I genuinely appreciate you being candid about money. I think it's important for us all to remove the stigma around money so that it can be less taboo and make others feel comfortable talking about it. I like to have a realistic idea of prices no matter the context. Keep up the good work. Your videos are a breath of fresh air and you stand out amongst others because of your honesty.
I enjoyed the Scottish food review! And seeing the houses. I liked the exterior of the first house, but my favorite "quirk" which I've never seen in the US, is stairs that go in two directions before you get to the first floor. I really liked the bathroom. Looking forward to next year's house hunting videos. (and Chad's crunching the chocolate!)
Fab guys! Back in the day I used to renovate houses in London. Was very lucky that my partner then was a very talented carpenter and his business partner was an electrician - I did the design element. Back then there were far more Granny style deceased estates (Death, Divorce, Debt) with original features (usually covered in layers of lead paint - Oh the memories). We did homes in Islington, Stoke Newington & Highbury and were so lucky to get started with a bank loan (as he was a professional tradesman) as opposed to a mortgage - repaid on our first sale. We lived in them (I fell through a ceiling once) as we worked. Agree that first house would look very pretty renovated but looked like an absolute money pit. The glimpses of the second looked good but as you know you never know until you start ripping things away - even if you get a good building report done. Great you are taking your time to see what's out there & as Chad says - the difference between renovating for profit or as somewhere to live is key. There are some cities like London with their own economy re. real estate. I'm in Sydney now - it's the same. International investors turn up at auctions with suitcases of cash! (auctions here are how most properties sell as they get very competitive high bids as demand is so great). Best of luck, thanks for the great content - lovely seeing London and totally agree on the chewing/slurping/nose blowing ick! Loved Ash's initial tentative diplomacy on the macaroni pie 🤣 deep fried Mars Bar maybe???
Loved the longer video and the chat at the end. Also really enjoy looking at the houses that you are viewing. So glad you are taking your time in your search you will find something really great 👍❤️
I really appreciate the money talk and although I’m not there yet I’m so happy for you and this is actually very inspiring. Getting my first little home in East London as well and just love this chat.
I do love the chats about money. I’m nowhere near your tax bracket and am currently unemployed but it’s always nice to hear money talk from people who have a healthy mindset towards it. It’s inspiring and it brings me hope that I too will find a way to a better life. ❤
Thank you! I’m really glad to hear you find the chats positive. You come across as very intelligent and thoughtful, and I have no doubt you’ll achieve great things. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!
Like many people I watch youtuber content because it initially seems like something I would be intetested in i.e house decor or renovations. However what keeps me as a subscriber is the authenticity and relatable nature of the people making the content. This is why I love this channel - its down to Ash and Chad and their journey. Love the eclectic mix of content and blether (nod to Chad's homeland!). Please don't change! ❤
I love love you both I really enjoy your chats and love how you both smile and laugh and so real and kind. You're my favorite couple, and I can't wait to see more videos!!!!!!
Ash and Chad, thank you for this very enjoyable video. I loved it for several reasons. I love looking at people's homes as well. I really enjoy your chats. The both of you are so transparent and genuine in your discussions about everything. You make me feel like I am a guest in your home. Too bad I can't join you and add to the conversation. Do more of this. I don't want to see Vlogmas come to an end. All the best from NYC, Robert.
the fact that Chad mentioned buyers from Hong Kong shows how much he knows about the estate market Loved the long chat and analysis at the end!! Please do more viewing videos
Great sunglasses. You will likely know intuitively and in concert together when you find the right one. Again, refreshing, honest and informative on different levels.
I agree with one of the commenters, we were initially here for the home content but because the two of you are so authentic and interesting, now i love just hanging out with the two of you....hearing your vision and dreams for your journey, chatting about whatever, Ash cooking, gardening.....to put it simply, you two are just clever and real.... I'm here for it!
I agree with you about blowing one’s nose at the dinner table. Simply excuse oneself and take care if things in the ladies’ or gents’. Thanks for bringing this up. You’re not alone!
Chad and Ash, anything you guys do would be interesting. I love Chad's directness and hope you Ash can learn from him and stop worrying what people think. Love you guys😊
