Location Location Location Filmed In Chiswick

Couple helped to find their dream home by Phil and Kirstie

Several well known parts of Chiswick were shown during the latest edition of property show Location Location Location (Channel 4) this week.

The programme focused on two sets of first time buyers, one couple, Kat and Ed, had been renting a one-bedroom flat in Chiswick and were keen to remain in the area where they played a lot of tennis and golf.

Presenter Kirstie Allsopp set out to help the couple find a place in 2009 when they had a budget of £300,000 to spend. They were shown a property near Devonshire Road which needed total refurbishment but declined this. She also showed them a two-bed house in Isleworth but they were not keen. She then brought them to a West Ealing maisonette priced at £289,950 which was ready to move into without any major work. An offer of £270,000 was accepted and the couple decided to purchase.

Fast forward seven years later and when Kirstie and Phil revisited Kat and Phil who were still in the west Ealing property, which is now worth £555,000. They had carried out a lot of work in the garden and just been granted planning permission to build an entrance from their first floor maisonette into the garden.

Despite having to leave Chiswick the couple, now married, had made a life for themselves in nearby Ealing.

The programme can still be seen on Channel Four catch up for the next week.
