Dad needed to lettttt goooooooo. He's a real argument for single motherhood -- so used to telling women what will and won't be, with mum falling into line, that he delayed his daughter's adulthood for years. Good for Chloe for cutting him out of the property picture and getting on with it herself.
For the couple, the 1st property was the best for me. It was over 100k below budget, turn-key, big beautiful open plan kitchen, private garden not overlooked even though the house is semi-detached. The only compromise is the smallest bedroom but I will compromise on that and compensate the child that would take the room. For the lady, the 1st house was beautiful and I would have gone for it as well. However I am glad she lost out for the cheaper one she got.
I agree. I can't imagine basing my decision to buy a house primarily on what type of bedrooms my two children want. This is the sort of indulgence that leads to entitled adults.
Poor Kirstie for having to deal with Dad.....Dad you are NOT the one living in this home. Dad is way too picky & negative. " 2 headed monster " is so true Phil. SMH
Three miles away and they aren't familiar with the area. As an American we count counties and states away that we aren't familiar with, well, some of us anyway. I remember meeting my husband's relatives in the Netherlands and they hadn't been too far from their home and it seemed odd to me! I have been all over the world, lived in many different states and always look for the adventure of it. I lived on a sailboat for years so moving was always taking home to a new location, always fun and being able to explore new locations was always an experience.
I think its more that Dad wont approve of anything, and daughter is trying to keep him happy, if it was husband and wife, she could put her foot down, daughters don't have that luxury with out consequences. I think the pink house was much better, the ceilings didnt feel so low
I know the couple love their daughters, but they'll be leaving the home soon, so to base your house buying on the daughters is not wise, I think. So what if their bedrooms are smaller? They're gone in a few years! Suck it up! And good for the daughter to find a cheaper place so her father doesn't have to cough up any money. He can't be so controlling if his $$ aren't involved. Thanks for the upload.
If you’re an adult living on your own or with a partner, then, yes that would be true. When you’re a kid or teen or an adult living with your parents or roommates or whatever, then you’re going to spend most of your time in your bedroom.
I get the dad. He just wanted the best for his daughter. I think her comment at the end telling him it’s my money, when referring to the decision of decor was a bit tasteless. That’s your father who is giving his time and was essentially going to help you with your home purchase. Ended up not needing to take his offer but geese show a little bit more respect. Don’t forget who’s helped you along in life and has helped avail opportunities most people only dream of.
2 years of dad controlling her choices when she's what. 27?!! That comment was because he kept her from buying for 2 long years (while prices have risen 50K!) and obviously he can't let go of his little girl. Problem is, she's not a little girl, she's an adult and she's right to choose something that he can't control her decision on.
First house for the teachers was terrific but they spent another £145 thousand and then more to do the kitchen. Not long before the girls are gone and they will be stuck with that mortgage.
@@litsci1877 She did use her money but was only able to save so much as she lived at home while working. Had she been renting for those years she might not have been able to accumulate a good deposit amount. That said, I think Dad being picky/ controlling was the reason they had been looking for so long and house prices kept going up and she could afford less of a house with every passing month/quarter. Good thing she realized the only way she would buy a house was without Dad's money/interference.
Careful on the statement " SHE saved up 60K"....Having been thru Uni ( I'm sure dad paid)....the 60K probably came from dad or grandparents as well....she seems quite spoiled little rich girl !
Down with homework! Homeschool! It takes a couple of hours a day and older kids are self-directed. Hours and hours of free time to be a kid, play, develop hobbies and skills, read books, tend animals, visit relatives, go on outings in school hours when nothing is crowded, meet people in the community, LIVE LIFE.

Never before have I ever heard someone say, "I don't like the bay window."
I know right?!
I'm not a fan of bay windows-they look messy to me. Nice place to put a Christmas tree but how to decorate the rest of the year?
Love your daily sharing, especially for those who live in the United States, it’s Iike a escape overseas😊❤️
Buying for the “girls” who’ll be leaving for Uni …..frustrating episode….jeez. So entitled.

Lovely episode. Thank you.
Father and daughter have seen over 60 properties? They can’t be serious about buying anything.
They did an update on her. She did buy something. So did the couple.

@@bjbrown But we'll pop over to France for the day, so... you know, differences.
This house @31:38 has no curb appeal but the interior is quite nice. They definitely need to tend to the exterior of the home.
Kerb appeal

Thank you very much! :)
Why does Cloe need three bedrooms?
Maybe for roommates to help pay the mortgage.
Because Dad wanted to control everything and wanted an investment property.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the deal about bedroom size? What are they using them for? I wasn’t listening that closely so maybe I missed why it is such a big deal?
If you’re an adult living on your own or with a partner, then, yes that would be true. When you’re a kid or teen or an adult living with your parents or roommates or whatever, then you’re going to spend most of your time in your bedroom.
@ I never had a room of my own growing up…in fact not until after my divorce lol

Why does the daughter need a 3 bedroom house without children or a husband?
First house for the teachers was terrific but they spent another £145 thousand and then more to do the kitchen. Not long before the girls are gone and they will be stuck with that mortgage.
Two years and still looking? Is this a case of "entitled" child and dad's money?
No, it's a case of Dad trying to control the situation. She eventually cut him out, used her own money that she'd earned and said goodbye.
@@litsci1877 She did use her money but was only able to save so much as she lived at home while working.

She's got high hopes. High apple pie in the sky hopes.
