Location, location location - HOW MUCH?

[Ubik1]

jeezo
This is insane.

Young people forking out £££ for tiny conversions.

[BackforGood]

Agree about the ridiculous prices.
They used to go all over the country, which was far more interesting. Whenever I tune in now they always seem to be in London, which wears a bit thin after a while - I'd like them to help people with ordinary budgets.

[wideboy26]

Savanna is coming across as a bit fussy to me.

[wideboy26]

Loving the Plaxtol house. I grew up nearby and it is a lovely village. Nice pubs too.

[Neffi]

I missed the beginning of tonight's. Where'd they get they money from?

[WonderingAspie]

Both bought houses in London and obviously made a huge profit and they have worked hard and I think they have good jobs so could get a large mortgage. That house was amazing!

I did love the bathroom in the other house too but the downstairs was way too small, didn't like it at all.

[lostinloz]

Investing early and saving hard apparently Neffi.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

So surprised that Savannah and her boyfriend liked that house consider their super-fussiness,"I don't like fast sink!"
The couple with the £1.5m budget were lovely.

Also watched Nish's episode (yoga teacher) and now wonder whether Phil can do basic maths. He knew someone has already offered around £407k. They then offered £413k minus £7k service charges that the current vendor would pay = £406k to the vendor. How was that a good offer? Vendor obviously pulled out when he did the maths. She had £415k the asking price to spend so for the sake of £2k just offered that. I found that episode confusing.

It is insane - 5 miles out of York, gorgeous village, excellent schools, 3 bed semi,conservatory and garage, beautiful country walks......... £150k

[Trills]

They used to have people on with normal budgets.

That could easily be rephrased as

Houses used to cost less

They've been doing the show for 15 years.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Yes houses now cost more but the houses on LLL are always way above the national average.

[BackforGood]

Yes Trills that is a small factor, but mainly they used to film all over the UK. Now they seem to only film in London.
Outside of London, there are lots, and lots of places you can buy property even if you don't have £400K ++ to spend.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

loving this weeks - local to me

i eat in the white rabbit lots :)

£200k will buy a 2/3 bedroom in that area and other couple for 1/5million i would expect and want more then 3 bedrooms

[annandale]

Woah wideboy, I grew up near plaxtol too will have to watch it now.

Not many pubs left, the rorty crankle is long gone. The Golding hop is for sale on rightmove as a going concern though. Hold on, were they featuring it on LLL?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Lovely houses in PLAXTOL - plus fab butcher with lamb/mint sausages

'blonde drools'

Havnt got to that house yet .......

[millimat]

But surely the point of LLL is that outs to help people who are struggling to find that certain house, typically because they're in places where houses are high in demand. High in demandb= high prices?

[228agreenend]

This week was local to me also. It's always fun to play 'Guess where the house is' and 'spot the familiar landscape'.

[BackforGood]

Never used to be millimat. They used to help people for all sorts of reasons, from people just being nervous to buy their first property, to couples who couldn't agree, or for people who were moving area and weren't confident about the best buys in the area.

[mollie123]

I know it is a bit obsessive but I tried to find sales results for the plaxtol house - doesn't appear in recent sales so I wonder if it fell through.
It seemed a lot of money for a house among other houses and with only a 'share' of the 8 acres plus woodland. Doubt the other 'sharees' would agree to 'glamping' on any part of it.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

They said on the show that the sale price was "confidential" all very odd.

[Vixxfacee]

I love this show but it annoys me. I see people of my age (I never know exactly how they got a 'whopping deposit' or what job they do. They rent somewhere but somehow can buy a house for £350,000 -£1500000!

[228agreenend]

Bi looked for the Plaxtol sale also and couldn't find it. I wonder if it was too recent to show on the housing sites. I loved the Plactol house and wanted it for myself < stamps feet>

[228agreenend]

Disclaimer - I don't have £1.5 million to spend on a house, or anything else for that matter.

[annandale]

Might have been a private sale?

The hilarious moment was when they tried to make the Plaxtol house sound like a 'project'. Oh yes, it's an absolute wreck. Because you fancy a different colour on the walls.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Was a beautiful house but funny how they accepted neighbours as in the other 4 houses

Also weird only 4/5 own the woods

Was trying to work out where it was - I think it was turn at the church and down that road somewhere

Some amazing houses there worked in one as a nanny

[Blondeshavemorefun]

But were a lovely couple

Ps if you are reading this and once have children and need a nanny then message me
