Thank you for posting a new Kirstie and Phil. Love them.
That school is amazeballs. I'd have been writing the cheque on my walk up the drive. I can't believe they didn't show a full walk through; even if it was a no. *I* wanted to see it! It always amuses me to see something clunky appear on the show - like the sticky, cheap sliding glass door on the other couple's first house.
And I actually love the 60s aesthetic. But that's all subjective. And speaking of subjective - "I'd need persuading" about that even more incredible contemporary barn conversion???!!!!!! Holy crap!
Loved the old school house
All of what kentlatimer3706 said
It was evident that it was always Louise who was going to get her way in whatever property they chose - husband Chris would never have his say! That being said, the barn conversion was wonderful, and in terms of village life and commuting was the best choice. Personally, I'd have gone for the school conversion which I found to be fabulous. The young doctors bought the most practical choice for their needs now. Well done Kirsty and Phil for presenting an excellent selection of houses to each couple.
To be fair, in most relationships the woman wears the pants and gets her way most of the time.
Yes. I had a different reason for liking *all* of the houses on this episode. Even that 70s house could have been really fun if, like Kirstie said, you played it up.
And thanks to the last vendor for keeping the investors out of the neighbourhood even to his/her loss
The quality of your posts are exceptional. Thank you.
Thank you for posting! My family and I love watching this series. Cheers from Canada
I really like the approach of this show. It goes much more detail about how people make these important decisions. There is a lot of psychological interplay going on that is really fascinating to see. Also the properties are invariably interesting, or attractive, or just wow.
If he thinks that house with the red leather couch is too crowded either buy a shorter couch or eliminate the couch all together and put three small scale chairs in that room-that give me open space. I LOVE LOVE that last 1970's home!!
The 1970’s house is fab 😊
Unless they’re planning to hire a weekly gardener, cleaning lady,…they’re in for a lot of work. Been there, done that. Learned my lesson.
Yup. The smaller you go, the easier the maintenance. I long for a garden to be out in all day long every day until winter forces me indoors. But that would mean having little time or energy or inclination to clean and maintain a larger house as a single person. I have a friend who got a reasonable house for herself and her daughter: living room, dining room, kitchen and hall downstairs (maybe a WC - can't remember) and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. She's not the best at cleaning up as she goes along, which may be part of the problem, but she complains constantly about day-long or weekend-long cleaning sessions . I don't know if a more organized person would be able to keep it clean and tidy and not have it swallow up weekends, but it is cautionary to know how much is involved in just keeping your own space clean and tidy when it's larger than a small flat.
More of this show--newer episodes that aren't already on TH-cam please
Yes many more please❤️🇨🇦
I love the way these two interact with each other. The always seem to be having so much fun!
Love this show so much, would love a follow up on everyone who didn't found a home with Phil and Kirsty ♡
Yay! A new episode! Please, please add more episodes! I love this show. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.
I've not seen this one! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE!!! They absolutely make my day!! Thrilled!
Great properties! Can't fathom how anyone could rule out that gorgeous converted schoolhouse! First time I've been tempted to cast aspersions on the clients. But it all came together in the end.
Loved this
So happy to see you two. California Sierra Mountains is a beautiful place to live. But I really love seeing Britain's world & meeting the people❣️
these two are so in tune love the show keepem coming.great job
Love this programme, iv watched all episodes and series of kirsty and phil, what a lovely pair and sooo funny, she keeps him on his toes, and he tries to keep her in her place, but in the nicest possible way😊
Thank you for this new episode 😎
I love your programs, thank you 💖
I love the barn!!!
Am i the only one thinking about the upkeep in time and $ of a 4-6 bedroom and a huge yard for 2 people closing on retirement ?
I was thinking the same thing. Sooner or later they’d need to hire some help. Great if you can afford it, I guess.
I love the barn conversion!
Retirees tend to be stuck in past abilities 😂 that's my story! I think I'm invincible!
It’s crazy to me that 2 people think they need all that room. A good size 2 maybe 3 bedroom house would be a better fit.
@@lelanoel3499Me too and I love Phils attitude. A real gent.
Woodchip wallpaper is everywhere in older buildings in Germany.
I love Kirstie and Phil…I look forward to every video, and I’ve watched them all! From USA 💓💓💓💓
The converted schoolhouse is amazing.
The converted barn is even better.
Great choice by the doctors, I love mid-century houses, well done
Gracias volvimos a ver a Phil con su profesionalismo enseñando casas muy bonitas , saludos 🖖
The 2nd house for young doctors, cosmetically could be stunning inside, and gorgeous garden. For the older couple, all but the school house were nice houses, just choose to buy or resolve to rent.
Yea!! Was missing Phil and Kirstie
I will take the schoolhouse. It’s amazing. ❤
love the barn
Investors are taking a lot of properties off the market, making it difficult for would-be buyers or renters to find a place. When these properties become available, it's at a greatly inflated price, and because there are so few alternatives, they can make a big profit.
Yes, I was happy about the seller who wanted to sell to people who would live there, not drive up prices by treating it as an investment. I understand that in some Canadian cities it's virtually impossible for young couples, single parents, etc., to buy a house because the stock is owned by huge housing corporations who buy up everything and rent it so there's just nothing left to BUY on the market. And since the huge corporations own the housing stock, they can set any prices they want. Young families, single mothers, older people, etc., who have been living in a place for ages are thrown out of their homes when the rent doubles or triples because a corporation has bought up the building. There needs to be a law against that.
