For those that missed it, Phil did say the market had turned. I can't remember the exact term, being only semi sentient at the time. It was only the demanding female that kept me awake & amused, but even so, I seem to have absorbed the basics. The compliant bloke was in IT and I think he worked in the Reading area. With any normal person's luck, he'll be burned out in ten years and never see his Cornish sailing pad.

The extent of Kirsty & Phil's 'influence' was surely revealed when the couple went off and bought that awful bungalow, on an alpine slope, next to a busy road. I think they deserved it, and each other.

That bungalow looked like sh*te!! No tweeking in the inside will make it look any prettier from the outside. I know, I lived in a place that looked like that once!!:o
A sloping site near a main road......all they seemed to think about was the size of the plot. I can't imagine the outside space will be much fun when it comes to mowing and living, as my last house had a sloping garden and we could never sit in a chair outside without toppling over.

I had a short break in Fowey in November. Lovely place, with it's quaint narrow Cornish streets, but the reality is that you can't park outside your own home there in most cases. There is no parking for most of the homes or hotels, including the property shown tonight. They have to park some distance away. The dream is often a nightmare when reality sets in!

Someone should do a series following up the people involved in Krusty 'n Phil's "successes". It could make interesting viewing once we've reached the bottom of the HPC.

Better still - let Krusty 'n Phil do it!

Knowing our luck about this type of program, the hubby will be on here this morning defending his wife.

I'm going to say I was drunk and plead insanity, don't know about you lot.

Oh my god that blonde woman needed shooting - talk about stuck up your own !!!!!! And he actually looked like he could have pulled a nice bird - I am sooo confused

That fella was an embarrassment to the whole of the male gender. I would have kicked her sorry ArZe into touch ages ago, she was hardly the 'catch of the day'. I could have understood it if she looked like Cheryl Cole, but she looked more like Bruce Forsyth.

What has happened to 'real' men these days, it was like he was been taken to school by his mum and being told off for being a naughty boy most of the time. Never mind who was wearing the trousers that guy was still in short pants.

If my wife hates the place then it is a sure indication to buy, I have bought 3 properties in recent times that she hated when I bought them, prior to being refurbed, and always ignored everything she says. When viewing a property the only thing that I'm interested in from the missues is her signature on the paperwork, a couple of glasses of wine sorts this out instantly. :money:

Surely some people will always have to relocate

Does anyone know if viewing figures are available, series by series? I'm just curious if they are going to be down for this one?

I started to watch it, assuming it would be "different" in light of reality. I turned it off after around 10 minutes. The amounts are the same; £500K did they say? No mention of how the couple acquired that amount, nor cash/mortgage split. Well, not by the time I turned it off.

And I took an instant dislike to the first couple. Did I hear correctly? "Three homes in five years..." As if they have made oodles of dosh in that time.

Edit: Just remembered. That bit about a "second home in Cornwall" annoyed me too. As if nothing has changed. Repossesions on a dramatic rise, Buy-to-let collapse, mortgages harder to obtain, etc but CH4 manages to find this couple who are totally immune. It is just not credible.

I won't watch anymore now. And I gave up on "Property Ladder" a couple of series back.

At the end where Phil says it was mostly about improving the quality of life... :rolleyes:

Is that because the woman is so overbearing the only people willing to put up with her are her own parents and sister?

They actually said three properties in five years. Property not home

I think the producer told them to say it, told them to chuck in a few comments like this along the way.

Make the viewers think they are with it, understand what's going on in the real world.
