I drink lemon everyday too, George. To avoid acid on my teeth, I use a reusable straw. I really enjoy these type of vlogs where you guys just go through daily life. Really enjoyed meeting your new friends. Lucy, you crack me with your honesty with George. End of the vlog club, member since 2015. God bless!

Low monthly payment but they don't tell you there's a big payment to be made at certain point in time. Also, it's hard to sell a condo here without a parking space. With the government phasing out POGOs, there will be a huge surplus of condos for rent. Condo prices will adjust down from over supply.

Condos there are easy to buy, with relatively low monthly payments and even no down payment terms, which is the only way most could ever afford to purchase. However, hard to sell, as financing is not as accessible there and most cannot pay in cash, especially at the current over inflated prices. Add to that relatively low rental returns. The Phils. does not have a mature secondary market, so very different than in the UK. It is really hard to compete with the developers terms. Glad you can see the positives from when you lived there making yt content etc. which I enjoyed. Good luck!

When you are looking for a condo, every real estate agent will tell you its a great investment even if its not the case 😅

We have been watching your vlogs since we’ve moved here in the UK 4 years ago. We miss the Philippines terribly and seeing you guys enjoy your time in the PH esp the food made us miss the country more. ❤ We always look forward to watching your videos, esp now that you’re back in the UK. 😊 My birthday is comin’ up end of this month btw. 😊 -Dianne & George

I have lived in MM for over 38 years , like you both I am from the U.K. the big problem is MM is flooded with new apartments. My apartments I have had to lower monthly rent to keep them rented. So no quick sell in the Philippines

End of vlog club 🙌🏻 I’m excited for your garden. This is our second year having one and it’s amazing 💚🌻 we have grown everything we need to make sinigang (except the yellow chili we put to spice it up a lil)

Do not feel bad, Lucy and George. Just make the price reasonable and it will soon be sold. Professionals from Makati will surely be interested with that property. Personally, I would not buy a condo in that area that's just 600m from the faultline, but despite that, so many wants a property on that part of Metro Manila. Best of Luck!

End of vlog club 😀 It's nice to see a different aspect of being a vlogger and some of the background stuff that happens. No sign of Koda. I presume he has gone travelling and left the parents at home!? 🤣 Best Wishes, Kevin. X

The Condo market in metro Manila is so saturated, quite literally tens of thousands of Condo's for sale at ludicrous prices, it makes no sense to buy at these insane prices.

What you are seeing from your condo's balcony is not Laguna Lake but rather the Laguna de Ba-i or Lake of Ba-y (as Laguna is the Spanish word for "lake" which also is the name of the adjacent province). Ba-i or Ba-y (pronounced Bah-eeh) is a town along the lake shore of Laguna, hence the name the 'Lake of Ba-y' or Laguna de Ba-y.

So weird seeing you guys back and vlog in England 😅 normally ur always out in the Sun in Philippines now ur back in a cold and wet English weather 😅,

Real Estate investing. Buy a property Building, Condo, and House, not raw land in a good area. Never sell. Sit on it for the longest time to rent it. Again never sell unless you are willing to lose. If you buy and sell, be a real estate agent and don't buy properties for flipping.

For someone that is paying for a Condo in Pasig... and lives in the UK... this was a great video... but... OMG... you took soooooo long to get to the point... I almost fell asleep... get your doing a vlog... Wish the whole video was just on how you got the Condo... what the process is like... the location and size... and pros and cons... how much you got it for... how much your selling it for... did you make a profit... or not... think this subject deserve more of a focus... not bothered about Yogurt.... Have some B roll of the Condo... never know might help you sell the Condo... Not sure your selling the Yogurt... agree with your misses that looked wrong...lol Weather wise... UK does suck.... Global Warning defo didn't get the memo...

Lucy's accent I remember the viral girl british accent complaining the price of the ice cream for 9 pounds for 2scoops

Always wear sunscreen. Idk what you’re researching but most dermatologists would agree you need it at least for your face.

