A brand new series of Location, Location, Location kicks off, just in time for its 25th anniversary. And, in this opening episode, the searches come with a twist. Kirstie and Phil are searching 200 miles apart and across two nations. They may have very similar budgets, but they're in very different markets. Kirstie's with sisters Amoke and Ines, whose £375,000 budget should get them a two-bed flat in the buzzy parts of north London. But the horror story of their search to date is one of the worst Kirstie has heard in all her years of searching. In some competitive parts of town, the sisters will need some vision to see what a home can become - and when Kirstie shows them a top-of-budget three-bed with real potential, Amoke and Ines need to decide if they will take on a project to secure their dream flat. But nothing about this search has been easy, and Kirstie senses a difficult negotiation ahead. In north Wales, Rachel and Leo have £400,000 but, in a very different market, Phil needs to find a four-bed detached house with a garage and a large garden for them and their two young kids. With Leo in the army, this is set to be their first home together away from forces accommodation and they both have high hopes for a stunning family home. Ultimately there ends up being two houses in the running, so Phil needs to help them decide which wins; and, importantly, how much to offer so they don't lose out.