"No house is perfect. There's always something you have to compromise on." So true, Ash! I have a 50 year-old, two-bedroom with very little storage and no back garden (only a patio) in Phoenix. It's about 75 square meters. I have ONE kitchen drawer, LOL. I have spent a fortune on necessary replacements, but the home had good bones, no leaks, and is in a beautiful neighborhood only five miles from downtown. Every home has good things about it, and every home can be loved by someone out there. Choosing a home is all about weighing the good and the bad and prioritizing what's important to the person.
Oh I love you two, I love your honesty. Loved this chatty vlog. I’m with Chad on the eating and the blowing of the nose when your eating it actually repulses me, eating crisps next to me is a big fat No. Loved the house chat and there’s no rush you guys know what you want and you will find it. Wishing you the best of luck . X
I absolutely love this blog/ video... I totally agree I love a good fun honest chatty video...especially when it includes both of ye together.... 🎉. Thank ye both for another lovely Vlogmas Vlog .. ❤❤
Really love your channel, the transparency is honestly incredible. So few UA-camrs don’t give us numbers, like wtf do they think will happen if we know the numbers 😂
I'm definitely a fan of "Kitchen Chat with Ash and Chad". I love that you both discuss all the details, prices etc. I don't live in a major city but I do understand the bubble prices that exist in them. 🤑🤑🤑 That first house with the 'dodgy estate' behind it? Run Far Far Away! 😱 You could tear down an entire house but you will never ever change its Location. That's just reality. Try to be best pals with realtors so that you are their first call when a house hits the market. We bought our current house as a 'pocket listing' - essentially before it was even listed.
I like the chatty vlogs. As a clinician I can say that next year will be tough for some of the countries you mention. The last D means Debt. From researching Covid I learned that China has been in a financial bubble since 2008 (fish market guy was entrepreneur..etc) and USA House rep committee released report last week that Covid was lab. This will lead to sales. Also dropped prices you saw in area gives you leverage and bargaining. Do up your dream list. Export and analyse the prices and track them. Create evidence downward trend. Let the agents in the area know you are ready and you could get very lucky. Good luck!
English is my second language and I often listen to American English so I have a tough time to understand English English accent but I still enjoy your channel.
Loved the video, especially when your out and about in London. My son lives in an apartment over looking the river Thames, it’s a rental so seeing what the house prices are is very interesting.
😭 for a million pounds, you would think it would look a bit more kept the second house had a beautiful bathroom, you guys would do an amazing reno with that skylight i love the talks about money, ive never seen the inside of a million pound house, im living through you and your decisions
As the old song go's ''Always in the kitchen at party's'' I loved your chat from your kitchen - guy's, very natural. As far as house prices are concerned, I have never understood why people go on the attack about those who can afford a lot more than them - sorry Ladies and Gentleman that's the way of the world. The battered cheesy mac pie - well it fits the three D's perfectly - Death, Divorce and Dementia. Love you both. ❤
Love listening to y’all chat! I love your home and all of the changes y’all have made! I’ve watched different British shows about real estate and London is so expensive! Finding the right area and home is a challenge! I bought a new condo about a year and a half ago! So difficult finding value near to where I lived before but, finally I came across the perfect place! I look forward to seeing where y’all land next!
I thought the first house was awful not worth a million plus. I agree about people blowing their noses at the dinner table also people talking too loud
Our prices (Australia) are also outrageous. Not as high as you have quoted, to be sure, but bad enough. If I was starting out now, I doubt I would consider buying. I think I would prefer to rent. I don't think you go on too much about money. You mention what things cost, but you don't go on and on about it! I am considering the possibility of painting my place. Even that is daunting! Thank you for the video! PS: I came here originally for interiors content, but I do enjoy the diversified content as well!
As you're doing Scotland's favourite delicacies how about a deepfried pizza supper for Ash, and a Buckfast wine review from Chad. Seriously though it's great to see your honesty about costs, and it doesn't come across as bragging in the slightest.
Absolutely love house shopping so looking forward to more. Your honesty regarding value is a breath of fresh air. We all like to know what your current house cost you, how much was your renovation and of course how much is it worth now? I bought , did up and sold for profit 6 houses in 10 years to achieve my goal of paying off my mortgage by the age of forty. I achieved this goal with in 2 weeks of hitting my fortieth birthday. Mine were mainly probate bungalows in a Regency town on the Devon coast so a long way off the London bubble. The most interesting one was a house 1910 bought for £89,000 in 1997 and sold for £175,000 five years later . I spent very little on it , a new modest kitchen approx £3000 but decorated it well. So bring it on ! Costs ideas and viewings please and just delete the nasty jealous comments.