Wonderful.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️🥰🤗
If I ever moved to London I would want these two to help me to find a home..love aphil and Kristie...from a big fan San Francisco
I didn't know the show had travelled so far!
From 🇬🇧 Fan😊
They should have snapped up the house that was “too big”. Gorgeous and below their budget
They were never going to buy that house when Louise had her heart on the barn conversion.
But it would have added 40 minutes commute to their day, plus they had to drive even to the village. The barn was close to everything they needed. It’s not called ‘Location, location, location’ for nothing!
I have multi-colored string lights all over my house that are connected with a remote that turns them all on at once. I can turn them on from my bed. It’s wonderful to wake up with and in rainy weather. I leave them up all year.
2015... I did not expect that!
The school house was gorgeous, I would have been rapt!
I think the converted school was lovely. The trouble, as always, is how few houses are available for sale in their price range. The barn is great, but pricey. Good job on negotiating!
Trumpington is a good house. Congrats Docs one and two.
lucks lane ,excellent Phil
definitely a win for the young couple and so heartwarming of the seller to choose them over the investor at their own expense
We always had Christmas pudding with brandy butter (butter,icing sugar, sherry and brandy whipped up)and cream to cut the richness. Yumm.
Yorkshire pudding is served with roast beef with lots of gravy.
The second house with the doctors had a chair lift! Buy it!
In Northern Germany we generally buy and not rent. Dilapadated and with rennovation jams, we buy and work like crazy. My horse moved into our barn a month before we could move into our Farmhouse.
I‘m confused about the prices, 350.000 doesn’t get you much in Germany either.
and that party house is a freaking mansion! That would be millions here in the south of Germany. From when is this episode?
@@ratioetscientia2015
the UK is a bonkers market ‼️
spending nearly 1 million £ ?
+ you need to COMPROMISE ❓❓
"I know what you're trying to do" (Phil)
I laughed + laughed 🤣
Incredible advice + "reads" from our favourite pair 👏👏
Love their banter 😎
Great interview. It's slowly starting to come out. So NZ about time you did the same. As a Nz, I'm waiting.
What video are you commenting on?
😂really shows how difficult it is to get on the property market when two doctors are looking at purchasing ex council estate house. A house than needs thousands to bring it up to date.
It’s not ex local authority
Two people at their stage of life moving into something so HUGE... That older couple won't be there for long before it becomes way too much to cope with. I often think people are buying a dream or vision or imaginary lifestyle and not being the least bit practical about what they actually need, can use, can afford to maintain, will have the health and fitness to care for, etc.
Really enjoyed this!
❤ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤
Is he actually thinking that the garden at the barn is too small? I may have forgotten what he wanted in a garden. Horses? Orchard? Vineyard?
What year was this? Those prices are cheap!
2015
800.000 and not able to find a house!
Because the “ i wants”! Very sad!
Phil and Kirstles,
Our beloved English Lucy and Ricky. You can't buy or sell chemistry 😊.
I lived in Cambridge you can get so much for this price at a better location
Both of the couples needed reasonable commutes though.
I'm surprised that they didn't like the schoolhouse. It was so impressive. But, not to them, I guess
Comme on dit en français: " Le ridicule ne tue pas... mais il met mal à l'aise..." D'où les dernières images.
I have already seen this before.
Ok
Yes the barn conversion was horrible i agree.So cold,dark and the windows were so tiny.I couldnt live there
This place heating in winter….
I don’t like it when Kirstie dresses Phil down like she does.He’s so lovely
It's part of the script for the show. They obviously respect each other and enjoy each other's company.
They have been best friends for decades
Louise is the boss................
Why do doctors in the UK need to move every 3 years?
The barn conversion is a cold, unfriendly place. Didn't like it...
But there are ways of actually making a space like that more cosy. It's simply a matter of Interiour Design savvy. You split the area up into areas/rooms (not with walls), and you have LARGE beautiful carpets that define an area, a big comfy sofa with big inviting armchairs. Side tables with lamps, a bookcase with books and interesting pieces on it that personalize the room ... then good Art on the walls. Then suddenly, it's an inviting space where people want to gather and relax.
I agree. And I felt sorry for the guy; I think the woman wanted a status symbol rather than a home.
@@andreaandrea6716 ... and the heating bills will be astronomical ... the furniture can look liliputian ... (Of course money can solve all of the problems, but then why live in a barn?) Nope, they didn't seem up to it.
@@lb8781 Heating is DEFINITELY an issue.
Agreed
Way too many adverts!
A grower 😂😂😂😂😂
Just say NO
stairs not at all good for kids....................
TWO (2) only bathrooms for FOUR bedrooms is not acceptable, especially as that conversion is recent and at the price of 850 is far too much. If I remember it is immediately next to a road, negative point again. Don't get carried away just because......
Two doctors are shown that horrible dump…..good job Christie NOT
I’m getting a little tired of Kirstie’s constant criticizing and potshots!
Haha, it might be cheaper and better in Germany, but then you would have to live in Germany! There is a reason why they are in England. I've lived in Germany and Cambridge and I know which I would choose.
minute 0:33 great backside view👍🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Ms. Doc needs a hair wash.....................
Is this show about the hosts or the people buying? Too much blabbing
Both lol
The big problem with Cambridge is that appears to be a hot bed of lefty wokeism ?
But if that’s where your job is, you don’t have a choice. You can’t just uproot yourself to rural Northern Scotland.
I live in Cambridge moved here 26 years to work at the University & I do not think that is true at all ...
