Kirstie and Phil have shifted their focus to the West Midlands, specifically the areas of Sutton Coldfield and Solihull. Kirstie is with designers Karen and Richard, who are working with a fantasy budget but can’t seem to get over the hump. They relocated from London to be near family and are now looking for a renovation project in the Sutton Park area.
With a budget of over £1 million and nine offers, including one that was $150,000 above asking, this family of three is growing increasingly anxious about finding a place to call home.
Kirstie quickly learns that their highly tailored requirements do not align with the housing stock, and that not even their budget can rectify this. She takes them to one place that is nearly perfect, but they’ll need to do some serious bargaining if they want to buy it.
Phil’s friends Camilla and Liam have a hard time scheduling showings because the real estate market moves so quickly. Camilla, a nurse, and Liam, a claims handler, would like to establish a family but are hampered from doing so by their current living situation and the rapid pace of the housing market.
Camilla’s night shifts make it difficult to schedule viewings, and the 13% increase in housing costs over the past two years has made it difficult to afford anything. Two candidates remain after intensive consultation with Phil, but swift action is required to avert more disappointment.
Viewers will see new homebuyers navigating the volatile housing market. Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer’s reassuring guidance is more important than ever as anxious purchasers grapple with rising loan rates and other costs of living.
