Thanks for the video! ✨
Great. A new video. With hiccup but lovely ending.
Stockbridge where the Edinburgh botanical garden is is about 3 mi from City Center. Of course The apartment in your budget was teeny tiny… Also, I didn't know you could work for a US company and live in the UK. I'd love to live an hour from edinburgh in one of the coastal towns.
Poor Kristie for having to deal with picky James. WHO I think might really be gay. My Gaydar is going off big time with James.
340 for stockbridge for a 3 bed, that's asking for a lot!! just move outer a tiny bit
Cramond is close to sea. I'd move there in a minute. I think they will love their new home and area!
Thankyou!
I’m disappointed that the American couple were brave enough to move several thousand miles away but couldn’t see that just a few steps further out of a town they could have had that property they decided to pass on. How ironic that they found something different within the same town that the wife couldn’t quite come to grips with during the search. I think the house Phil showed them was a better buy but that’s what happens when you get in your own way. Best of luck to
A wee bit misinformation, Stockbridge is about a mile from city center plus the botanical gardens or in goldenacre/cannonmills .👍
Looking at the floorplan of that first house with two bedrooms, I wonder if they could knock together the utility room and the storage room and take some space from that front bedroom and make a small, but usable third bedroom? That would also eliminate those two doors opening out into the hall which would also be nice. They could put the laundry into the storage room in the back bedroom.
Congratulations Chandy and Tom! What a lovely house.
Chandra & Tom really like Stockbridge but its outwith them financially they should look at Portobello, fast becoming Stockbridge mark 2 – its knee-deep in Barbour jackets
Thank you 🙂
Choose Life! Way to go, Phil, Trainspotting was such a good movie. So glad someone else agrees with me! Edinburgh is such a beautiful city, and the flats are gorgeous. Lovely episode. Thanks for the upload.
(16:05) "Woof" … you couldn't get much more sterile than this.
Must be a tough one for you Kirsty to welcome Pip's assistance. Can't say I blame you though, those 2 haven't a clue what they want… yet! You crack me up and give me giggles. Thank you for that too.
Lovely episode. Thank you.
The third properties for both couples were the loveliest.
I don't like the property tom and Chandra bought at all, but not my money, not my choice. However, the look on Chandra's face tells me she doesn't like it either.
Why the hell do we have to put up with the same bloody adverts all the time! So bloody boring!
And my tiny 250 sq ft . Studio flat in Notting Hill has just been valued at 330k ….hmmmm🤔
Enjoyable episode, apart from the moments I had to listen to the typical american vocal fry that sounds like a granny with a bad cold.
I live on the west coast of Scotland and people don't realize how small and acccessible this UK island is. I can go from Glasgow to Edinburgh in under an houron the train. In the states it can take that just to get to work in some areas. Here, I've traveled from one coast to the other in that amount of time. They could live in any surrounding area for less and train in @ 10 min. They'll figure it out. This is also an older episode so they may have all moved on by now.
I could never be a realtor, so much indecision my god! they need a therapist not a realtor. 😅😂
If you are in a wheelchair now you probably wouldn’t be alive in the 1800s.
3 bed flat in Stockbridge for £340 000. Haha. No chance. Haha! Ha!
We live in 3 bed flat in Marchmont = £425000. And it was a shithole when we moved in. 16 years aGO.
Were heads roll off
As a student years ago used to rent a basement flat in Lesley place Stockbridge (cheap then) same basement flat now mad money,,,its half a mill….weird one ,,it transpires my grandmother years before,,at the age of 14 lived their in the same basement flat as a serving girl. It was the one town house back then.
5 minutes in and as soon as I hear their requirements and budget I'm creasing myself laughing…….£340k in that area of Edinburgh is tenement city and will get you if you're lucky a top floor 1 bedroom tenement flat. Relocated to Edinburgh in 1994 and have knowledge of the local property market.
I can’t stand these two so glad I don’t have a tv anymore

Edinburgh is fast becoming another London where working class locals are being priced out of their own city.
When was this programme made? It doesn't say but the property prices are so cheap.
The property near Dalry in the 27:09 – Hidden Gems in Edinburgh’s Suburbs section is 3 Laurel Terrace. In the programme they state its for sale at offers of £295000 with the estate agent suggesting a bid of £325000. Looking at the Scotland Land Information service it sold for £314500 on 3rd May 2017. https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/property-summary/MID58774
The property is in one of the Edinburgh colonies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_houses).
The property downstairs next door at 8 Laurel Terrace sold for £450000 on the 3rd October 2024.
https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/results?searchType=prices&postcode=eh11+1ny&sortBy=address&sortDir=asc
The American couple bought their home for £315000 in June 2017. The house 3 doors up the street sold for £435000 in June 2024.
James just doesnt want to live with his girlfriend. Plain and simple.
I absolutely LOVE Kirstie & Phil!!!! They are perfect together