Do not buy a condo as an investment especially in Metro Manila.

Just arrived last Saturday from Philippines and I will be staying here in UK for a month, hopefully there will be more Sunny good weather. Just not to feel sad and not moaning coz of the weather I just look at the positive vibes that were still lucky compared to other country that experiencing flooding, not enough food, no NHS,. We also have bought in uptown PARKSUITES and we regret it so expensive. Am starting eating unhealthy food here like cheese sausages cakes biscuits chocolates that I can't get in Philippines. Just enjoy while Ur here.

Raw milk and cheese are the best. We have to go to a co-op to get it because it’s kind of not permitted in the regular grocery stores.

❤❤❤ you are professionals You followed you passion and you master your craft ❤❤❤ very nice place ❤

Mike from "Making it Happen" has been trying to sell his condo for 10 months. The problem is he is trying to make a big profit at 30 million PHP. He would be smart to ask for what he has invested in it and move on. I seems like everyone is trying to make a large profit off theses used condos but can not compete with what the developer of new construction can offer.

Toronto weather is the same! It’s been raining a lot - we had flooding issues in the city causing power outages. It disrupted our subway and above ground trains. We complain about the weather on a daily basis as well, so you’re not alone.

why not have the condo listed for AB&B or Verbo for income while waiting for a buyer ? or just hold on to it ?

You are right about fat, it is very good for you. My husband had brain surgery two months ago and the surgeon told me he wanted my husband to eat two eggs with every meal, that is 6 eggs, he said the cholesterol in the eggs is very good for the brain, so we eat a lot of eggs as well. I am also on a very low-carb diet and eat a lot of fatty meat.

we only have raw dairy in our house. I wouldn't touch the pasteurised stuff! so many other things are pasteurised too. honey and eggs include. we only buy raw honey from local farms and pasture raised eggs from friends too. If you want to save money, try and find a local farm that sell meat. we pay a third of what we paid from our butcher. love that you're waking up to so many things! very true about the sunglasses. for a natural suncream I sure 'shade' completely natural and only 4 ingredients 🙌

Can I ask you something George and Lucy, where do you really want to live and feel at home more England or Philippines?

You are looking well we’ll come to England guys you been eating well in the Philippines!❤

It's okay, the garden can wait. One space at a time. I wish we could buy your condo. It will be a while for us to retire . Enjoy the rain and Happy Summer.

I hope some of your subscribers in the ph would get to visit you there sometime.

my fav couple vlogger!

I feel like this is more of a WISE commercial than an actual vlog.

If you are living full time in these country's its ok to invest if your not its cheaper to rent for the period you stay . These places are meant for expats over priced

Hi George & Lucy! I'm a long time subscriber since you began vlogging. UK is my dream destination and planning to travel there next year. I'm thinking of seeing London, Costwolds & Edinburgh...such beautiful places to explore with rich historical backgrounds. Perhaps you can show your viewers these places on your next travel? I watch your vlog 'tii the end always...😊

It's easy to buy a condo in Manila but, selling is problematic. My friend has the same problem as yours.

End of vlog club member here! I missed seeing Koda! But still loved watching you guys. ❤❤❤

Nope... I don't watch your vlog til the end.... I watch your vlog endlessly so bring it on 😂

If you're a beach person better have a townhouse not cost a lot and its easy to live quiet and fresh air for me manila is verry crowded 😊

Hi, kindly advise the area (sqm) and price of your condo. Thanks and God bless!

These places are are lot easier to buy than sell

Bog off!! instantly recognised Chelsie! 😂

Crocs for Koda! Yay! Lucy, get some for you too mama! They are the comfiest! 🫶🏼

I made an offer, but my post was deleted. Weird. Cannot make it easy to sell

You have a great investment. It's all about what you said earlier, selling it to a fair price! It takes patience to find the right buyer, but ROI will be worth the wait. Your target markets for your condo unit are the rich students, foreigners and Filipino's with a lavish lifestyle. I think you need another avenue for payment deal of the unit, because it could be a downer if the buyer is not familiar and not accustomed with new methods and prefer the old method of payments. Also, UK is beautiful. Keep vlogging. One last, stock latex gloves in your car. In case you don't want to have a cringe worthy experience in milking a cow?

