An amazingly difficult search. Both parties have champagne tastes on a beer budget, and the young couple don't have a clue of how to get on the same page. Period cottages have small rooms. Period. Buy something with a loo downstairs for dad and even a bedroom downstairs for sis, and get on with it. Have a children and realize that you can't take care of sister, too. Find a place near your son's school and get on with it. When circumstances change, sell and buy up.

'Good enough' has always been my watchword for house buying. It's rare to get everything you would like (for me it was entrance hall, large en suite and kitchen diner lol). My current house in the US is the same - close enough to things I wanted even if not perfect (small bathrooms, average kitchen no room for table or island) but great garden, great quiet location, good sized main rooms. You have to go by your budget and not your 'wants' too - I couldn't afford the house I really would love but the one I have works for the budget I had.

The cottage with the garden in the back and the field behind that with the beautiful view was delightful. The garden was lovely and backed out onto the countryside. Is she looking to grow a field of corn? I feel like she was imposing her will, and then her partner backed her up by stating they would like a bigger garden. it had a nice large living room with a fireplace also a very spacious kitchen. Plus it had the easy access and decent sized bathroom, which would be so essential for her sister. I just don’t get where they’re at. The guy seems sweet enough, but his partner is so demanding and also perhaps it’s both of them that keep switching their tune. I think the mother with the young son is just plain indecisive. She might be better off if she let him go out househunting alone. that was said tongue and cheek, but only slightly. Also, why move an hour away from school? Could they be in the country Half an hour away. Was it a budget the constraint? She perhaps has a possibility of buying because the need is quite pressing, and she did make an offer on one place. As to the couple I think they’re going to be at her parents’ house for the next few years minimum.

I'm disabled and use a power wheelchair everyday. These are the basic requirements you need for any house. A zero entry to get inside. A bathroom on the first floor. Now bedroom on the first floor with ensuite would be ideal but if you can, then you need a straight staircase upstairs with a chair lift to take you to the second floor. First floor in UK speak. There you can have a bedroom. This couple is not thinking in terms of accessibility. They want a character home but those often include steps and small rooms and pathways. Usually in the UK there's only one bathroom and it's on the second floor. Phil was awesome not thinking in terms of accessibility. He only showed them one home with a ground floor loo. And none of the rooms on the ground floor were convertible to a bedroom. That's whack. Why was he not showing them bungalows? That would have made more sense. If it was because their budget couldn't afford it then say so. I'm not surprised they didn't find anything that spoke to them. All the properties were inappropriate for their needs. Phil knows better. When there is a wheelchair you have to go with ground floor access to the most needed features. The kitchen, the bedroom and the bathroom. Everything else comes second. As for the single mom, I don't understand why she held on to that house on the market for a year. The courtyard garden was ridiculous. Way too small and all full of concrete. That's not a garden. You can handle the small spaces of the kitchen and the drawing room on the first floor but that street is way too busy. I wouldn't hold on to that house as an upgrade to her current living situation. And I doubt she was able to find a property that suited her. Life at home with the grandparents is probably just too good. Her son gets along with her parents. And so does she. She'll probably inherit the house instead of buy one. Kirsty at least tried. And she showed the mom a lot of decent properties. It just wasn't meant to be. Sometimes these shows are a waste of time. But I'm going to fault Phil for his lack of an accessible househunt. As a disabled person, this is something that is completely underserved in the home market. I would like to see more of it in these shows.

The couple had been the ones searching for a home. I think that a homes true priority for them was confusing as it changed a bit . Wheelchair access may have been mentioned however with each house Phil had shown, they didn’t make mention of those features being absent so…..you can only do so much with the bits given to work with. Buyers like the three featured in the episode need a host who can go pull out the wand but that’s a different show. The Second Lady with the house she was wanting to buy, her family sure helped her dodge a bullet. I’m not sure what I thought the house she really wanted was going to look like but yikes, dungeon anyone? Dreary and drab. No life in the home and no good

An episode that seemed to be the case of simply wanting to be on tv, not actually having assistance in hunting for property. It isn't often that there are two complete loss "buyers", but this one certainly was a complete "loss" - particularly as there were a couple of excellent property prospects for each "buyer". (And the one the mother was supposedly stuck on was *not* a house to purchase until you had a lot of extra cash to throw at it - because if you smell "damp", there is "damp" and usually a lot of it through the walls, etc. And you could SEE the effects of "damp" in the enclosed garden. She was a lost cause.) It would be interesting to know what, if anything, either "buyer" did in the long run. (Or whether the "couple" was even still together.)

The younger couple: he keeps talking about "our own little family" - code for "me, her, our kids, no in-laws, no wheelchair accessibility." She thinks she ought to want a home of her own, but doesn't actually want to move, because she doesn't want to abandon her sister. I see three possible endings: build a tiny not-accessible house at the bottom of her parent's garden where he can get away; they split up; the sister ends up in an institution after the mother dies.
