Looks to me like there is a hand-sketched portrait of Morten Harket in the dining room of the 4th house... this might be the coolest thing I've seen on this show and I already adore LLL ;)
I actually found my condo on the Internet I new immediately that I wanted it. I just went to see it just to make sure everything was as it seemed. There were five offers/two were cash. I wrote a personalized letter and I offered and I got it..
Yes, I take Kirstie's point, but I looked at a lot of flats to rent and could tell they felt wrong... Until I saw one with huge south-facing windows and knew it had the light brightness that I crave. I worked out where it was located from clues in the photos and walked over to look at the building. Then scheduled a viewing and while there are things I really do not like, I had "the feeling" while viewing online and knew it was the one and only that I wanted to view. I think that buyers with imagination and ability to read the photos can tell from online viewing if they can make a place work or not. I know other people who can't seem to rule in or rule out properties online, but I can.
Phil's house 1 is everything I need and want. I would have been making an offer on the spot! I love that it has both casual and formal zones. I love hosting "little dinners" that are 5 or 6 courses, and up to a dozen people. I certainly do not want them in my kitchen! House 4 for them has too many compromises. No parking is a big one, both for the motorhome and both cars. Being an on call vet, him having to dash out at what ever time means the car needs to be right there.
If you end up buying a house that you completely dismissed online, after deciding to see it in person; I can't think of a better hint from P & K to always look in person!
for the couple with a camper, they could pay to park it off property and that would open up their search a lot. It's a shame to have that need limit them in such an already tight market
I have watched L/L/L for a couple decades.... love the feel of the show but there's no deal if either party can just back out at the last minute....In North America...offers are in writing and the agreed sale is signed by both parties and they are locked in....to get out would cost 10's of thousands at best.... as it should be !
Presumably all the legal paperwork is available right at the start in the US? It's all the work by solicitors that take months in the UK. It's usual for a house purchase to take 3-4 months minimum. I heard that realtors in the US do everything. In the UK, estate agents only show the house and forward offers essentially. Once an offer is accepted, it's all in the hands of solicitors.
Yes. In most cases in the US if you have your monies in order (most home buyers do as it’s required or upon making an offer) you can view a home one day and be living in it 30 days later.
I moved miles away from where I was living, so a lot of research was done online. That said, the decor was so awful (online and in person) we had to look to at the bones of the house and its location....and that's what prompted us to buy it. Online provided me with at ,east an idea as to what I wanted....and what I didn't.
Are only upmarket areas used in this series? In every episode Phil or Kirsty says " the prices have rocketed in this city" Which cities, which areas have the prices not soared? Which areas are not very difficult to find properties for the clients?
Either Lee is the walking incarnation of cautious or none of the houses was really right and they felt some kind of pressure to end by buying. I found it strange that they seemed lukewarm about the first house but then as time went on, talked as if they really loved it.
The house that Emma and Lee were shown first was in Barry...and so was their last one...Phil said it would give them everything they wanted, if they could get over the location...well how big is Barry, where they had no issues about house 1 but when the last house was also in Barry the location was unsettling them? And house 4 was a lot nicer, with a gorgeous view...why didn't they just go back and put an offer in on house 4, since they both thought it was gorgeous...and in the SAME city (town) and the house they offered on and then backed out of?
They pulled out because of a new development (!?) so what! That's the way the world works = new places happen! I really suspect, they just keep getting cold feet.
ALL the houses shown here are WAY too small for me ... Most British homes I have seen are not very curbside appealing from an American standard . Landscaped front yards or tree lined streets seem to be rare . The houses, looking from the streets, are hard surface... meets hard surface ... meets hard surface
When the couples were first introduced, I thought that Lee looked old enough to be Emma's father ...and it didn't change as the program went on...he looks so much older than she does
This is a program about buying housing not what couples look like. I think you are very disrespectful and as the old adage goes if you can’t say something nice say nothing at all.
@@carolcalf2032 So if a man is older than his wife it's disrespectful and not nice to notice that? The comment was a simple remark, not a criticism. Not being mean. Just stating a fact. Maybe they are the same age and she just is very youthful looking. Oh, was that disrespectful to notice?
I could watch this show all day.
I want the that brick Victorian with views of the water
Yes! I thought they were nuts to choose anything else!
Me too! I have no idea what they were thinking.
Agree. I loved that one.
Absolute madness!!! That house was beautiful
Britain is blessed with these beautiful homes.
Wish both couples the best of luck.
whatttt a heartbreak for the couple at the end!
I always enjoy the show!! Thanks for posting!!
Isnt it great that when you see something which might be ok, but isn't quite, seeing other things can help you decide that actually it is great.
wow the third option for the pregnant couple is exactly my dream, the built in cute feature are beautiful!

For both couples, immediately I saw the 1st properties, I knew they would be hard to beat. I would go for them as well compared to the others.
Great episode!

Yes, of course mainly Phil lol you guys are awesome thank you
Bless em, for both couples the 1st properties were living rent free in their heads for the whole program 😅
These gorgeous vistas are so inviting- thank you for posting more shows ❤
soooo surprised with each couple's choice
Thanks ❤
I understand why Lee and Emma ultimately backed out, but I *loved* that house they were going to buy.
# 1 also had a sloped garden
Thank you :)
Blue Anchor!!!! 🙂
I’m going to end up buying the pink John Lewis jumper at this point
🤣That ad came up half a dozen times as I was watching! I do like pink, but...

everyone seems to want to walk into a finished property that someone else renovated. good luck with that.
Oh that couple doesn't have luck on their side 😳
They seem very anxious. The issue may not be the house...
the house has to accomadate my camper van. how often do you use the bloody thing? it is inanimate pay for parking elsewhere. gawd pple!
Oh my u do t get everything,get it
❤ ❤❤😊😊😊

32 minutes in and 9, yes, 9 adverts. More ads than video. UA-cam IS DISGUSTING,

They way the wife held his hand when they met Kristie says something. Especially when her husband made that comment about her. Hahaha
i would't want her as a nurse
Good because no one would want you as a patient! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@thehungrygoldfish Agreed.
Why? She seems like a pleasant person. What can you possibly discern about her nursing skills from this show? Baffling comment.
What a difficult pair Lee and Emma are....there s always that 'just little bit' missing for them....very boring....
They are not realistic, given their budget.
