Remember this episode from some time ago because of Phil's splitting his pants! Good for the couple who followed their dream to negotiate upward in order to secure the house. As for the family with the 3 boys, I think they'd better look more aggressively, before the market climbs upward and beyond what they can afford.
The first house that Phil showed Dan and Kate might have had a north east facing garden, but it eas sunny....so why put so much emphasis on it not being a south facing one,?
It’s because of lack of experience. They hear having a south facing garden is the way to go and that only lends itself to tunnel vision and inexperience. Hard lessons that may or may not be learned.🤷♀️
The land on which sat the third house Emma and Paul saw was really steep. That's truly a disadvantage. But I loved the house! I liked it way more than the much pricier houses the other couple visited. I don't know why they objected to the area, but then again I don't know Birmingham. I do hope they found something to suit them. They seem to have their heads screwed down right.
This made me smile, I watch this 19:56. Phil walks past a wall, tapping it, and saying, take this down, easy... ignoring the fact that there is a radiator on it. Then at 26:24 he says the fact that there is a garage in your face at the front of the house adds to the privacy.
The English are so funny about the directions their garden faces😂! I’ve lived in multiple homes, built two of them and not once was the direction of the backyard an issue… I guess it’s my American outlook and better weather.
I liked the young couple. Rob was so sweet to his wife when they were considering putting in an offer. Oh Phil, constantly having issues with his clothes hahaha
Dumb question 🙋🏻♀️, is there no new construction in or around London? Or does new construction look like old construction? The houses basically look the same. Just curious, honestly……😊
Really a fun watch. Did I miss what Dan does, aside from work out (which he does extremely well, BTW)? And did I misunderstand that his "making it official" means asking Kate "to be his girlfriend"? No judgement, I just want to understand what we're working with.
@@Asphodel27oneYou need to stop burying your head in the sand and get with modern life. Nothing to do with you if people are married or not having kids and buying a house
That massive garage in front of the house was off-putting. Kate was hard to please, but here I had to agree with her. I would have wanted to tear it down if I had bought that house.
(20:32) It's obvious to me! Kate is afraid to express what she feels/thinks ... because there are things she doesN'T like and she feels as if she isn't allowed to say "I don't like this." or "This simply isn't big enough." or "It doesn't FEEL right."
@@noelleewen2946 ... well, that's another way of looking at it. I don't disagree. I live in passive-aggressive land and, personally, can't stand it (drives me nuts). But I do get that she feels like she's not allowed to say what she dislikes (not that that is true, but that's my sense). It makes so much work for other people...
Hey American viewers, did you see- all these houses DON'T have a clothes dryer, only a washing machine. Brits hang up their towels, jeans, sheets indoors when it rains. No kidding, so dark ages. I always had an American dryer living in UK.
I've never seen so many cloned homes. What do you have to do to identify your own home as you come back from the shops? Every home looks exactly like it's neighbor. America is doing the same. I blame Levittown N.J. after WWII. Dull house after dull house for miles.
If Paul added up all the money he has spent on his silly collection, they would have more money in the bank. He needs to grow up. My Gid, 3 kids and a 200,00 budget!!
Keep in mind that the UK is considerably smaller so housing is more at a premium. Also, it depends on where in the US. Oklahoma or Kentucky, sure. Anywhere people would actually want to live in, no lol
I think she's the only bread winner of the house, so she's a bit cautious about where her money goes. He's just happy to stay home and work out and walk the daughter to school.
I think your very judgmental, I didn't sense any aggressiveness and unbearable is quite extreme. They're in a situation where there's dozens of houses in their budget so they don't need to buy the first house they see. Being particular about the biggest purchase of your life is pretty common.
