Ok, so they were ready to offer 770k, but decided that 775k is too much, so they stayed in their rental, paying rent. I wonder how many months 5k will cover. Either they are not ready to move at all and looking for excuses or they are searching for unicorns... Happy for the other couple, smart choice! Although I would have gone for the first flat, but again based on video only. In person it is all so very different.
I knew that they were not going to end up buying anything the moment the husband told Chris that they were keen on trying to make an offer on house number 2. It was such a lukewarm statement with no enthusiasm, excitement or stress (other than the wife saying it was stressful once with no emotion). Usually, if you really want a house, one is nervous and excited about getting it, and the couple displayed no feelings. Even if the seller had accepted their offer of 760K or 770K, this couple would have pulled out later as they are full of self doubts and second guessing everything due to wife's over analysis and the husband not able to make a firm decision or is just used to wife making decisions for them. Phil pointed out in the very begining the over analysis type struggle when it comes to buying property. Now they are going to waste so many hours for months or longer checking properties online and then spend many many weekends going to view properties. They would waste more time in property search which if converted to money would far exceed the 5K that they refused to pay. Not to mention the longer they rent that 5K and more would be consumed by rent.
I think the lady is insecure and afraid to trust her instincts and feelngs. If one mentally analyzes a property, over and over, they will all come up short.
Wow, Kirsty actually asked the 35 year old man-child if the last living room was too grown up for him… And his response was in so many words yes. Alright then.😂 And the foolish woman that stays with him anyway.
I can’t believe Phillip had to warn the couple with the daughter about the “show house”! That should be a positive, not a negative - it was just neat and clean, way easier to look at without any clutter or distractions.
To be fair, show houses do look like no one lives in them. So, imo, it's hard to imagine yourself living in them. Even the houses of the rich and famous, in "Better Homes and Gardens" are staged. I'm not saying I wanna see pants on the floor, but seeing 10 years of someone's touristy items on the fridge beats a perfectly placed pot of chrysanthemums.
The Nerd Couple with the glasses are INSANE !!! Poor Phil. That 1st house was GORG !!! p.s. WHAT in God's name is Dad doing in the bathroom so long ???
A man his age who is absolutely adamant that he does not want children is letting you know that he wants 'you' but not your fertility, because accepting the entire woman, with her fertility, means he will have to give up being an adolescent. Can't count how many women I know who accepted that in their 20s and then found themselves in menopause, still 'living with their boyfriend' and facing the fact that he was NEVER going to commit to marriage and family.
I totally picked up the same. He flat out told his gf - no dogs or kids. She had to ask permission for a cat. And she looked disappointed at it all. Also, he didn't comfort her when she was crying. He knocked her arm an d then just stood there.
@@whirledpeas5717 yes! I got the feeling he’s not that isn’t her…. She also loved that second house but it was too much of a grown up home for him. She’s wasting her time.
The couple who don t want kids should grow up...they re not teenagers anymore and can t go on acting like a couple of adolescents...she even had to ask permission to get a cat....I d steer well clear of him...a right bore...
@@juliansydney9819 Not odd just a true observation. I thought the same thing. Advice to her RUN now he is not walking down the same road as you. Did you notice when she was crying, he did not know how to comfort her! Big red flag 🚩.
Like I told my partner when buying a flat, need to have min 2 bathrooms incase two having bad stomach and not advisable if there is only one bathroom :)
LOL. Growing up in the 50's and 60's my parents and 5 children shared a very small bathroom and one toilet. My maternal grandparents had 11 children and paternal grandparents had 9 children, both families had one toilet. 😂
@@heatherfruin5050 in the older days was normal to have one toilet for a big family but in this modern day, 2 toilets are a minimum unless the person is single.
You bend so well. I believe you went a little cra cra with plantings but amen I’m glad. I’ve just figured out how to comment I’ve watched from day one I love it all, thanks although I must have missed the episode where you introduced the young lady with the glasses that comes periodically
