Private Notes
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help a Croydon couple look for a holiday home on the Pembrokeshire coast as well as a property in the M4 corridor between work and their new Welsh hideaway. The pair are determined to find two detached homes, each with a large garden, but their £380,000 budget does not stretch very far.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help a couple locate a property in Devon, where they can use water, wind and solar power to achieve carbon-neutral living. This means they have a long list of requirements and the search area has to be doubled to have any chance of finding what they want. To add to the challenge, the pair also need a flat in Brighton.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help former fireman Richard Thompson and his pregnant wife Laurie buy a home in Felixstowe, Suffolk, and a holiday retreat in southern France - two locations they have never even visited before. It is left to the property experts to find something to suit the couple's conflicting demands.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer assist a newlywed couple, Rosie and Andy, looking to move away from Hertfordshire commuter town Tring. They have found new jobs in Devon where they hope to be able to spend more time together and pursue their passion for watersports.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help Johnny and Lynsay Davies and their two young sons move away from London and find a place in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help pilot Matthew Vardy and his flight attendant wife Louise find a family home in the Northumberland countryside so they can be close to relatives. The only drawback is the 300-mile commuting distance from Northumberland to Heathrow, so a flat in the south is also desirable as an additional stopping point.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help a couple who are moving to Budapest for work reasons and also want a place to stay close to Luton airport, with easy access to rural Hertfordshire where they previously lived. The property experts find a number of stunning homes in the Hungarian capital, but pleasing the house-hunters proves challenging.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer assist a London couple with three children who want to move out of their cramped three-bedroom terrace and into a family home on the Essex-Hertfordshire border. However, they also hope to buy an investment property in the capital's East End.
A year ago Phil and Kirstie were on a double mission to help eco obsessives Sue and Neil start a new double life in Devon and Brighton. But has the green dream become a technicolour reality?
Phil and Kirstie head off on a sunny sail over to the Isle of Wight to revisit Dean and Sam Brand, the young couple they helped to find a new home and business for, back in 2003. At the time this young couple were fed up with the hamster's wheel of the daily grind and wanted Kirstie and Phil to help them flee the Midlands and head to what they described as a "magical isle". But this couple didn't just want a house, oh no, the Brands wanted a new business and a place to live, all for £320,000.
Four years on Kirstie and Phil are back to see whether life in their favourite holiday destination is living up to expectations and they're in for one hell of a surprise. Dean and Sam called time on the pub plan and have got a new business. Have they made the right decision?
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer revisit Jenny and Morgan Williams who swapped the buzz of Brighton for the peace of the French countryside. The artistic couple wanted to spend weekends and holidays in the remote Limousin region, and also bought a home in Crawley, West Sussex, so they could continue to work and attend college in the UK.
Phil Spencer revisits Ady and Andrea Guthrie, who moved from London to Lancashire 18 months previously, to see whether they got what they wanted or let their dream house slip away. The super-organised couple appeared to have a clear idea of what they wanted, but their five-year plan was beginning to founder on the practicalities of renovation and changing priorities
Phil and Kirstie are north of the border on a hair-raising mission to help two desperate house hunters dealing with the mother of all commutes. Dan and Tracy Lunnon-Wood tied the knot three years ago but, despite hundreds of hours searching, countless offers and thousands spent on surveys, they're still scouring the north of Scotland for their first ever home together.
Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer catch up with James and Vikki to see how they are managing two years after moving from Croydon, Surrey, to Woodcote, Oxfordshire.
