Viewers of Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It have criticised a couple from Wandsworth, Tim and Rachael, for being 'spoilt and demanding' despite having a £1.3 million budget. The couple, who had spent five years in their open-plan home, were divided on whether to renovate or sell their property.
With an £80,000 renovation budget and a £1.3 million house-hunting budget, they spent £50,000 adding a partition wall and building a garden pod. However, many viewers were unimpressed, with one commenting: 'Normally like this show but tonight is annoying. Spoilt couple with a home worth £1.3 million, why can't they help people who are genuinely struggling?'
Rachael, a teacher, wanted to move to a leafier area for their children, while Tim, who works in the wine industry, valued the London location. Kirstie noted that the couple's main issue was a desire for greenery, not the house itself, and suggested reinstating a wall to create a private lounge.
