I think this is the nicest episode I've ever seen. It was perfect. Sweet couples, beautiful houses, great outcomes, and a happy Phil and Kirsty duo. Thanks for posting this one!
Hugo and Hannah are such a delightful and positive young couple.. Hannah's smile and sparkling eyes could light up a dark room! 🤗 Wishing them a great future in their wonderful home.. Thank you so much for uploading! 👍
okay, here comes grandma downer, I cannot imagine needing to live in my "hometown". I've lived in San Diego, Upstate New York, Florida, Ohio, Northern Cal. --- well you get my drift - Simply cannot understand people limiting themselves when there is a huge world out there - need to broaden your horizons IMO
OMG, Hugo behaves just as I would want a partner to, while working on such an anxiety-provoking project! He holds Hannah's hand at the right moment, hugs and/or kisses her when she's nervous, and backs her up even when he holds a different view of things. I've watched scores of these programs and he's the first one who I can unreservedly say I absolutely adore. They're lucky to have found each other.
For Pete's sake, the first house that Kirstie showed Nick and Ally was only TWO miles from Stinton....and yet it's not good enough because it's not in Stinton?
Aaaahhhh England, where they won't move 2 miles (3.2kms) to a house they love, compared to Australia, If it's within an hours drive yeah that's close enough for me.
School run distance, corner shop, grocery store, restaurants, cafe's, pubs, green space, churches, work, public transit. Those things matter in villages there. In the U.S. public transit sucks, weather, and great distances like the ones you're speaking of basically force us to be car dependent. So you're probably used to a long commutes, as am I. However work/ life balance seems to be a priority in many places like the U.K. Great Britain fits into California or Texas in the U.S. so it's the size of one out our states and has cities, villages, and viable public transport options so I guess that's why I think location is indeed paramount there for buyers. Just my guess 🤷🏼♀️
Great collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I've only used that bag a few times haha. Also, I love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch with the DE print and I love the little chain. But I don't want to spend that much money right now and the kislux always gets me the bag I want and it's just as good as the LV and one of my favorites. Durability
Me too. It wasn't detached but looked like it was. Secondly it's master had an ensuite, something the others didn't have. Thirdly, it was the only one that had a kitchen dinner that opened up into the garden which is a layout I prefer.
No matter how nice they are, how can anyone stand living with future in-laws for 7 years!!! I also find it interesting they look at a house for living in for 7 to 10 years...When we bought a home we thought we would live in it for the rest of our life......Hanna and Hugo's home is so wonderfully designed and staged-Impressive! Alley & Nick:.. It's almost impossible to work in a dining room as an office with three children running around.....
Ok Kirstie - here's who Saint Neot was - an English monk in the 800s, he founded a monastery that drew a lot of pilgrims. His most famous miracle was that of the door lock, which lowered for him to let in an important visitor (St Neot was only four feet tall!)
Thank you! Why on earth do Brits pave over their whole front garden (with garbage compost and recycling bins front and center) even when they have a garage and driveway? I keep hearing Joni Mitchell‘s “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot“
From my observations their front gardens are often boring, with shingle or pavers for parking cars (they never use their garages). It's low maintenance and may convince the tax assessor that the house isn't worth much. ;-) They save the good stuff for the back garden, often beautifully landscaped and lawned. Access to the rear is always restricted by a gate.
Beacuse they are houses built before 1950 and the garages are not big enough for modern cars, if there is a garage. On terraced or semidetached houses there is rarely a garage.
They didn't use to. People had small green front gardens up until the nineties. When I came back to England after a long absence, I couldn't believe it: streets of houses with paved over horrible front areas just to be able to park an environmental nightmare on. (ie a car.) Now with climate change, loss of biodiversity and problems with flash flooding, people are being urged to regreen these front areas.
Lovely couples and wonderful outcomes. I agree with Hannah having children, and literally needing to unwind in a bubble bath with a book and candles are a necessity for me as well. And my sanity. I've turned down buying multiple houses because I refuse to bend on having a 🛁 bath, and my partner is adamant that he has a walk in shower 🚿. It took us almost a year to find one that has both, in our price range, that also ticked almost all of our other boxes. I'd rather wait for the right home when purchasing. I'd hate to spend what we did and end up locked in with buyers remorse. I was curious about the time it takes in the U.K. it takes to get the keys from a locked in accepted offer to the day they actually accept the keys. Is that based on a set closing period or the sellers request? In the U.S. the standard period from the beginning of escrow to key exchange is 30 days. In fact in order to get the seller to accept a quicker key exchange of say two weeks or the sellers requesting a longer key exchange of say six weeks due to extenuating reasons can actually cost either party a pretty penny. Then it can get quite costly if either party buys the home contingent on selling another. In that case the seller or buyer has to sell a home within the escrow period in order to fund the purchase (buyer), or wait to find the next home(seller). A buyer puts down "Earnest" money to guarantee that they follow through on the home purchase. Failure to do so actually means the seller gets to keep that money as payment for de-listing the home while they wait. Which then in theory compensates the sellers for missing other viable buyers because the escrow fell through. On the positive sign the buyer can pull out of the deal if the home fails a safety inspection, or the sellers refuse to bring those items up to code via repairs. In that case the buyer is released from the contract and they get to walk away and the sellers must return their Earnest money. It seems buying a home on finance and not cash is a right pain regardless of what country you reside. 🏡🤷🏼♀️

