- The country's choosiest home hunters are looking for just the right spot. They're also hoping hosts and real estate agents Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer will help them secure the right home in their desired area. Nevertheless, sometimes sacrifices are required and the customer isn't always satisfied.
Don't miss out on all the best moments from Kirsty and Phil by subscribing to the official 'Location, Location, Location' channel.
I adore how Kirstie and Phil coordinate their outfits. This time it's bright turquoise shirts.
Reality check for the lady is that partying is out of the question because a) the neighbours will be queuing up to complain and b) the couple will not be able to afford it when they have to cope with the cost of owning their own property
Kirstie, your hair is so pretty, you look younger 😊
I mean, seriously...Them wanting to party and to live in a flat...Good luck to the people living downstairs...;))
I am pretty sure the neighbours will put them straight soon enough
Kirsty knocks every wall down in every house!
Bit draughty if she did😂
Logical decision. These old houses are proven to have bad air circulations and flow.
Detached house was a no brainer! Are they that stupid? Capital appreciation potential was huge!
Location Location Location.
😂 😂 😂 I had forgotten there was a time when Phil had hair.
These prices 😭 I need a time machine
Exactly what I was thinking.
Put it into perspective - wages/salaries were lower too
The area is trashy tbf. New money coke heads who can’t afford Cornwall
@@sonaterese799 lol but by how much? ever notice how people in the same demographic have since been priced out of these areas now?
This must be Season 1
OMG! These picky younger couples expect to find exactly what they want in an “established! home and have no foresight to paint , add their own touches and fix the gardens up! DO THE WORK PEOPLE! It just blows my mind how they “expect” these homes to be perfect! If you want your idea of perfect...build your own home!
Renovations always end up taking more time and money than you think. If you find a perfectly nice move-in-ready house that you're satisfied with in the right location and price range, why not go for it?
That last property was bargain
Did anyone see that little mouse or vole run across the garden at 6:45?
Geez it drives me nuts when the Brits say, it’s not the area we know. You’d think they were talking miles and miles between houses. It’s usually just the distance between one side of town and the other.
I actually understand in a way. I've lived in the same district for 30 out of 32 years, and when I did have to move and looked at other districts, it felt like I would have been moving to the other side of the world, not the other side of the city (this from someone who literally lives on the other side of the world from where she grew up). But at the same time, you can LEARN a new area. The trick is exploring and asking yourself where your most-valued amenities are vis-a-vis your intended place. If you go to the gym and the nearest gym is half an hour from your work and half an other in the other direction from your home... not good. If your commute means you can't do shopping in the morning before work and there's nothing left in the shops after you get back from work - not good. If you're not familiar with the area, familiarize yourself. How close is a shop that's well-stocked when you're home so you can easily pop out for things you need before breakfast or after work or on weekends? If having a local is important, check out the local - if there is one - and if it seems like you'd like going there. Public transport, if you use it, dry-cleaners, day-care, schools - what are your everyday needs and how convenient are they to the place? I lived in a place where I could walk 10 minutes and reach two green-grocers, a butchers, a florist, three restaurants (which I didn't use), a pet shop, a garden shop, a clothing shop, a stationery shop, key-cutter, tailor, shoe-repair, post-office off-license, and it had very good transport, two parks within walking distance, a church, supermarket, delicatessen, newsagent's... I worked downstairs from where I lived, so no commute, and had all the amenities I needed most weeks of the year. I rarely had to go into the city center or to a shpping center for anything. Moved to the city center - just off the historic 'market square,' and found almost nothing for residents in the immediate area. It was great for a lot of reasons, but I had to use public transport to get to many of the things I could walk to within ten minutes of home in my previous place. Explore the area, and look at opening and closing times and just see if the area supports the kind of shopping and lifestyle you lead. If so, then take the plunge. It's a new neighborhood, not a new planet.
It's good location on the Cost 🇬🇧♥️
Love video
I was impressed when they said their finances were straight and had £100,000. But was that cash to buy outright or mortgage deposit? Very low if the latter...
Don't forget, this program is old
This is like 15 years old
Very old t.v. series - Kirstie looks like a she's fresh out of college
This was filmed when getting on the telly was a big deal. Look at them putting on posh accents!
You don't know that they aren't!
Golly, even 20 years ago, England stopped being Anglo Saxon.
Others can't live, and contribute, in England?! Her man likes it.
Even better, the racist Empire stopped being - period. Progress! After so many places being forcibly 'anglicized' against their will and human rights.
Why are they slitting houses into flats all over uk?
Hello. This is a real long shot but I’m hoping someone can remember this: I am searching for a Location, Location, Location episode featuring a couple looking to move to a place in the South. From memory it was a smallish village somewhere above Brighton (ish). I distinctly remember they were looking to move there as the schools were fantastic and Phil wholeheartedly agreed. Does anyone remember this episode and the name of the place they were looking to move to? Many thanks in advance of your help!
Would recommend using the BBC genome project. Hopefully you can find it by the keywords. Would love to hear back if you are successful 😀
They could call it: Calfation, Calfation,Calfation- because of Allsops's Legs..mabey
There gorgeous 😳😀
Alex stick to the lads.
How old is this?
what is the current price of the property?
A lot. Leigh has become more sought after and its a gorgeous part of the country. 3 bedroom house could easily go £350K+ (probably more, and dependent on condition, location, etc).
The place is incredible though, and within an hour of the City.
Circa 650k
The lady real estate agent kept pointing out all the negatives on the properties. Bet she doesn't ell many with that sales pitch.
🤦♀️ Chile, she's not the listing agent. Her clients are the ones buying a property, not the ones selling the houses. So obviously she's going to advise them towards a better deal and point out every single thing that could result in a reduction of the price, that's literally what a buyer's agent does. Honey, I'm 15yo and even I can understand that.
She is not an estate agent just a t.v. presenter - it is her job to point out negatives so that the buyers know what they are letting themselves in for
Never buy a leasehold.
@nova00boss You don't own the property but you pay to live there ... after so many years it reverts back to the original owner.
Most flats are leasehold.
@@shellc6743 ? You own the property, you dont own the land.
@nova00boss Leasehold: Unlike a freeholder, as a leaseholder you own the property BUT NOT the land on which it is built - that is owned by the freeholder. Ownership of your leasehold property is also for a set period, which can be a number of years, decades , depending on the length of your lease. At the end the property on the land belongs to the owner of the land.
Just wondering, I am assuming Kirstie and Phil are married? 🙄
Debby Kleynhans Yes. To other people, lol.
They've been a professional team since 2000
The main real estate subject aside, there’s a pretend on-screen platonic love affair between the two, that kept the show going for two decades.. I’m sure the presenters and producers are well aware of that.
@@MyCamilla1989 They genuinely like each other and have real brother-sister chemistry between them, but absolutely nothing more. They don't socialize with each other because they spend so much time together working and have their own spouses, families and social circles to keep them occupied. A man and a woman who genuinely LIKE each other and are confident enough in their own marriages to tease each other is sweet and innocent. They have very different styles, with her being more enthusiastic and encouraging people to take risks when she thinks they've got a good deal (some call it 'pushy', but she just knows her stuff) and he's more laid-back, always saying that it's totally up to the client and he never tries to 'sell' them. They are able to disagree respectfully, and keep disagreeing and keep really liking each other and respecting each other's skills. It's a beautiful relationship and more of us should find colleagues who respect us, rely on us, and bicker with us affectionately like a sibling, all the while ready to help you any time you need it. It's the GENUINENESS of their relationship and the fact that theres NO pretending that makes it so charming.
