I love when Kirstie says "she's more shocked by the red socks (that are on Phil's feet)." I love watching the recent and older episodes of Kirstie and Phil :) !!!

Coming from Manchester myself - that couple who are adamant about a house in Didsbury highlights one of the major problems with many young people today. They seem to want to aim for the top, even if it means potentially putting themselves in financial trouble later down the line. Now in July 2023 with interest rates being what they are people will understand where I’m coming from. What has happened to the days where you started modestly, and worked your way up……I did 5 moves before I bought my final house.

The problem with Manchester are the people, too many scruffy people from low social economic background. The whole place is rundown

This is so far a favourite episode. Non fussy couples and chess moves in negotiations. Would love to see a follow up of how they renovated the houses

I am bowled over that the gorgeous Prestwick house was rejected. Bowled over. But différent people want différent things. The house Catherine and Andrew picked was the best they were shown. Personally, I would have left it as it was, not being a fan of big open plan living spaces; I like the intimacy of separate rooms.

Love that Edwardian home with the gorgeous stained glass windows.

Two lovely devoted couples. Stay true.

This show makes me happy! Lol

Cool places. Adorable doggy in one of the final scenes.

The camera work in this series is brilliant, everything looks beautiful.

Lovely episode and the couples know what they are looking for. I just dont understand why they sit on someone's bed! A chair, a sofa but not a bed.

I agree. You’re not buying the furniture, so why are you “testing” it out? If you were the home owner and saw that, how would you feel?

thank you for posting this show... another good one!

thats really cheeky: offered vendor 231 to outbid the other party the vendor was loyal to. when vendor met couple he kindly reduced the price, when he didnt have to. NOW the couple are expecting a further reduction in price... if i was the vendor i would kill the deal, theyve got a nerve expecting for a second reduction in price... they see an opportunity "to take advantage" of an overly kind person.

This comment is a bit unfair. The party the vendor was loyal to put in a lower offer as well - who knows it may have been low for the exact same reasons, i.e. the issues pointed out in the survey. There's no taking advantage of anyone - you offer what the house is worth and maybe the vendor should have disclosed the issues before accepting the offers, knowing they'd have to re-negotiate?

That townhouse @ 25:00 was absolutely beautiful and had everything you need - garage, off road parking 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms!!! Wish I could buy that now lol

I really enjoyed these lovely couples journey. How heartwarming

Claude and Sarah what a terrible situation to be in. However, I'm so pleased they got it in the end.

Second time watching. I love this one. Lots of humour, super sweet couples, great outcomes all round.

Excellent video and lovely couples.

Glad Phil corrected the Didsbury is ‘up and coming’ to ‘up and come’!!!

Kirsty said the house was in "very good order". The vendor was under no obligation to reduce the price, but did so as a very kind gesture after meeting them [being a kind person, showing loyalty to first buyer as not wanting to cause disappointment]... I Think they now see the vendor as a soft target, it is definitely another try on... when people want to exploit for whatever reason, they harden their attitude to justify their action: amazing how quickly revert from gratitude at displacing the first buyer, and having an unexpected $1750 knocked off the price, to now expecting more [with a non-explanatory "needs work" excuse]. This is why we have agents, some people are just too nice and are easily pushed around, espec the vulnerable elderly. Its a shame the vendor opened a pandoras box by offering to part refund, when no need to do so.

Love your vlogs! Your humor with both each other as well as all your clients is so fun to see. I’m hooked for the long run. Keep them coming❤.

more great results, Kirstie and Phil really deliver ... and such lovely young couples

that's why so many people in other parts of Europe build their own homes. It's mind boggling how much some of these dumps go for. We spent two years looking for a house outside of London. It's a nightmare. You would think one of the richest countries in the world would have much better living standards.

I get the issue of safety when exploring a new area. Especially since the girl is a runner and will run by herself through wooded areas. It’s hard for men to understand that fear.

Absolutely LOVE this ❤

Catherine is absolutely beautiful! Not familiar with this city so it’s great to see different parts of England!

I enjoyed this episode thank you for uploading 😁

(26:22) I SO agree with this young man! It is a poor example of modern and... what did she say? "Shabby"!

Love this show.

I wonder if it would have helped if they went and met the sellers

I will take that as a warning and semi in a heartbeat! Just beautiful!

Your walk in closets are often bigger than some of our bedrooms. I was blown away by US sizes but UK living is always more size limited

Seriously- I’ve stayed with friends in different states around the USA those houses are like dolls houses- not every one lives in large houses, nor is everyone property obsessed- a large house doesn’t guarantee happiness. I sold my three story, five bedroom, 3 living room house and purchased a small two bedroom cottage, living off the grid in the bush (forest) l am the happiest l have ever been.

Love your show. I particularly love your shoes Kristy and the red socks were a fashion statement Phil!

I had all my insides removed 15 years ago,so I totally understand and agree with you .I'm now not on any meds and have been so much happier well done bee ,please do not feel guilty as you could not help yourself live every day with smiles .you are not alone .xx

Curve ball for Sarah and Claude😳

I can understand a vendor wanting to sell to people they have met and liked. When the day comes for me to sell my house, I will insist that I meet the potential buyers and make sure that they understand and appreciate the special features of the property.

As much as badly done modern properties are a turn off, at least the windows aren't pretending to be something they're NOT. I find myself grinding my teeth when I see those faux-diamond-shaped-leaded-glass-window-panes on houses built in the 1930s, '40s, etc. They would look to be perfectly in place in an Elizabethan cottage, but absolutely inappropriate on a house built in the 20th century. (One feels as if behind bars). THEN... we have the latest version: Faux-windowpanes, masquerading as sash windows. ENOUGH WITH THE FAUX!!! There is a LOT to be said for HONEST architecture. Stop TRYING to be something you are NOT. Be proud of what you are, in all your simplicity. (I know, I know...WHO am I talking to? ... the air).

Why, oh why do people put shutters on windows when it's obvious the are just stuck on. They wouldn't cover the window and they are obviously upside down!?

I'm finding it funny to hear people refer to outbuildings as "outhouses," as in North America an "outhouse" is an outdoor toilet without plumbing. This episode isn't the first time I've heard this... :D

🎉🎉

A lot of townhouses where i live in canada. I hate them ! Loads of stairs and a tiny garden . A flat (condo) is way nicer

The lovely Katherine looks exactly you like Demet Ozdemir...❤

Why not put an offer in for the house in Sale? Although its had an offer, you never know what happens. People cant get the funding, cant sell their present house etc etc......

The biggest question after this episode is did Kirsty manage to get her hands on those unwanted features 😂😂😂

Didsbury has always been expensive. If you have £500,000 thats fine. East Didsbury is full of TV people and West Didbury too expensive...

I lived in Manchester uk for 6 years, I thought it was a horrible place. It's surprisingly filthy and always grey and grim.
