What a sweet soul Ellen is. I was yelling at my computer hoping you would say yes to the one bedroom, which you clearly preferred, good on ya!!! Congratulations!!!
Kirstie: No need to feel bad about not being able to help more. This couple has visited 100 houses without finding anything to their liking. 103 houses after this episode. I suspect there isn't a house on this planet likely to please them, and this will become truer and truer as their money buys them less and less.
I am SO HAPPY that Ellen didn't buy that strangely shaped house! It felt disconnected from itself; strangely shaped rooms stacked upon one another without proper flow and smallish windows (not enough light!) The 'courtyard garden' (what we could see of it) looked like a PASSAGEWAY! not a proper outside space. It FELT like depression to me. But the one bedroom flat in Margate FELT wonderful! It was amazing. I am SO HAPPY for her that she got that one. And, it seems everyone else here is too! (We just ALL knew? Wow!).
Matt frankly does not want to buy a house because that would mean he would be making a "long term commitment" which from the squit squat opening where he insisted on ignoring his partners hints about engagement. Frankly Sophie dump his ass fast!
Phil and Ellen -- what beautiful synergy! I wonder if there really are estate agents out there with big hearts like his. As for that Matt guy: Hmmmm -- let's have a baby (but no ring); let's buy a house (but no ring); hmmmm maybe let's not buy a house (still no ring).....
Wait a minute! This couple said they'd be comfortable paying £450,000 for a house but would stretch to £600,000. That extra 33% expense is a recipe for financial disaster. Financial maturity is buying what you can easily afford, not what you want. Life can throw you surprises, like a job loss or illness. The money you have today may not be there tomorrow.
The comfortable price may just have been a price they would have liked so they could have extra for fun expenses and/or investment. It may be the case that 600k was actually reflective of the upper end of a reasonably responsible budget. Some people do not want to spend as much as they necessarily can on a home. For example, a couple of my friends (in Canada) had an upp end of their budget they could afford of 850k (Canadian - the pound is currently about 1.67 Canadian dollars) but were focusing on places at the 600-650k point. They ended up getting a place that was asking 675k for a little over 700k. What they have done is taken the difference in what their mortgage payment is and what it would have been had they spent 850k and put that into an investment portfolio (plus an additional 10% of each pay). So they could have afforded a more expensive place but instead found a place they lived for less and accelerated their retirement investing plan. It's a win-win to buy at a price well under your maximum that you can reasonably afford.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting these!!! I have just run out. I have been watching these for days now and they make each day brighter and happier. I don't know what I'll do now without Kirstie and Phil to lift the spirits. Oh Dear!!! (But thank you!!!)
So happy for Ellen. Lovely lady. The three bed - she was doing for resale and for her parents. In the end she decided what was good for her… the one bed… she just glowed. Good on you Ellen. 🌸
Mat’s requirements seem too unrealistic for their budget. They should have bought last year when prices were cheaper. Get into a property before you are priced out of the market!
Matt don't seem to want to comment on marriage or a home.... women give away too much of their power to men who don't put a ring on it. Anyways. The one Ellen choose was perfect for her. Moving forward I think when looking you have to go by how you really feel about the space you'll spend most of your time in. Plus, a tension rod and heavy curtain can make that living space into a cozy sleeping space.
Oh I love how humorous Phil is and i love how Kristie and he banter between each other! They are so funny! ,😂🤣😁😄😃😀😊 I am TH-cam stuck on Location, Location, Location and on Love ot or List it with Kristie and Phil! I have all the show I have found on a loop, that I listen to all day and night.... I know I have it bad! But I love their shows💖💖💖💖💖💖
I rather liked the wonky house and I thought it was a good choice for Ellen, but so was the flat she bought. I'm glad she found something that made her happy.
Happy for Ellen, she will be happy there. Lovely area to live. Couple have valid reasoning. Busy street, not great for anyone, especially children and pets. Not to mention air pollution, privacy, sense of security and crime. Also wanting to live a beach lifestyle is a dream for many people. The problem is the lack of compromise in a tight market. TFS
Yep, he is difficult to please - 100 viewings, and nothing will do? In addition to that he can't accept that prices have gone up. He needs to wake up and realize that his options are diminishing, not increasing. He is very probably the same way about everything else in life. His wife has the patience of a saint.
Ellen make the right choice. She needs to buy a place for herself not for her parents, and especially not for her mother. I think any problem she has probably goes back to that relationship. As for the couple, Matt is a cheapskate. He's going to avoid buying a home for as long as possible. It's actual equity and adult responsibility. It's above him. I fear for the relationship he has with his family because when is he going to bail on that one too? The guy will waste his money instead of investing it wisely and growing it. Kirsty should not feel bad at all. Just cut bait and let that fish go.
Phil, you look a good deal like the older Sir. Laurence Olivier in the famous Hitchcock film "REBECCA" 🎥. Kirstie, has finally channeled the full Mrs. DANVERS from the same film, she's scary in a pleasant way.
I am surprised that Ellen chose a clearly marked "noisy" flat at nighttimes despite stating that noise was an issue for her .... and that she chose a one bedroom flat when a seperate room for work was so important for her ..... I hope she didn't get the heavy surprise when living and experiencing the actual noiselevel .....
I think it's just that he can't control himself. I studied a lot of psychology. I majored in it as an undergrad, studied it more in grad school and worked with behaviorally challenged students for two decades. tRump is first and foremost a sociopath. But he also exhibits symptoms of schizophrenia and I'm sure he's on the autism spectrum. I won't go into the details as to what behaviors are indicative of which disorders, but by my observations and from what I've read others who are or were close to him have said, I make that determination.
You're against people feeling included and having diversity -sex, sexuality, race, neuro like Ellen, veterans, wheelchairs, hearing and visually impaired along with all the unseen disabilities, in the workplace? It's not her generation, it's the way of quality employers. We can't all be born perfectly healthy, white, men.
Dear Friends, Thanks for your thoughts. Here are mine: As one who would have greatly benefited from “inclusion and diversity” initiatives, I rather kindly disagree, and see what is so right with this generation! Perhaps you can see it from this angle as I and my family does, and see it instead as progress. Thank you for reconsidering your reactive reactions, and reconsidering my response. May we all feel grateful for all that we have and all that is now possible for many, many others to similarly receive. Holiday Blessings

