Before anyone freaks out, this episode is from 2000. That's why the prices are so cheap. And, honestly, no one should expect prices to be the same for 22 years, lol.
Interesting that Kirstie Allsopp instead of her sister Sophie is on this show. I had seen only Sophie on a show but I knew she had a sister that I never thought I'd ever see.
LOL Thank you for posting that...because I literally was freaking out! ...Can't find a 500sqft 1bedroom apartment for under $800'000.00 in my neighbourhood.
It’s really sad and gives one a sense of despondency seeing how crazy the housing market has become for first time buyers. In today’s inflated and economic crisis, young people wanting to become independent is almost impossible within larger cities. It just seems so unfair and virtually means a life of renting until or if they receive some kind of inheritance.
Oh my, having been a devotee for many, many years this one is new to me….wonder how Kristie and Phil would feel about comparisons, not only in terms of then and now, but property prices as well. Good grief, absolutely astounding changes.
Yes. To be honest, I hate shopping - especially shoe-shopping - which I think would make Kirstie gasp in shock. But I think that she's the only person I've ever 'encountered' who could make me love to go shopping (maybe not for shoes) as long as she was along. She seems like such fun.
I will never understand why people are so crazy for living in the city - the prizes nowadays are ridiculously high - nobody can afford it and to buy with the knowing that I have to spend most time of my life to pay that off… it is even more ridiculous to me. But hey - everyone to each his own. 😅
Because I am ridiculously sick and I need to reach a hospital as quick as possible when I need it. Driving from 20 minutes away from a city would endanger my life.
@@calliope2009 You realise that you will spend as much time in town as you would out of town getting there ... If you ARE ridiculously sick and your state of health if life threatening a helicopter will do hundreds of miles in 20 minutes. FAIL.
I'm not a fan of having to commute a long distance to work, and even less of a fan of living too far from other amenities, from supermarkets to hospitals. And you don't have to get really rural for that to be a problem - I know of suburban areas locally where you need a car to run out and pick up some milk.
Oh there they go again, sticking granny in the attic, doing their best to wear her out going up and down 2 flights of stairs for meals and vieits to the loo 🤔
Actually, at first I thought the same as you, but then I understood what the term "professional house hunters" means. Kirstie and Phil look for houses for buyers, but they don't list homes themselves, like real estate agents do. So they are, literally, "house hunters."
I'm assuming young professionals are making a fairly decent salary, but London prices are ridiculous. It's no wonder people have to rent. Still, if you can save some money and get yourself a mortgage, you're better off than renting. It is determined by short term thinking or long term thinking.
Yes, this is over 20 yrs ago and I was a child when flats were going for this price, so there was never any hope for me, but speaking as a Londoner, the prices are crushing my soul. I don’t recommend checking the prices of the flats mentioned in the video 🥲. Also! It’s funny watching old eps and seeing the horror on peoples faces about possibly renovating, it’s so normal now thanks to Phil and Kirsty (which is good or bad, I suppose, depending on your view)
How can one leave out THE ONE who created everything?! 🤔 You can verbally leave HIM out, you can mentally leave HIM out , but Almighty Creator God, is Judge, and we will ALL- like it or not-- stand before HIM, in the judgment.
Are you serious?!?!? This outdated episode is well over 20+ years old. Such prices have long since ceased to exist in London. Another giveaway is those ancient mobile phones.
I LL OO VV EE these hunting episodes ...i am so passionate on estate and the two agents are so smart competent and very honest. Sorry i would have express myself Better but o. Note native eng speaker....thank you for sharing these stories 💛💛💛🏘️🏚️🏡
I enjoy the old episodes. We don't get this show on TV here so it is great to see them uploaded onto RUclips! Thank you for the video!

But you can't get a place in those areas for the equivalent in 2022, not even close

Kirstie
I knew it was old when I saw that Polaroid camera. Ah! The good old days.
If I knew Kirstie, we would be best friends, love her visions & forthrightness. 👍👍

The camera work on this episode is terrible. It gave me vertigo with the camera being swung all over
“Professional house hunters” a.k.a. real estate agents 😂

9:49 I can't believe Kirstie is sitting on the arm of the sofa WITH HER BOOTS PLANTED ON THE SEAT! How rude and inconsiderate can you be!?
No. She's in her stocking feet. She KNOWS better than to do something as gauche as that!
I couldn't believe my eyes. For someone who grew up quite posh, with with her daddy a Lord, and the former chairman of Christie's, she's so tacky.
Very happy to see and hear all the changes with this since 2000. This was awful. The newer programs are great.
Try CA. People. 5000 plus.
Kristies feet on the sofa??? Not a good real estate agent look
Why does Kirstie think it's cool to put her feet/shoes on people's furniture ?
5oooo plus to rent.

Wait, is the buyer showing a nude drawing, loving it because it reminds her of her mother? I'm done.
Artist 😏
Phil Spencer is so so so dishy
HOOD FOR HER…! 🤔😃😃👣👠
..,Emjoy your new home; ESPECIALLY while you “put YOUR stamp” on it…!
I saw this one over ayear ago….
Leave GOD out of it please.
