky! The occasional car and a road that one can barely hear (first house), or (bungalow) the plot being "too small" in an amazingly Large plot, the rooms "too small" that are actually quite large as well. Money just seems to make people into entitled jerks. Contrast them to the first time buyers: not only road noise, but trucks, airplanes, dogs barking....none of that even fazed them. All they want is decent parking and an extra room for an office. Yes, I've worked in RE and it's the same everywhere. Give me humble first-time buyers!

A couple spending over a million dollars is most likely going to live in the house much longer than a couple spending 200k though. If I’m spending they much, I want to get as much as possible because I do not want to move anytime soon.

The last property the wealthier couple looked at was gorgeous! I don't know how much room they think they need, but there's no way they're looking at their forever house and that slipped out when he wondered what the cap on the street value was. They're designers and investors; they'll be in this house 5 years max.

That one couple didn’t want rustling trees, singing birds, well, I have a great place for them smack in the middle of the Sahara Desert! No trees, no birds, no life for miles! Lol

The rooms were not as big as the 70's house, and I loved it's feeling of space.

In the end, the Interior designer and creative director didn't go for what they claimed they wanted, a "project property .... to let their creativity run wild" ..... "a large house and great plot but needs a lot of love" ..... but went for the safe and boring option ...... WOW! So much about wanting to put their own mark" on their "forever home"

1.3 for that junk house that will cost a bundle to make into something decent - every door and window to be changed, entire rear facade - just in time for the crash

They can do all of that over time though. They don’t have to do everything all at once. If they had bought that bungalow, they would’ve had to do all that and even more. They would have to add a second floor ffs. They don’t have to do any extensions in the second house. It’s all cosmetic.

I suspect it will be great with just a face lift, and amazing with a full reno. Not junky, just dated. Since they are designers, perhaps they'll get some professional courtesy deals!

The 70's house..looks...to be easy enough to Update & liked the size. That BIG Lvg. Rm!! What I grew up in..THAT would have been a Mansion to me! I could Even live with that kitchen. (I lived in a 70's Ranch Style house for bout 4 years, dark paneling on the bottom half of the walls, wallpaper in the dining room..Not Enough plug outlets..lol. Nice back yard, covered patio w/porch swing...we liked it). And the one level Bungalow….so it's off a street, with THAT BACK YARD! WHOOO'S gonna be out front anyway!?? Nice back yard w/a Nice game rm/studio/or convert into small guest house.

Unbelievable how (some of) the viewers get (really) peed off when the "punters" don't opt for the house they, the viewers would choose for themselves. We only get to see a smidge of their lives, perspectives and choices here.

No safety fence around the pool is very strange.

It’s a long term family home though. If they live in it for 20 plus’s years, then it doesn’t really matter and the value will maintain over time. It’s not going to go down in value over the course of 20 plus years.

The market is bonkers, how can the prices have increased by 23% in a single year? That is surely an unsustainable, bubble waiting to happen.

oooooh, as a nurse working at night, I would not consider that little house with the parking so far away. Nope. I think I could learn to live with the external noises...but a walk of that distance in the dark...when Phil said, well, you can "see" the parking spot..not dedicated, so who knows if when she comes home late there will be a spot for her. Haven't seen the ending, so I am waiting to see what they choose...

geez, how big of a house do this couple need?

People who have more than a million pounds to spend on a house always think they can get more than what's on the market. They feel entitled and hardly ever take one these houses. Instead, they use Phil and Kirsty to learn the market. Then, they dump them and go out and find a house on their own. In short, most of them are players.

But that’s not what happened here. And I know of at least three other million dollar plus searches that ended up with a house that was shown on the show. Also keep in mind that most of these searches are looking for long term houses so they’re pickier.

It must be complicated to co-own a house with a partner who is not a spouse. Legally, they are roommates. If one dies without a will, the other will suddenly share ownership with the decedent's parents!

So, both couples got the home they wanted - and would not have, had it not for Kirstie & Phil.

(16: 08)... 'new money' décor. (No taste).

What happened to the people spending ,more money ?

1.4 million? Just buy some fucking land and build a five bedroom house.
