Season 41, Episode 6

The dynamic property duo catch up with two sets of house-hunters who wanted to make the switch from London life to family life. In 2016, Cara and Ben realised that in order to have the space they wanted they'd need to move out of the capital. Keen cyclist Ben discovered Bishop's Stortford when he was out on a bike ride, and the couple moved into a rental property there so that they could get a feel for the town before they bought. With the surprise arrival of baby Max, and their rental lease about to end, they were desperate to buy a place of their own. Phil showed them just what they were looking for, and as fate would have it, just around the corner from their rental. Kirstie and Phil catch up with Cara and Ben to find that they've expanded to a family of four and the house has had a serious makeover. In 2020, Tom and his Floridian wife Kaitlyn were still house sharing with Tom's old schoolfriend in south London. Desperate to find their own pad to start a family in and even with a healthy budget of £450k, the couple had been struggling to find everything on their wish list: three bedrooms, character, lots of outside space for keen gardener Tom, and the 'American-style' large open-plan living space that Kaitlyn was used to. Even with Kirstie and Phil onside, none of the properties they saw hit enough of their marks to make the couple want to offer, so Phil advised them to expand their search area further east into Kent. Now, Phil's back to see how they're getting on

Kirstie Allsopp (Presenter)
Born: August 31, 1971 in London
Best Known For: Co-hosting Location, Location, Location.
Early-life: Kirstie Mary Allsopp was born in London on August 31, 1973. Her father is Charles Henry, 6th Baron Hindlip, and former chairman of Christie's. Her mother Fiona is an interior designer. Kirstie has a brother, Henry, and two sisters, Natasha and Sofie, who is also a TV presenter. Kirstie attended several schools during her youth, and spent time in India teaching English. After returning to Blighty, she took a series of jobs before forming her own company, Kirmir Property Search.
Career: In 1996, Allsopp pooled her talents with future co-star Phil Spencer to found Garrington Homefinders, before moving into TV presenting in 2001, with the Channel 4 series Location, Location, Location. Since then, she has presented several series of the show, as well as a spin-off, Relocation Relocation. She has also co-hosted (with Phil) a countdown of the best and worst places to live in the UK. Away from property-hunting, she has written several books, participated in Sport Relief Does the Apprentice and presented shows on making home-made crafts. In 2008 she was voted the 91st sexiest woman by FHM magazine.
Quote: On her elegant TV image: "I think I'm fat and ugly and clothes that seem to work off-camera look like a dog's dinner. I come across as a posh Sloane, but maybe that's what I am."
Trivia: Due to her father's peerage, Allsopp is entitled to call herself the Honourable Kirstie Allsopp.
Phil Spencer (Presenter)
Born: December 11, 1969 in Littlebourne, Kent
Best Known For: Location, Location, Location.
Early-life: Philip Cuthbert Spencer was born on December 11, 1969, in Littlebourne, Kent, and grew up, the second eldest of four children, on his family's farm. He was educated at Uppingham School (he eventually became head boy), the alma mater of such luminaries as Stephen Fry, Donald Campbell and Johnny Vaughan. Phil initially considered joining the army, but trained to be a surveyor and worked as an estate agent before setting up Garrington Home Finders firm, a property search agency to help buyers with property search, negotiation and purchase process.
Career: It was his promotion of Garrington and the concept of using a buying agent to find a home that led Spencer to become the co-host of Location, Location, Location and Relocation, Relocation alongside Kirstie Allsopp. The duo have become one of TV's most successful double acts and have fronted various projects based on the property market. Despite having helped numerous celebrities find homes, Garrington Home Finders Ltd eventually went into administration as a result of the recession. Spencer's TV career continues to flourish, however, and he is a director and shareholder of independent production company Raise the Roof.
Quote: "I fundamentally believe the long-term trend of house prices will be an upward one. But all markets are cyclical and we are currently in a downturn. It won't last forever. We live on an island with a housing shortage and an increasing population."
Trivia: He writes for several magazines and newspapers, including GQ and The Sunday Times. He has two sons.
