The patience of this pair is amazing!! I can't say about the UK but in the US its far better to "lease" a business property for a business than it is to own. Business rent is a total write off - a much better tax write off'!!
One thing to remember is that the tax write off when buying a business property is the interest portion of the mortgage. The other thing to remember is that while you get to deduct the rental amount off taxable income, what you are really saving is just the income tax on the amount of the rent. I don't know what the taxation rates are, because they vary widely country to country, for round figures only, assume rent is $1,000 a month and the income tax rate is 20%. Total rent is $12,000. The taxes saved would be $2,400, meaning you have still spent $9,600 in rent after taxes with zero equity in the property.
The Uk had a problem during the recession were people who had leased business property couldn’t exit the market with out paying people to take on the lease . So it’s slightly smarter to buy it
I've always enjoyed this show and am very grateful to find them available on TH-cam, however, in the last few offerings I have noticed that there seems to be less cameral time devoted to the traditional detailed tours of the properties, and more time spent on the interactions and relationships between the property hunters themselves, and them and our esteemed hosts. I hope you will return to a more property focussed format in the near future.
Ok the one couple DO NOT NEED anymore kids until they grow up and OMG looking at where they live now my OCD went insane … scary scary geezzz TV cameras coming don’t you think you could of cleaned up a tiny bit 😳😮😳😮
fair question ! Also, every single time i hear people saying they need a bigger house, i always want to be able to tell them that may be they have too much stuff
Based on the comments, you'd think Kirstie full-on assaulted Phil in this episode. She barely taps his cheek with the tips of her fingertips - she does NOT 'slap' him (that requires contact of the palm of the hand with the side of the face and the force of the entire arm - not the fingertips from a short distance with no force). It's a playful tap on the cheek, for heaven's sake, after HE teasingly calls her a witch. Some people are way over sensitive and too worried about other people's playful dynamic. They are like brother and sister and tease each other constantly. Don't bring your own issues to it and turn it into a crime scene.
Clearly, she hit him no matter what you call it. That's the basis of assault. She could and should have not reacted in a violent manner. Your pejorative attitude toward her violence says volumes about your culture and mental space.
Thank you for this comment! It's becoming ridiculous (especially here in the US). They are totally like brother and sister!! And there is a lot of love behind the banter. If people can't pick up on that, THERE IS NO HOPE!!!
It's largely scripted, anyway! I'm sure they do genuinely like each other, but it's NOT quite as off-the-cuff regarding their banter, as it appears! people aren't still that naive, to believe otherwise, are they?😂
I was dreading the possibility of you finding them a neat and tidy neighbor. Can't wait to see where they buy. The house with the business next door is perfect. How do they not see that? I love watching this show with infinite episodes for 16 years. YEAH Love you Phil and Kirstles. And whoever edits and films and creates this program. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal. Hey Phil that was GREAT trumpet playing.
great program- all couples are super engaging and baby is a huggable doll!!! !!!!! one of my favorite episodes next to the camel one!!! very upbeat and personal- keep up the good work- how is the dyi stuff going after brexit??????
Those 'workshops' next door look like an absolute slum, derelict and dangerous. I wouldn't want to go there to do business, still less to go there every day for my job. What a horrible place.
One thing no one seems to care about with the house the young couple passed on due to planning commission questions: it's on a landing path for a major airport! NOISE? I lived under a flight path years ago, and it was AWFUL.
Why is this man more focused on his hobbies than the financial security of his family... they turned down great houses... very misaligned couple re life plans...
Everybody on this programme is 'desperate' to find another house. Never eager, never in a hurry, never hoping, never longing, wishing or even aching. Always 'desperate.' Which literally means 'without hope.'
I used to live in a small terraced cottage that was 150 years old with exterior walls that were 18 inches (45cms) thick. The only heating I had was a fireplace (for coal or wood) and the portable gas fire that was needed for the modern bathroom extension (which was freezing!). This was in the days of single-glazed windows, too. But it was plenty warm enough and when the next door neighbours lit their fire, it also warmed my house, so I didn’t even need to light mine.
@@ysbyttybedbug thanks for clarifying that for me. As a Canadian who experiences winters with temps as low as -30C, it's hard to imagine not having central heating.
