Kirstie always has the voice of what most people actually want, but hey we can sometimes get it wrong! Good job Kirstie is a Pro and it is not often wrong, I would want her opinions always, whether right or wrong. 👍👍
Liverpool seems like such a pleasant, interesting city! I would love to visit it. I loved the houses Phil showed. I adored the colour choices un the first one. It's so nice to see gutsy decorating choices. Both the second and third houses were breathtaking. The houses Kate looked at were much more modest, but good ones too. But one thing I noticed about them, and about many houses on this show is how steep the staircases are.
I was born in South Liverpool. My parents lived in Allerton where this search was. Aigburgh is just a few minutes up the road.I know these places so well. My family and I visited my mum every 1-2 weeks, wherever we lived in the UK (England and Wales), until she died in 2020 It's a vibrant, wonderful City with great people. I've emigrated but do plan to visit again soon. Watching this has made me very homesick and sad, though.😢
If she took the last property they viewed on day 1, fixed it to be liveable, rented a room out, got through school - in a 1 1/2 she could save up money to most likely do the renovations
Getting all that work done and dealing with a tenant would've come in the way of her studies in the final year law school though. Kirstie missed a beat by not showing her a ready-to-move thing, that's why the deal wasn't done.
@@kunalsen2123Far too simplistic as a conclusion imho. Imho it comes down to budget versus the wishlist, read area. And let’s not forget that a Student does not generate any money yet, so a tenant covers water, electricity and heating, community costs and taxes. And way more conversations up front - that we didn’t see nor hear - to assess whether Kirstie was on the money or not with her propositions. And it’s the entire team of locators’ business - behind all of these episodes - to create a top 3 or 4 to show. Not just Kirstie nor Phil…
If they do it right after school or in a weekend afternoon, I don't see what the problem is. As long as they don't do it in the morning or night. You can't expect people to read and be quiet AT ALL TIMES while YOU make all the noise that you want. You're not the Queen, Eve.
@@resnonverba137 There's no moral obligation of a buyer to a seller, it's a house. And it leaves the house available to someone who will be happy there.
@@martinfpavey There's no moral obligation for someone to say please and thank you. I'll leave you to your own opinions as to what is right and reasonable.
@@resnonverba137She has the right to back out if she wants to. It sounds like she backed out early on so at least she didn’t back out the day before closing.
Sometimes, Kirstie goes too far in imposing her own views on what the buyer should do, and it backfires. Listening to what the young buyer said she wanted would have saved some time, and ended in a sale rather than a stalemate/no sale.
Kate looks so much like the British actor Siobhán Finneran. Could be mother/daughter. And that last house the women saw was beautiful, but wrong location. Thanks for the upload!
@@lindap8101 Thank You, was rather quirky to me ☺️😘🤗😉, have a blessed day. I would love to come visit your beautiful country someday, However, would be so hard to leave! 😘🙏💙
Oh gosh, these women are being ridiculous. The boys will both be out in four years, and unless they want to go through all this again in a hurry it's just for them in the long term, not for the boys. Decide the priorities and be a bit resourceful, ladies
@@thehungrygoldfish Great, then stop being interminable fussbudgets about the house and garden. Choose, in other words, when it becomes clear that "all" is not in the cards.
@@litsci1877 what? It's clear that the garden was where one of the ladies was intending to spend a lot of her time. Why shouldn't she be fussy about that? In the end, the boys got normal rooms and a prospective temporary shed they can always remove later to free up more garden space, so it's not like they were asking for a media room or a big basement or anything. Also, obviously, the mother wants a few more years with the younger one before he flies the nest even though she did not say that outright. I think the demands were reasonable.
@@kunalsen2123 Yes, reasonable for a lot more money if they wanted a particular location. Fortunately they came to their senses about that by the end. If nothing else this series is actually helping me develop empathy for estate agents as their job appears to be big-ticket sales to kooks and the terminally indecisive. I no longer begrudge the commission: the sane pay for the rest.
@@litsci1877 , they had the budget for it and wanted to use it for something that would give them happiness, and that's like the end purpose of money. These are older people who've seen life and paid their debt to the universe and all that and are about to be empty-nesters and one has possibly been widowed. They're not supposed to be as crazy about saving up or as expected to be adaptable or adjusting as younger folks. You're not reading the situation but forcing your perspective on them when in the end, they got the house they loved for over 10k lesser than their upper cap of budget and got everything they wanted minus the super high ceilings. If anything, the younger woman was the indecisive one, actually reneging on a deal even with inheritance money, so basically unearned income.
If you can afford it, go for it. But I think Kirsty's thinking was "Oh, she's young and she doesn't need all that space, so she can rent a room or two and pay off her student debts as fast as possible."
Phil remids me of one of the hosts on Escape To The Country. The clients want one style of property, and this guy shows them total opposite. Some of the properties are really ugly on the outside, no character at all.
@@mom-ys9sb Sad to say, the local station here, that was showing it is no longer. They changed format to reruns of old sitcoms. The station here in NY is called Dable.