I love finance discussion. Thanks for sharing prices. For what’s it worth, townhomes are a million dollars in a suburb of Florida. It’s not located in a city like London.
I enjoy your honesty about money. Of course people want to know your opinion. Who looks at a house for sale without the price being mentioned. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
You both do not come across as boasting about money. As followers of the channel, it very interesting to see the housing market in london and associated costs.
This video was great fun! Totally enjoyed your "house buying" banter. And, it's wonderful to see you both with such wide smiles. Thanks for taking us along on your various adventures... although praising black pudding in a sandwich???? Black pudding anywhere???? 😂
I hear a lot about the London market. As a northern l am stunned by the price and condition of things. You could probably buy a huge Georgian house in the north for the price of a one bedroom flat in London. It's a crazy place to buy. I love the chatter, you can learn stuff from someone with Chads expertise in finance.
I’m with Chad on the chewing. My ex’s jawbone would crack when he ate and it would drive me crazy. Poor guy he couldn’t help it. By the way the third reason they sell their homes is Debt.
Two years ago my best friend wrote to say that she had just bought a flat in Portobello/Goldborne so I supposed something small and not fantastic. Turns out it is a three bedroom, living room dining room, real wood floors, second floor of a three floor brick building opposite a lovely church and near a park and canal. LOVELY ! Overlooking tree on both sides, near everything and for 850K pounds ! I asked HOW on earth and she said that her son just googled 'flats for sale Portobello' and it came up, she went to visit, put in an offer (cash buyer) and they accepted at once. I mean in what world does that happen!
Fellow mesophonia sufferer here. Eating noises, specifically MOIST eating and swallowing noises... argggh! My other one is "audio cues" on videos. ie fake typing noises to indicate a quote from someone is being read out, or a "swoosh" noise as a new graphic comes up on the screen. So infantilising! "Hey, thicko viewer! We know you have the attention span of a gnat, so here's an irritating noise to keep you on track!". Great content guys, I love seeing your thought processes and how you relate to each other. Plus one for full disclosure of the house prices, it makes it so much more interesting.
Love your chats❤ Here in Ontario Canada, house prices are through the roof! Easily1.4 million and goes up from there for a home anywhere close to Toronto. My husband and I bought 7 year's ago , we couldn't afford our house now ,our neighbors sold their home in July for 2.6M 😮 Good luck looking, it's fun to see what's out there and l agree with you to take your time and be fussy about the neighborhood, you can renovate your house but you can't change your neighbor's😊
I’ve just fell in love with your home, it’s decorated so tastefully 👌. Please don’t be offended by people remarking on your price range, firstly you live in London. Secondly there is always someone who has a higher budget than yourselves. I can’t afford your home, but instead of being envious I admire how you’ve transformed the rooms (guest bedroom amazing) 🎄🎄🎄
I came across your vlogs by accident, I absolutely love them.Firstly I'm a Scot and lived in Highgate of years, I feel Chad's irritation at times with London, I think we can have this love hate relationship with it in away . Yes, it is a bubble. As I think Chad poited out, you have the oligarchs buying for investment, which can push the normal guys out! I like that your vlogs are most informative, but with a very chilled feel to them, the chatting really works, so many vlogs tend to be overly perfect and contrived, which isn't real living. I think you have just the right balance.
I cannot stand snoring, smacking food/gum, popping gum. However, when my dogs snore, it is the sweetest sound. When they lick their feet too loud, it gets on my nerves.
Always enjoy their video,s..............Chad has that "Twinkle" in his eyes when he "Smiles".............and Ash has great teeth.........only being honest...............ha ha ha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keep these video,s coming guys..🙋❤😀
Stamp tax is essentially a sales tax on the home purchase price. During the last Tory government there was a stamp tax holiday to spur the economy and the guys wisely took advantage. Australia also has stamp tax and in Canada the GST (goods and service tax) applies to real estate purchases.
More wine chats, please. You're wonderful conversationalists, and you include your audience quite naturally and expertly. Angel is my favourite area of Islington, and of London. As a new transplant to the area, you're great company for me. I hope you enjoy your leadup to Christmas and the search for your new home.
I genuinely appreciate you being candid about money. I think it's important for us all to remove the stigma around money so that it can be less taboo and make others feel comfortable talking about it. I like to have a realistic idea of prices no matter the context. Keep up the good work. Your videos are a breath of fresh air and you stand out amongst others because of your honesty.
I love the honesty and talking money. It’s interesting and I love the opinions.
Love these two. Love the chatty bits. Such a great couple.

