I've watched endless episodes of this show, and this is the first time I've seen Phil so obviously irritated. Sue will never be happy. The first clue she was going to be trouble was that she was ok with her sister living in a "renovated" shed for nine months so that she and Alan didn't have to compromise on the house they bought.
@@forestfields not only huge, but perfect !! Couldn't believe how they were changing their minds every houses they were (or weren't for that matter !) viewing... I don't know how Phil is that patient with people like this
What a great phrase! And yeah it's not easy to get used to a smaller space but she will have to if their budget can't stretch. Or live elsewhere where it's cheaper and maybe more rural (like Welsh borders or further North). Kirstie's couple were lovely.
Agreed. But! They discounted the one because it wasn't in the area they want, so they're not going further out. Sad. Maybe they should just move back to Oz@@BritGirlJay
Yes, Shelia was so positive and made a massive compromise over the garden because they could get the other 80%. Sue on the other hand - I shake my head...
I am astounded I cannot believe the attitude of that woman from Australia. I would think she would have been ashamed to have this full public I don't blame her sister for selling the house how else is she going to get rid of them
Sheila and Jason, just an adorable loving couple, but that Sue doll is some piece of work. My heart went out to poor Phil but he remained the perfect gentleman, love the program so much.
That Sue is a real piece of work...and I think that she knows that she's the problem of why they can't find a house...and it's as if she thinks that it's all a big joke
Who goes on a TV programme to find a house then won't even view😏....and who lets her own sister live in a shed while she lived in the sisters house! Wow ! 😯
I'm so happy for Sheila and Jason! Such a lovely couple.... As for the other couple, one of them is a spoiled brat that is very much used to getting her own way. Not much of a happy life with so much strife, but I think that she's addicted to creating obstacles.
I've had cats for over 40 years and live near a main road. Constant traffic deters cats but living on a very quiet lane can catch them out if a speeding car gets them.What a stupid woman. Get a house with a back garden and fence a large area for the cats to be out in. A very difficult woman to please I would imagine, poor husband!
All the houses look lovely and spacious. Nothing a little renovation can't fix if the house is right. Sheila and Jason are so lucky to find a home to grow old together. A tiled garden is not as calming as a green garden but it can be done up and the house seems clean. 😊😊
Cats are safer indoors. That said, we had an indoor outdoor cat and live on a very busy intersection and the cat was fine. We transitioned our current cat to be indoors and he's very happy.
Hats off to Phil for keeping his shit together with these people because I sure wouldn't have. How rude to not even go in when he had spent time and effort to find them a home. They were terrible to work with, constantly changing their idea of what they wanted.
Siempre digo que Phil es un profesional , nunca pierde su compostura, ese tipo de parejas son tan común que piden mucho y NO TIENEN DINERO se nota demasiado 🤷🏻♀️
@@malanz1000 They rented in a specific area and fell in love with the area and decided they wanted to stay in the area. The bought a huge fixer upper in the area and renovated it.
Alan and Sue were not obligated to purchase or even like any of the houses our lovely Phil chose show to them. Sue was neither rude or even unpleasant - in contrast to the hatefest accumulating in the comments. Seriously, check yourselves.
Sure, but when you buy a house, you have to compromise. They kept changing their criteria and in the end they didn’t want to compromise on anything. They wanted a big house with a big yard with no renovations on a fixed budget on a quiet street close to friends and family. What’s even crazier is that they were in an urgent situation where the house they were living in was going to be sold! That’s insane to be that picky when you’re going to be homeless!
@AFAskygoddess If your choice was to be alone in the converted (they did mention) shed or in the house with sister Sue... you'd then pick? Yep, we'd all choose the converted shed.
@@pearlsherriesamuel1242 Yes, Kirstie doesn't take s--t off anyone when they are being stupid and stubborn. There's a disadvantage to being a gentleman. A woman doesn't have to be a gentleman. Kirstie could probably square away that awful woman.
Newsflash to the Aussie couple: If they can't afford a ready made house in their ideal location, what makes them think that they can afford to build their ideal house in their ideal location? During the land search, planning and building, they'll be paying rent for a long time. So their budget for a new home will be much smaller, unless they can talk another relative to move into a shed and loaning them their house. 😂
Alan and Sue have got to be the top contender for Worst Couple on Location x3. Annoying, entitled, and gross. Royal taste on a pauper budget. Why did Phil apologize?!
I'm so pleased that the lovely older couple, Sheila and Jason, have found their new home... surrounded by family and loved ones in the end. Truly deserving. As for Sue, with hubby and moggies being dragged through her demands kaliedoscope, you attract what you put out. Stress and inflexibility... begets further stress. Please, take NOTE how the lovely couple put out... and received. As for poor battle weary Phil? YOU, dear sir, deserve a medal the size of a sewer plate.... for tolerance and patience, above and beyond the call of human capability, in dealing with the likes of Sue. Much admiration Phil... a virtual hug being sent to you. There, there Phil. Sue is NOT your fault.
