Rural Retreat vs. Stylish Town Living - Location Location Location - S12 EP3 - Real Estate TV 

We were in the USAF for 20 yrs. My husband was deployed for 9.5 yrs of that 20. When he got out it was hard having him around 24/7! Luckily on our house hunt we agreed on everything. I’m happy to say w we’re still together (47 yrs) & still love our home

I just like seeing the different pubs.. it is like a pub tour..

Many episodes have people saying 'putting their own stamp on it' ... just move in! hang the paintings you have, fill the bookshelves with the books you read, put your granny's china in / on the sideboard ... plant peonies in the garden ... those things are your stamp ... no need to crash walls down ...

This was really enjoyable; such nice, thoughtful, loving people. ❤

I am an ex-military wife and I also served 2 years myself. We bought a house a few years before my husband finished his 22 years, we were in West Berlin at the time. We bought near my parents so they could keep an eye on the property whilst we were away. It was far better to do it early so that we weren't rushed into anything and it was definitely the right thing to do. Everyone who serves in the British forces knows when their release date is so it is so easy to get organised without last minute panic.

For the 2nd couple, I think the 385k bungalow was a better option. It was turnkey and still left room for one to put one's stamp on it. It didn't need a total redo like the 1st one. For the other couple, I loved that 2nd rural 4-bed house they chose. Would have picked that as well.

Binge watching from the USA. Love this show🤩

This has been one of my favorite episodes!

Just saw the first house Kirstie showed her couple. At first blush the outside is 70s bland, but the inside is huge. At the front, removing some pavers and planting gardens would transform the front completely. There is PLENTY of space to do so. The back garden looks nice, too. I love that the kitchen is large enough for a table but that there is a dining room as well. The bungalow in Pennington is, for me, an absolute no brainer. I love the look of it, and the bits at the back could be made work. A lovely homw

Brilliant! Lovely! THANK YOU!!!! These absolutely make my day and I'm sure this is true for so many others out there!! Blessings!

Loved this and what Gentlemen ..loved the country house and views , was very concerned about the big project ..it would have taken a long time I think to get it to a good standard .

Interesting houses , as well as dynamics.....a follow up here would be great

"Not a looker...." those awful bright blue garage doors on the red brick are nothing a coat of paint couldn't rectify!

Don’t understand when they say there is “nothing “ to do. There is plenty of opportunity to “pick up a paint brush”. I think Gillian has no idea how disruptive a true project is. Redecorating alone would probably make her happy.

Fun as usual. At the end dear old phil was a bit tipsy. He referred to 2 coppers😄

You two worked hard for both those couples.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓🥰🤗

As an American, the first house Kirstie showed them was much more attractive than some of the Victoria terraces or the ones with yellow brick. Though I don’t care for the spiral staircase!

Thank you for adding the year !

just charming show....your clients and their diversity....your knowledge and friendship, I find myself nodding and smiling at RU-vid, ...Bravo

I wish for a property agent like Phil in Singapore

Nice purple shirt, Phil!

Phil does love a negotiation doesn’t he?! His face lights up like a kid at Christmas!! 😉😈😆😆🤣🤣😂😂❤️

A great episode and i loved Phil's purple shirt

Vintage K&P!!! 2009 Excellent.

The last offer of 389K was rejected, so let's offer 382.5...?

It’s not a huge garden, it’s a paddock.

Well done Phil.... South Africa

Nice couples...

Loved this episode!

Big Phil was half-cut when he was negotiating that deal 😂

I wonder if these couples are still together

I agree.

Ian is so handsome. Just saying. Not to be rude, but how did she land him. They seem to have nothing in common. She's a lovely lady. She's looks a lot older than him.

Feel a bit sad the husbands have no opinions. Whenever something goes wrong they can say "well you picked it!" Would want a partner more involved in creating a home together.

Ian ,left his kids and they are very young and another one even younger ,poor kids and x wife ,watch out di

Are they buying a home or looking for an investment ?

For a man who wanted a place to hang his hammock, he bought a house with no trees. And where was the garage? The other couple should have increased their offer. A military man currently working for Cunard could find the money.

I have to say I love this series, but this was the MOST ANNOYING, AGGRAVATING EPISODE I'VE EVER SEEN!! While both of the women genuinely seem very nice, they were really getting on my nerves. I understand that you want what you want. But for the couple who needed a bungalow, The third house was huge, with the enormous great room. There was plenty to do in there. The garden/backyard was absolutely beautiful. That wife was crazy. Why would you want to go to the expense and trouble of a renovation? Especially when that house was so great. That's a lot of work and I doubt they have the money to make any project that compares to that house. As far as the couple who needed space for the kids, I don't know what that lady was talking about saying that when the kids come and their partners? Excuse me? I take it partners means friends? I don't know what this means, because I'm from the US, but I wouldn't buy a house thinking about children's friends. If she means when they grow up, their marriage partners, I think that is too far away to think about. Anyway, you said you needed 3 bedrooms and as Phil said, this house had 4 bedrooms plus a large garage. The second home they were shown was pretty good too. Personally, being a child of the 70's I kinda liked the very first house!! lol. True, it doesn't have the period features, but size matters, in my opinion, especially when kids/teenagers are present. Also, they didn't say it, but I was wondering, if this woman is contributing to the purchase price of this home, since they have only been together for 4 months, it seems a bit premature to buy a home together, with the woman having such a say if she isn't providing significantly toward the purchase as well, because it is entirely possible that this relationship won't last. In both cases, I think the men should have been a little more verbal. As a woman, I get the saying: Happy Wife, happy Life. But these two, while very nice, SEEM not to be thinking clearly or not being realistic. I guess I will try to finish watching the episode now. I am unsure if I can though, because I was just too outdone!! I hope I don't sound mean. And I hope they all get the house they ultimately want without regrets later.

Drunk phil😂😂

Why does everyone look so old? Sort it out! 🤣

Good grief. How do you do this job. 😂😂😂

Phil is drunk at the end... lol