Well done Ellen. I liked the way in which you made a good logical choice.

Agreed!
What a treat Ellen is! I love how direct and clear her communication style is. Thrilled for her.
me too!
Phil did a brilliant job helping Ellen find her home. She was a joy to watch. All the best. Cheers!
run sophie. matt will not commit to anything.

Him… I felt so bad for Sophie….
Loved Ellen's flat, so happy for her that she went back to get it.

Who dares (and truly thinks), wins! I so hope she's as happy as can be in her first home, I'm sure she'll make it magical❤.
Yessss Ellen, that property was meant for you!
Thank you for posting! I can never get enough of #PhilAndKirstie
Same! Same!!!
aww… well done Ellen! Be happy
Phil and Ellen -- what beautiful synergy! I wonder if there really are estate agents out there with big hearts like his. As for that Matt guy: Hmmmm -- let's have a baby (but no ring); let's buy a house (but no ring); hmmmm maybe let's not buy a house (still no ring).....
I LOVE Ellen!!! She is so so so adorable 🥰🤗 I am so happy she got the house she loved most ❤️ Make happy memories girl ☺️

Never can understand a legally unconnected, unmarried man and woman buying a house when the relationship probably will be temporary.
4:24- I adore those cat overalls!
Mat’s requirements seem too unrealistic for their budget. They should have bought last year when prices were cheaper. Get into a property before you are priced out of the market!
As soon as I saw that flat for Ellen I knew it was for her, so when she tried for the other I was so disappointed. So happy for her!
I absolutely LOVE Ellen. She's so stylish!
Matt don't seem to want to comment on marriage or a home.... women give away too much of their power to men who don't put a ring on it. Anyways.

I love the way Phil gives Ellen insight into what is possible, in order for her to make a good decision.
Oh I love how humorous Phil is and i love how Kristie and he banter between each other! They are so funny! ,😂🤣😁😄😃😀😊

The house was the sensible choice for Ellen but it wasn't the right choice for her. The flat was the right choice, and I'm glad she got it.
Ellen is delightful. So happy for her. Enjoy the flat.
What a nice girl and lovely couple.
I rather liked the wonky house and I thought it was a good choice for Ellen, but so was the flat she bought. I'm glad she found something that made her happy.
Ah Ellen is so beautiful and happy for her. The couple, well good luck ❤

Love Ellen's flat , perfect for her ...the other couple he's such a pain. Enjoying recent episodes. Thank you

He needs to wake up and realize that his options are diminishing, not increasing. He is very probably the same way about everything else in life. His wife has the patience of a saint.
That couple are having issues.
Such a tough market - very interesting to see how buyers are coping under such stress. Thanks for sharing.
Love Ellen and her purple hair

I love the story with Phil and Ellen.

This show is like a drug to me
Yaaaaaaayyy
Activen los subtitulos por favor
Is the audio a bit slow... or does Phil seem a bit tipsy around the 10-minute mark? Seems to be slurring his words.
I think it's just that he can't control himself. I studied a lot of psychology.

Nightmare couple... after seeing 100 properties..... ??? Help
same here!! ( as per comment below)
2012 ????
Get a hida bead for mom or you and give mom your room when she visits
D do
At 23 ?
Bought our first at 22 / 23
With Sophie......... I'm getting the words.........."high maintenance". Good luck Matt, you're gonna need it.
If they had bought before, they would have bought for much less. The more they wait, the higher the prices will be lol
I'm getting the oppposite impression. But 100 viewings is a sign that one of them, or both, are not easy to please.
Kirstie, please don't say OMG
Love the series, Kristie please stop using Gods name as a cursing word, use GOSH
Purple hair - works in inclusion and diversity ….. noooooo you dont say 🤣
Don’t say what ?

Just light them on fire and enjoy the show. 😊
Lovely Ellen, but an "inclusion and diversity" consultant? Good God, what has become of this generation??
You're against people feeling included and having diversity -sex, sexuality, race, neuro like Ellen, veterans, wheelchairs, hearing and visually impaired along with all the unseen disabilities, in the workplace?