Oh Phil you can handle those delightful ladies!! You have natural charm

Love it - Kirstie and Phil are both the perfect support for this show, oops, life decision.
The entrance hall is 1930s deliciousness!!!
Good episode. Hope Kate gets her house…and that the family enjoys their new home…good choice
Great to see a great couple happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💙💚👏👏🥰🤗
Kirstie's blue and white striped dress is fabulous!!

Robbie is ADORABLE !!!
Kate should have pick house #1
the couple are typical community worker. out of our time… safe nd happy
Nobody thought of the neighbors and noise from those children

@@thehungrygoldfish i don't make noise outside am considerate and definitely don't have kids
@@pixie706 Well, no duh. You're a single woman who lives by herself.. No duh you're going to make less noise than a family of four, lol. God.
I wouldn't want to be a neighbour. Unfair on them. The boys are spoilt.
@@Carylina1😂 they're my mates you don't know who you're talking about
Disappointed in Kate. It wasn't 'all good' for the seller when she reneagued on the deal.
So you'd rather her buy somewhere that wasn't right for her? She was adorable and clued-up.
@@martinfpavey She showed both a lack of integrity and a lack of concern for the other party.

Very true. Kristie's job is too find a home not design a lifestyle. She needs to back off sometimes and just listen more like Phil does.
The 1930s house is stunning, but did they show the kitchen?
45:55 not obvious as it's a bit
out of character with the rest of the house
@@jodybobble thanks!
LOL , great job Peep !
Do you mean "Pip"?
34:40 i agree, feng shui is a thing and i wouldn't consider a house like that either 😊
These prices are a lot lower than I saw recently. Actually seem reasonable. When was this filmed. ?
2011
Phil, who makes your shirts ? Turn bull & Asser ?
Kate looks so much like the British actor Siobhán Finneran. Could be mother/daughter. And that last house the women saw was beautiful, but wrong location. Thanks for the upload!
Yes, she really does resemble Siobhan!
Was that Phil's brain exploding? 🤣
I could see that Kate wasn’t sure of this when the deal was confirmed on the phone. I’m sure Kristy knew as well but the cameras were rolling…
For goodness sake, it's Vee and ME not Vee and I.
I love a good "grammar" freak ! Spot on !!
Anyone, @40:05ish, why would a big yellow School Bus, Drive Right Into The Water?????????
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Not a school bus, it's not America.
Amphibious tour bus. They go by different names, splash bus, duck bus….

Liverpool is still cheap in 2023....! Gorgeous 1 bedrooms can be had for 125k
Young Kate is such a delite!
I think you mean, 'delight'.
I know where that house in Crosby is!
I wouldn’t want anyone living with me. Kirstie should give it a rest.
If you can afford it, go for it. But I think Kirsty's thinking was "Oh, she's young and she doesn't need all that space, so she can rent a room or two and pay off her student debts as fast as possible."
10:27 - oooh, yummy. Handsome!
chill out creepy grandpa
Strange, kate didn't bring her mom along................
Wow mum w 2 sons and mums girlfriend 😮
And? I thought they made a lovely couple.
Thanks for the perv alert. I know what to fast forward through.
It was a little odd to say the least.
@@Mariana-ud7dw They are indeed a lovely couple. It's hard to believe that anyone would react shocked or disapprovingly to such a nice family.
And that bothers u? Why?

Watched because I’ll be renting in Liverpool shortly. Not gonna lie, these places look terrible.
Great, because you're going to get something much worse. These are houses, hon. What you will get is a run-down flat.
Never heard of a paintbrush?
@@thehungrygoldfishNope. Rented a modern apartment downtown. I was surprised how prevalent these terrible layouts were.
@@jacqueline8559In a rented space? No.

@@mom-ys9sb Sad to say, the local station here, that was showing it is no longer. They changed format to reruns of old sitcoms. The station here in NY is called Dable.
I think they chose from what’s available on the market.
