SO GRATEFUL FOR THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!! (I am struggling right now with all the horrible things happening in the world... I can barely sleep at night with the stress. THESE are my vacation from all of that. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am very, very grateful).
Please relax. All your worrying will not change a thing but a happy, relaxed positive outlook/attitude will generate more positive energy for the world. What we think about, we bring about.
@@reejan8109 I cannot sleep knowing that children are being bombed in Gaza. Intellectually, I know that what you say is true. I KNOW that being unhappy does not help them. I know that I cannot be miserable enough to make them any safer. I know that death is not the end. I even know that focusing on what is GOOD, brings more good. I know a lot lot lot of things... but I am also human, having this human experience and... I HURT. I am shocked that the US is sending money and arms to Israel. SHOCKED. Deeply un-nerved by this.... and by the fact that most people walking around, around me, haven't a clue... or don't want to know, or deal with it, or say "...it complex." (No. It's NOT. We have to STOP killing people. That's all. That's it.)... and I'm sorry for all of this, which I'm sure you didn't need to hear but I cannot shut-up about it. ❤ (... and that's why this video is so important to me. It's a break ...) ❤

Abba wouldn't necessarily have to build a wall. She could buy a flat pack large open shelving unit to divide the two spaces and she would look very chic
Loved the flat Abba bought! I always wonder why a lot of Brits want “period features”… to me all I think when I hear that phrase is old and needs a lot of maintenance! Modern, low maintenance all the way for me 😅
Period features in the UK usually means higher ceilings, bigger windows and beautiful details like fireplaces, floorboards / tiles, cornicing, etc. Which isn't for everyone, but culturally, it's often what feels homely. 🤷As for maintenance ... all houses need that at some point, and that's what the survey is for ultimately.
Always live in the ugliest building in the neighbourhood because then you have a view of all the charming buildings and landscapes whilst everyone else's view is your dowdy building :D
I think sometimes, people look at a room and dismiss it, that's the beauty of Phil and Kirsty are so helpful is they can suggest work arounds ...love this show and I know this isnt pc but I do also love that Kirsty is WOMAN shaped 🥰
Living in Canada and having watched so many of these videos, I don't understand how a vendor can either back out of a sale or take a higher offer once one has been accepted...another thing I don't understand about the UK system is why it takes so long to take possession of a property...very strange...
NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH: (of a person) unattractive in appearance. BRITISH ENGLISH: (of a place or surroundings) simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home; unsophisticated and unpretentious, e.g., homely pleasures
it is great that the two buyers got what they wanted. What's depressing is knowing that Kirsty's rather relatively positive view of Brexit has not panned out. More than the pandemic, Brexit has been very bad for the Brits and the British economy...
That’s perfectly understandable. Many people want to leave within reasonable distance of their parents. Being independent doesn’t mean you have to move 100 I’m away
I know people keep commenting this but for real, when you put a house for sale, all personal items should be put away. One of the flats the sisters viewed was full of not only furniture, knickknacks and so on but everything left in full view in the bathroom, shower gels, deodorant, loofah…this is what NOT to do if you want to sell, it’s off-putting to the max.
@@FarmerJAB You want a prospective buyer to imagine themselves in that house, make it a home in their minds first. Not imagine someone’s dead skin cells in the shower. I can see past the clutter too and look at the bones (rooms size, layout, etc) but that doesn’t make it very inviting.
Both clients had similar budgets but were shown really different properties. Only 15K for 2 more bedrooms makes no sense. The Sisters were given better options than abba.
Also, keep in mind the differences between the locations and buildings. It’s not a like for like comparison. Not to mention, Abba doesn’t need three bedrooms lol.
@@thehungrygoldfish couples with contrasting personalities or people with unlikable ones for example makes it a more interesting, fun experience which it usually is.
@joannahampton5979 No divas for sure, but contrasting wants is interesting to me. I enjoy seeing how they can compromise. I've seen interesting people/couples that are kind, considered, and thoughtful that are funny & interesting to me but not boring. As they say...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@joannahampton5979 Yes but then people complain about them, lol. How is it possible to get people who are not boring but aren’t picky or divas or have unrealistic expectations? There have been a few episodes like that but then people complained they were weird and odd and not normal. Like, seriously, what exactly do you people want?! lol
Such lovely positive people and a great outcome for all! Just love Kirsty and Phil! :D
Good choice Abba, great investment. Happy for you.
Love these shows Kirsty and Phil work great together………..🤗🇨🇦
I watch this just so that I can hate it, the banter between Kirtsy and Phil is cringeworthy, it’s toe curling

I guess I just like having my toes curled. 🤣😍 Call me crazy!