Really enjoying your videos, especially the chatty bits. Feels more intimate. A very cozy vlog 😊
Loved the longer video and the chat at the end. Also really enjoy looking at the houses that you are viewing. So glad you are taking your time in your search you will find something really great 👍❤️
Agree on the nose blowing where folks are eating.
I believe it was Death, Divorce, and Debt! As always, loving the daily vlogs this merry season~
I really appreciate the money talk and although I’m not there yet I’m so happy for you and this is actually very inspiring. Getting my first little home in East London as well and just love this chat.
The chatty part at the end of the video was so natural, warm, and entertaining...please do more of this
I enjoyed watching this video very much. I live in LA and love seeing how other real estate markets stack up. It was incredibly interesting.
I do love the chats about money. I’m nowhere near your tax bracket and am currently unemployed but it’s always nice to hear money talk from people who have a healthy mindset towards it. It’s inspiring and it brings me hope that I too will find a way to a better life. ❤

I love your transparency with money. You're just honest and straightforward - no reason for any one to get offended; really appreciate it.

Apparently, you cannot resist the temptation to restart with a huge renovation project. Your courage is amazing.
Ash and Chad, thank you for this very enjoyable video. I loved it for several reasons. I love looking at people's homes as well. I really enjoy your chats.

You just put so much work in your home and it looks marvelous!

Chad’s right. I love the chatty section of videos and talking about the future/property strategies.
I agree with you about blowing one’s nose at the dinner table. Simply excuse oneself and take care if things in the ladies’ or gents’.
Thanks for bringing this up. You’re not alone!
Like the home searching content along with talking numbers and renovations. Good video today.
I appreciate your transparency 🙏🏼 it’s refreshing
Ash loving your Vlomas!
Chad and Ash, anything you guys do would be interesting. I love Chad's directness and hope you Ash can learn from him and stop worrying what people think. Love you guys😊

Loved viewing the houses!
That breakfast sandwich looks amazing. Really enjoying the house hunting.
Chad and Ash need a project…hope you find the right house for moving up…London will never be cheap

I really enjoyed the video, and I love hearing about your plans ❤
First house was angin!! No better than your current one
Really enjoy these casual, conversational moments for sure. Can't wait for more of these house hunting clips :) Cheers from Santa Monica, California
I love the yapping :) agreed
I enjoyed todays video little bit of interiors and a chat. Yes I think the content was a good balance.
I like your chatty videos and it isn't too long. Love watching your content. Thank you!
Love you two just chatting…,pleasure to watch!!! ❤️
Making me hungry with the food!
Very much enjoyed the longer video & chat - love the chemistry between you both - and BTW - those Ray Bans look very nice on you Ash.. 😊
Great video really enjoying the content❤
Love listening to y’all chat!
I love your home and all of the changes y’all have made!
I’ve watched different British shows about real estate and London is so expensive! Finding the right area and home is a challenge!
I bought a new condo about a year and a half ago!
So difficult finding value near to where I lived before but, finally I came across the perfect place!
I look forward to seeing where y’all land next!
I thought the first house was awful not worth a million plus. I agree about people blowing their noses at the dinner table also people talking too loud
Love the chatty video. I lived in Aberdeen for 20 + years, missing that place.
Thanks for this great vlog - I used to live in Culford Road so was super to see that area again - love your honesty you are so refreshing 🧡

As you're doing Scotland's favourite delicacies how about a deepfried pizza supper for Ash, and a Buckfast wine review from Chad. Seriously though it's great to see your honesty about costs, and it doesn't come across as bragging in the slightest.
Thank you for the honesty, it differentiates you. Can’t wait to follow along.

Here for the wine chats!
Two years ago my best friend wrote to say that she had just bought a flat in Portobello/Goldborne so I supposed something small and not fantastic. Turns out it is a three bedroom, living room dining room, real wood floors, second floor of a three floor brick building opposite a lovely church and near a park and canal. LOVELY ! Overlooking tree on both sides, near everything and for 850K pounds ! I asked HOW on earth and she said that her son just googled 'flats for sale Portobello' and it came up, she went to visit, put in an offer (cash buyer) and they accepted at once. I mean in what world does that happen!

Yes, it is a bubble. As I think Chad poited out, you have the oligarchs buying for investment, which can push the normal guys out! I like that your vlogs are most informative, but with a very chilled feel to them, the chatting really works, so many vlogs tend to be overly perfect and contrived, which isn't real living. I think you have just the right balance.
I cannot stand snoring, smacking food/gum, popping gum. However, when my dogs snore, it is the sweetest sound. When they lick their feet too loud, it gets on my nerves.
By all means, continue to chat with us. Most enjoyable. Cheers from Ken in Alabama USA
those petit beurre biscuits are really good btw, genuinely french or not
Always enjoy their video,s..............Chad has that "Twinkle" in his eyes when he "Smiles".............and Ash has great teeth.........only being honest...............ha ha ha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keep these video,s coming guys..🙋❤😀
I am surprised you can get a viewing without your house being on the market.
I am too somethings fishy.
Love your videos; being in NY, I understand the sticker shock on housing. One thing, what is a stamp tax and how does that work?
Stamp tax is essentially a sales tax on the home purchase price. During the last Tory government there was a stamp tax holiday to spur the economy and the guys wisely took advantage. Australia also has stamp tax and in Canada the GST (goods and service tax) applies to real estate purchases.
Be interesting to know what the sale valuation will be on your now completed house.
The garden is amazing and the area looks nice. Put in your offer even if you think it will not be accepted. Only if you are interested though!!
The second house is nice.
More wine chats, please. You're wonderful conversationalists, and you include your audience quite naturally and expertly. Angel is my favourite area of Islington, and of London. As a new transplant to the area, you're great company for me. I hope you enjoy your leadup to Christmas and the search for your new home.