There were storage heaters which I took out, and there is Gas Central heating - there is no mains gas in the village but runs off LPG (Bottles) - I have a new woodburner now which is amazing!
OK, so I know nothing about Wiltshire but I did a search for two bedroom semi-detached houses currently for sale in Wiltshire, and I see quite a few for under 300k. I know their budget was 240k, but I adjusted the price for inflation since this was filmed in 2010.
How are you going to pay for the 4 kids without the business? It makes no sense to say the kids are the priority... who pays for the 4 kids plus the dip in her business while she is going through labor, breastfeeding, and running after 4 kids????
I can see the future if that woman forces her husband into having 2x the children he's comfortable with. 2x the pressure 2x the expenses Makes his life miserable. Plays the victim when she's raising 4 kids on her own. 🤦♀️
Imagine being able to buy a lovely little cottage in Wiltshire now for £240,000 and what's the obsession with having 4 kids, can't she just be grateful for one.
How selfish to demand they have 4 kids when they obviously can't afford the one they've got now and he doesn't want more than 2. And running two businesses? Just not realistic, but definitely selfish, even to the point of ignoring what her partner wants. Wow.
Most modern men are terrified of the responsibility of children out of selfishness and cowardice. They don't want to take responsibility for their sexual activity in the first place, which is why they invented the Pill and pushed to legalize abortion as 'women's freedom' when it's really men's freedom to have all the sex they want with anyone and without any responsibility for raising children or actually caring about the women they use, scrape out and use again. Men are just cowards about kids and lazy about the hard work involved in supporting them and raising them. Often they have to be won over to openness to life and generosity by their wives and by the love they have for their 1.6 'first' children and the desire to give their children siblings to love and support each other after the parents die. You might as well say that he married her knowing she wanted four children and he's being selfish to deny her the right to generous motherhood. As for 'affording' them, people have an unrealistic idea of how much stuff and luxury children want. If you ask most children, they would far rather grow up knowing their parents really wanted them, that they are loved and having a group of siblings than having all the latest gadgets and fashions and posh school, etc.
@@FigaroHey Somehow I think you missed my point: that it is creating a lack of trust in a relationship to just do as you please, irregardless of your partners wishes. How did this become a feminist issue? She is doing what everyone hates: being the baby momma no matter what the guy wants. Maybe they did talk about how many kids before they got married, but maybe not. I grew up in a big family where both my parents HAD to work...and that was decades before all the "stuff" todays people want and expect. There just was never enough: never enough time, never enough attention or love, never enough for clothes - most of my clothing was hand-me-downs...from 3 brothers! I grew up being the "mom" to my younger sister and brother, so I was cheated out of my childhood. How will she run a gardening business with 4 little kids to care for? Hiring help is just another expense, but cutting hours or closing the business to be a housewife puts excessive pressure on your partner. What happens when he has to close his business and go back to a job he hates? I stand by my opinion: she is being selfish and not realistic.
Really DIDNT appreciate Kirsty slapping Phill, it was really hard and just shows that she needs someone to say NO Kirsty, thats too much and stop being so horribly arogant....I live in hope.
I would like to know why that one woman is so set on having four kids. She doesn’t know if a second one might have a disability that will take more attention then will allow her to handle more children after that speaking from family experience). Or they may have financial difficulties and not be able to afford to have more kids, or to afford them after they’re born, and as they grow up. 🤷🏼♀️
@@7ofthem I agree, THEY can decide how many kids to have. But, SHE is the one saying she wants four kids, and he is not saying that. They are not in agreement about thi I have a family member whose first child had some issues at birth, and because of the worry and expense over the next few years, they decided not to have a second child. You never know what can happen in life happens, it doesn’t always match with what we wanted it to be.
@@kathrynschierloh7358 he’s not saying no either is he .. I’m sure they will have a proper adult discussion and it’s none of our business. Just watch the bloody program
@@thehungrygoldfish Haha, I think they're snobbish in their own way- preferring old musty houses with "character" over contemporary apartments. But that's not what I was referring to. I just can't get over the condition of some of these houses. Carpet in toilets and kitchens! Window frames made of plastic! Etc. Also- forget staging- sometimes they don't even tidy up before showing their houses! Surely you can tidy up a bit before prospective buyers come to visit? That's not snobby, that's just respectful.