Love the way Abba dress! What a lovely video with our favourite Phil and Kirsty.
This was in 2016? I would love to know how things have gone for them. Great episode! 😊
Same 😊

BANIJAY! can you load the new series for ALL the viewers in th U.S? I love your channel!❤
There’s another channel that already does that.
@@thehungrygoldfish where?
@@corvettesbme Roldan Margarito Keep in mind that the newest season just started. He’s also uploading ones from 2019.

@@KensAlpaca ok, then what do you want me to do then? lol
All those properties are worth at least 40% more 8 years later, so they did well !
Really enjoyed. Thank you
Lovely to see buyers with vision and realistic expectations 😊
wow what a JOY!!! - realistic and successful people - and of course, Kirsti & Phil top it all off - SUPERB
Nice episode, thank you :)
Abba wouldn't necessarily have to build a wall. She could buy a flat pack large open shelving unit to divide the two spaces and she would look very chic
What a fab idea! You're totally right. Ikea has great, stylish and FUNCTIONAL open shelving.
Indeed!
It was nice to see such positive house hunters 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
❤ Phil n Kirsty great duo
I love this show.
Thanks for sharing old seasons.
Please load the new series or any episode for that matter! Thank you so much, Great channel, Great show!

I used to live up the road from Beckenham - a LOT of flats there in pretty decent surroundings.
I think sometimes, people look at a room and dismiss it, that's the beauty of Phil and Kirsty are so helpful is they can suggest work arounds ...love this show and I know this isnt pc but I do also love that Kirsty is WOMAN shaped 🥰
Why can't I have a Phil and a Kirstie in my life??
Phil is a yes. But Kirsty can be judgemental and arrogant - her way or the highway
A bit of a roller coaster ride! Nevertheless, it all worked out in the end.
Thank you.
Good to mention service charges
Be careful in South Norwood and Thornton Heath,
It's a little rough
Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving 🤦♀️

I would like to know how is the market now in May 2024
Phil blushing about the no pants comment. So adorable.
Phil’s pock shirts are good choice
"Homely" in UK must be like "home-y" or cozy, homelike. In USA it means ugly
NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH: (of a person) unattractive in appearance.
BRITISH ENGLISH: (of a place or surroundings) simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home; unsophisticated and unpretentious, e.g., homely pleasures
That is saying in the usa Champagne taste on a beer budget
it is great that the two buyers got what they wanted. What's depressing is knowing that Kirsty's rather relatively positive view of Brexit has not panned out. More than the pandemic, Brexit has been very bad for the Brits and the British economy...

I do not want to live with mom and dad but i do want a house not to far away?
Huh?
That’s perfectly understandable. Many people want to leave within reasonable distance of their parents. Being independent doesn’t mean you have to move 100 I’m away

Agree. But personally I can see past the clutter. Not everyone can though
@@FarmerJAB You want a prospective buyer to imagine themselves in that house, make it a home in their minds first. Not imagine someone’s dead skin cells in the shower. I can see past the clutter too and look at the bones (rooms size, layout, etc) but that doesn’t make it very inviting.
And they thought Brexit would have a big impact on the housing market. Little did they know what was yet to come...
Brexit’s had an impact on lots of things - availability of medicines, trade, commerce, cost of living etc etc
@@FarmerJAB And Covid on top of that...
Both clients had similar budgets but were shown really different properties. Only 15K for 2 more bedrooms makes no sense. The Sisters were given better options than abba.
They were looking for different things though. Three people vs one, a child to consider vs none, not the same tastes...
Also, keep in mind the differences between the locations and buildings. It’s not a like for like comparison. Not to mention, Abba doesn’t need three bedrooms lol.
Abba? Well thats a strange name, fir a lerson! nice music they make though
And i want a small place near the bars! Really?
🤦🏻
He might think YOUR name is strange (some of your spelling is) so reread your post and don’t throw stones
Boring house hunters make for boring episodes.
Boring?🤔
Isn’t that a good thing? lol. If I were on the show and got called boring, I would take it as a compliment.