She probably is never happy with anything Life throws her way !!! Imagine making your sister live in a shed - sister probably put her house on the market to be rid of these two...LOL
Indeed. . .Phil should be automatically made a Saint!! On this one, after little Miss I'm Not Going to Compromise was perfectly ok with her sister's willingness to compromise and sleep in a shed, maybe homelessness would have been a good teachable, not to mention humbling moment! Insufferable. She was already fortunate in having the money making possible the purchase of a home and having choices! She needs to volunteer in a homeless shelter, although that would require her to compromise. . . . . . . . . . . .
What a sour person that Sue is, homesick in Australia and not willing to be happy in England, god, poor guy married to her, at least Phil can walk away........some people cannot be pleased I guess.
PS Shall we all have a whip-round and pay for Sue to go back to Australia?!! Their loss at having her back would be a massive gain for us. Her only redeeming feature is that she likes cats.
The place that backed up to a golf court would've had so much space for an enclosed catio. Keeps the cats safe and entertained, and the wildlife safe from cats.
Funnily enough, they bought a fixer upper. They rented in a specific area, fell in love with the area and bought a house in the area, and did extensive renovations on it to get the house they want.
I have a friend, a single widow, still working in her late 60s who struggled to find a rental for herself and her dog a couple of years ago. She passed on some great suites closer to her work because they didn't take animals. She finally found a place 1/2 an hour's drive from her work. 3 months later her dog died. Now because of the outrageous rental prices and inventory, she is stuck where she is.
I can't even watch this whole episode. I hope Alan and Sue swing by and read these comments, because Sue, you're a thoroughly unreasonable person, to a point that isn't funny at all. If you were a prospective client I'd never take you on, and I've taken on some fussy, fussy people. But they've been people who actually knew their own minds and wanted to get something done. You're one of these people who thinks that if they just go in the garden and eat worms Daddy will be a long to pick them up and comfort them and give them everything they wanted plus a lolly. Just no.
Honestly wondered at times if Sue and Henpecked Husband decided to be on Location Location Location as a wind up with no intentions of purchasing a home. It's rare that I've been as irritated by a contestant as I was by her. That twisted up mouth that was ever evident as she found fault with home after home was almost too much to watch. I can't believe they wouldn't even go inside one house!
If they were responsible cat owners they wouldn't be letting their little felines go outside. The statistics are unequivocal that indoor cats have a lifespan that is triple that of cats who are allowed outside. Not to mention how brutal domestic cats are on the bird population.
I've never held any views on cats (pro or con) until I read that they kill 2.4 billion - with a "b" - birds each year in the United States. Source is the American Bird Conservancy, but some sources put the figure as high as 4 billion.
The boxes never seemed to end. At the last house, which seemed to fit all their prior criteria, he suddenly threw Ascot (Ascot!! Good luck with that on their money) into the mix, and she was this close to saying that the narrow staircase made the place unacceptable.
If Sue & Allan owned that house in Australia, I'm sure it was 3M. Wondering why they only have 450k to buy a new house? I felt bad for Phil. And she's so rude "NO" !!! I liked the 2nd couple.
Alan and Sue's problem is, they didn't tell Phil what they really wanted. In fact, I'm not sure they even knew. That is fine, it happens, but watching them finding fault after fault with each viewing, even refusing to look inside one house, makes really frustrating TV.
Oh, Sue knew what she wanted. She wanted to plop her Australian house in England. Alan was a bit less fussy but he still wanted to plop an Australian house right near a pub.
first couple: find a place to rent or a hotel. good luck when your money is gone, too late to wake up then, eh? wow, how special are they>? By the way, cats should be in a catico or something. British were first to realize they are killers and they jump fences with ease.
For the Aussie couple, that 3rd house which is a bungalow had everything, a beautiful layout, turnkey, curb appeal, and great price. What more did they want? It's not like you go drink with the buddies every day. I would pick that house, it was nicely done.
I live in America in a new build with large rooms and open plan. I am always amazed at all the doors in older English houses. I know it is for heating.
It is for heating but also because these small houses used to be home to extended family such as grandparents and aunts/uncles over the centuries and doors were needed for separate spaces. I’m a British Canadian and once procured a great house for friends who emigrated to Canada and they remodeled and put up walls and doors throughout the house!
I live in Canada which has a lot of similar houses, but I have never liked open plans. I _love_ doors and walls. It comes from having grown up in a house where there was no privacy at all.
Personally, open plan is my worst nightmare. When I'm cooking a large meal I do not want people underfoot. When I'm serving a 5 or 6 coarse meal I most definitely do not want my guests seeing the mess in the kitchen, because there is no way I am washing dishes between courses. Plus I love having a formal dining room as well as a more formal reception room, rather like rooms that used to be known as drawing rooms.
I think the impossible duo was trying to replicate what they had in Australia in their mind, that's why none of the houses ever quite fit. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
I don't think Sue wants to find a house. No matter what Phil finds her, she adds another box to tick so the house is still wrong. She's doing it on purpose.