Thank you so much for uploading! 👍
Never say someone lights up a room. That's the first thing they always say about murder victims in crime shows.
@FigaroHey I will say what I like, thanks very much.. it's a nice phrase 👌
#ThankYou for posting! Phil & Kirstie always brighten my day.
Love it when both families are successful in their home searches/purchases.
Thanks again for our morning breakfast entertainment. A quality download of a very interesting pair of searches.
What lovely couples, such a happy episode! ❤❤
Thank you for uploading.
Keep the episodes coming ❤

I agree! Young ❤️
Must have had the kids when he was ten lol!
What a sweet couple!( first) they have such a positive attitude! ❤

StiLton

Excellent job Phil and Kirstie ❤
These are my comfort food. I am so grateful for your posting them. THANK YOU!!

Love Phil and Kristie. If I ever moved from San Francisco to England..I am searching these two out to find me the perfect house. ❤❤❤❤
I love that first house with separate studio/ gameroom
Me too. It wasn't detached but looked like it was. Secondly it's master had an ensuite, something the others didn't have. Thirdly, it was the only one that had a kitchen dinner that opened up into the garden which is a layout I prefer.
Very sweet - Kirstie & Phil came good with such tricky demands!
Thank you, lovely episode.😊

they were with them for 3.5 not 7
The world need more people like Hannah!! 😍
It is very nice when your clients are nice folk…..
It’s 2 miles!!!
(3:45) Oh!!!!!! Phil's gorgeous blue-Grey suit with the pink dress shirt under it: FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Very enjoyable to watch this episode with such lovely couples. Wishing them all the best.
Great episode! Thank you! :)
36:06 Phil confirming what we all thought 😜😂
Thanks for uploading this! :)
I have questions about Hugo 🤨
Thank you! Why on earth do Brits pave over their whole front garden (with garbage compost and recycling bins front and center) even when they have a garage and driveway? I keep hearing Joni Mitchell‘s “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot“

Access to the rear is always restricted by a gate.
Two more lovely families. I hope they both were able to close on the houses they chose. Thank you for uploading the episode.
Because they live in Britain! From watching this show & visiting friends who live there…..that’s the way most of their houses are.
Beacuse they are houses built before 1950 and the garages are not big enough for modern cars, if there is a garage. On terraced or semidetached houses there is rarely a garage.
They didn't use to. People had small green front gardens up until the nineties.

hugo the dad is so cute....
Cheers
Hannah is so sweet and she must be a great teaching asst!
The young blonde will make an amazing mother. Very lucky kids :)
Still trying to figure out what a snug is 😄
😂 A small sitting room or "den", cozily walled-off and made for reading and solitary relaxation
@@Diana.Darling thank you!
Is Phil drunk at the end?
Phil needs to work on his pronunciation of ‘St.Neots’. I grew up there, and the way he says it really hurts my ears!
Get over it 😂

👎👎👎 because there's no such thing as season/series 42 for this show. Also the added song segment at the end is just annoying.
"Your taxi is here...🧹" HAHAHA I screeched. Hilarious!