I thought that, too. I hope it's all scripted and he's fine with it. I'd be livid if someone smacked me like that. They'd be livid when I smacked them back 10 x harder.
Kids the and Phil have been partners for years and they are as close as siblings.This was recorded years ago and they remain close and she doesn't slap him and he still winds her up !
I'm liking your personality less, and less Kirsty! This happened to me when my wife's sister hauled off and slapped me while drunk. I walked away, but you have no worldly reason to slap slap Phil! 26:41 I'm sure you've been told by others you're bossy, self centered, egotistical, and just don't care what others think. Nor do I for that matter, but I'm a nice guy like Phil, and my personality isn't in tatters like yours. Phil does not deserve to be slapped Kirsty, but if that's how you guys play, get one with it. It's very unprofessional as well, and doesn't fit my idea of a first rate Real Estate agent. 😎✌🎄🎅
@@ngahuiroimatanutira-langda4153 I'd say the same to him! They're not kids anymore, and playing around physically often results in unexpected results so not a great idea. Should have learned that lesson in adolescence! ✌😎🗽
I may be an American...but I love these two and I know the show is old, but it's the search and the way these two react to each other.😁
Lovely couple who wanted a house that 'hugged' them.
I’m not ashamed to admit that the best part of any day is when you upload a new video. Thanks!
Yaaaaaaaaaasssss!!! I thoroughly agree!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Phil playing to horn!
I LOVE it when Kirstie does her HAPPY DANCE!!

I've always enjoyed this show and am very grateful to find them available on TH-cam, however, in the last few offerings I have noticed that there seems to be less cameral time devoted to the traditional detailed tours of the properties, and more time spent on the interactions and relationships between the property hunters themselves, and them and our esteemed hosts.

I agree. They don't need more space, they need to declutter and have a major tidy up and throw out.
They were vile.
Agree...was a total tip...
Who are you telling people how many kids they need!
And judgemental much ? Get a life
I'm either in sort of admiration at, or astonished at, some people's utter lack of self consciousness, and shame. Couldn't be me!😂
I hope the first couple have a very serious declutter before they move.
Kirstie was made to this job, to facilitate as she describes her job while Phil has good intentions and is a hard worker
She wants babies, he wants cars. I am just not sure how much they want each other.
fair question ! Also, every single time i hear people saying they need a bigger house, i always want to be able to tell them that may be they have too much stuff
It bothers me that some people don't seem to give a great deal of thought to piling on a whole bunch of kids.

Phil's couple appears to have hoarding problems. Wonder how they are doing in 2022 - 12 years on??
They did an update on them in 2012. They bought a house, had another child and Andy did not end up starting his business.
She went back to Mom's place and he's living above his business and sees the kids every other weekend.
@@imonearthnow1903 That did not happen, lol. He never started his business.
It’s the stock from their internet business ….
Pip is talented!😂🎺
It's true you cannot fund a house sitting on the couch...
Kirstie now has sort of 4 C too. She has two of her own and two step ones from her current partner
How are you going to pay for the 4 kids without the business? It makes no sense to say the kids are the priority... who pays for the 4 kids plus the dip in her business while she is going through labor, breastfeeding, and running after 4 kids????
I’m sure they thought it through , without you worrying about it . People manage you know
Phil’s couple are hoarders and no house will be big enough.
I want a flat on a high street with lots of pubs and shops and a barn and paddock for horses, can you find that for me?🙄🙄
Sure, do you have a 50 billion pound budget? 😂
I can see the future if that woman forces her husband into having 2x the children he's comfortable with.
2x the pressure
2x the expenses
Makes his life miserable.
Plays the victim when she's raising 4 kids on her own.
🤦♀️
Homes in England are so different from North American .
A sweet thought making a 'feature' of the well, but it ended up looking like a toilet in the floor.
I don't see why you can't just put a rug on top of it if you don't like it. It's easily solvable.
I thought it was extremely cool
If a Nan says 2 children are enough you better believe him
No hitting. I adore him. And I find Hee aggressiveness off putting