Wow, one lady will never find a "home" as she's too particular (husband deserves an award for incredible patience), and the other couple, well, I hope to heaven they stop gambling or their future will be well literally up in the air - 'nuf said by this grumpy grandma
I have NEVER seen either Pip or Kirstles ever "do a runner" (is that the right term?), out the back to avoid another estate agent coming in the front. That was so cute! Also 5000 BP is over $9000 CA, just from a quick search, so I don't blame a couple for holding off that close to their top budget.
Why is it that people cannot overlook the decor in a "show home" ? Just imagine your furniture and your mess in it instead - the showy furniture is not going to convey .
I feel the same about the first house, it's beautiful, I want to like it, but I just can't. Narrow dimensions, feels like a tall corridor. At that price, I'd rather take a detached in Winterbourne or Iron Acton, and drive just 20min to the city when needed.
It's a lot of money for a flat or attached property. I'm starting to wonder if the Economist who saud don't buy anything for atleast 3 years was wise. It's just giving already rich people a huge windfall and leaving poverty for homebuyers with huge debt. Wondering if families and parents moving in together in a bigger house is better option.
I'm with the Ukrainian couple, Joanna, on that Edwardian. The outside was gorgeous. Then inside, it was so sterile with all the architectural character renovated out of it. Really, what's the point? And the back of the house with those prison-like walls, not at all appealing.
I do like some modern changes, but edwardian houses are some well proportioned and have lovely features, it is a shame to over modernize them. Ps. That couple was Polish, though I admit, she had a thick polish 'eastern' accent even after so many years in the UK.
@@joannajaworska0000 Are you sure about Poland? I thought I'd heard Ukraine, because I immediately thought of Ukraine/Russia, and was a little more interested in them because of it.
I love Phil, but this episode is a classic example of the bias against intelligent women. I mean, come on!!!! She is far less complaining than so many of the other women on this series, yet every sentence from Phil is a jibe at Joanna. It's like men can't stand clever women.
I adore Phil and Kirstie, but they can be a bit old-school sometimes. Would Phil have lectured a particle physics Ph.D. about having feelings if that person had been male? OK, I know, it makes for good entertainment.
@@AFAskygoddess Don't be ridiculous. There have been many people on this show who could never come to a decision because they were too critical, analyzing every house to atoms. What Kirstie calls picky. I just watched one where the man was saying that a great house gave him misgivings because he was not fond of large paving stones. Kirstie called him out. Plenty of men over-analyze to avoid spending.
I am not sure how you can possibly judge a family on camera like this. They seem a loving, close family. "The Kid" appears to be a llovely, lucky young woman.
@@JuliaHopewell Polish familes tend to be much closer than "western" families. For more than 20 years I taught college in Poland and out of almost 2000 students I can think of only three or four who did *not* say that their parents were their best friends who had done everything for them and are the first people they would go to for help and advice. This came up again and again over the years in a standardized mock oral exam. So don't judge what you can't understand. The devotion of kids to their parents in Poland is beautiful and deeply touching to see.
(14:39) ...Joanna's trousers... ohdearGod... they are dreadful. No doubt 'cutting edge fashion.' It's shocking what you can get people to buy. (The last trend being High-Water trousers. ALSO dreadful; they shorten the silhouette.).
House #1 Lady, you're not buying the house decor! Your furniture, your colour scheme, that's where the personality comes from!
It's the weekend and you're spoiling me with a current episode I haven't seen yet, woohoo! You're a star!
Yay!
So happy when there’s a new episode. 👏👏

I agree! They lost that house for a measly 5k. What a disappointment.
They didn't have the money in the first place.
I agree!!! SO ANNOYING!!! When people say "This is my budget." and then turn around and won't pony up. That was ridiculous.

Can't believe that couple lost the house by refusing to meet the asking price of $5,000 more!
Thank you for posting! #AlwaysHereForPhilAndKirstie
Love the fireplaces, bay windows and shelves on the either side of the fire breast. ❤❤❤❤
What an adorable family. May God bless them.
Nice study the public school boy had in that Edwardian terrace "show home" lol Love the photos on the walls. Thanks for a new episode!

I have never ever understood a library. If you have already read the book, why keep it? Share it.
The polish couple need to get on the same page. I think Greg needed to give more input from the start so his wife would have a better understanding of