MAYBE... They bought the wrong condo at the wrong price. They should have done more due dilligence. "Buy in Haste, Repent at Leisure" (I have bought several condos in Manila area, and don't regret any of them. All rented, and cash flowing at good yields. Sold one at a good price in 2019, to buy two more.)

Never by a condo in the Philippines better buy a beach house in visayas ans mindanao never in luzon

Any idea guys what ever happened to Chris and Eve and their cats turbo and jet? All their platforms are no longer available very concerned for their welfare. Any news we would appreciate thank you.

Watching from France, climate change now, we’re experiencing the same, summer with rains 😅

There's no correlation between grocery store ( big chains) vs farmers market produce. So the " we're doing this for health" doesnt work like that . Supporting smaller businesses and buying possibly nicer quality produce? Yes. Being healthier? No.

What is the current selling price of the condo?

can you share the info about the condo? size, location and asking price?

dID YOU SELL YOUR CONDO IF NOT WHERE IS IT AND HOW MUCH i LIVE IN MINDINO WE ARE LOOKING FOR A CONDO IN mANILA.

Can you please visit Norway and create vlogs from Norway especially Oslo,Bergen, Trondheim,Geilo and Hamar

Hi George, Lucy and Koda. nice to see you with your friends. What's her vlogg name? your friend with the baby Ian?

Yes easy to buy but then can't be sold also the exchange rate you can lose millions php.

I love the area where you live. Near the farm with fresh and organic food. So great!

why not apply it in Megaworld leasing department ?

Yes. answer to title

Where is the link to your condo for sale? We're planning on buying one in manilla one day so keen to see it

George has lots of eggs in 1 week. I always thought too many eggs wasn't good for you. What happened to the second condo they bought.

You already have Koda, when will Kodo come?

Condo market has so much competition not only retail but developers.

Hi juicy vlog can you vlog about the food in Uk if it is more cheaper than Philippines?

End of vlog club member here! 😊

Where is Koda?

First! Hi my fave couple!

How much is your condo selling price now ?

Why is Koda not in this vlog? Wishing you all the luck in selling your condo.

Where is cute, adorable, little Koda?

How much you Selling the Condo?

You’re back in the UK for good, no longer moving back to the Phils?

Do you still live near Brighton?

Where is the boy?

Yea

How much?

How much it's cost?

stay where you are..

How much do you sale?

How are you guys? I haven't been here for a while.

Where's koda?

If you didn’t buy the property upon the project launching it’s hard to sell in 2ndary because many ppl here will sell their property for a launching price for a big loss 😂 I don’t understand them. Unless your property is very in demand then you can earn more or easier to sell in 2ndary market .

We suffer from hayfever here in England, but what hayfever in Philippines? 😅

i dont like to live in condos/flats im scared of heights😅

First lots of love guys ❤

Rent to own condos are ridiculously expensive. Also, if you got in-house financing, you’re sc&$&ed.

Would you be willing to sell it at cost?

good stuff!!

Missing Koda in this vlog...

Maybe there are lots of options here in the Philippines. Plus there's new development available always with easy financing 😁

❤❤❤

What does the title have to do with the vlog?

😀

You looking well to see this video

❤

We want Kodaaaa on the vlog please ❤😂😂😂😂😂

Hawk thua,.. LOL

In addition to your clothing show......uhm....wearing sunglasses during sunny days....on the long run, it (is) can be beneficial for your eyes/sight though...(this according to eye specialists)...

Try South Korea

Where is Koda? Without Koda in the vlog, it seems less interesting to watch lol

This has to be the first vlog since you had Koda that he has not appeared. What have you done with him - missed him loads.
