Edinburgh house-hunters featured on Channel 4's Location, Location, Location

Location, Location, Location headed to Edinburgh's Morningside and Juniper Green this week, as two couples shared their demands for the perfect home.

In the 39th series of the popular property-hunting programme, hosts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer headed to Edinburgh to suss out two homes in a fast-moving market.

Guests Sadia and Sohail were aiming to break the shackles of flat-living with Kirstie's help, whereas Phil was helping Freya and Elliot search for a home with plenty of space and a front door.

However, both couples were heading into 'picky' territory, as they had desires for certain aspects of a home, while not wanting to head out of their comfort zone or budget.

Morningside was the aim for one couple, whereas the other pair were also focused on keeping within budget while getting their own front door and back garden in the centre of the capital.

Many viewers were sick of the phrase "social space" by the end of the episode, as one Twitter user wrote: "Location, Location, Location - a couple get shown a beautiful half-acre garden and one of their thoughts is ‘Is it big enough to have friends round for a barbecue’."

Another was surprised with the budgets of the series, as they said: "Nice to see #locationlocationlocation showing affordable housing again. Just the £825k budget to kick off a new series.

"Really annoys me when one of their criteria is ‘walking distance to a pub’. or ‘close to a coffee shop’. Really not a top priority in a house search."

A third joked: "My home is my private space, the pub is my “social space” #locationlocationlocation."

A fourth added: "Househunting for me involved a huge number of taxi drivers asking 'why do you want to live here? Many drug dealers'.

"I hope this happened during production of #LocationLocationLocation."

Location, Location, Location returns to Channel 4 on Wednesday, May 17 at 8pm. Catch-up episodes are available on Channel 4's website.
