Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It Season 11 Episode 2 - Episode 2

Airdate: 2026-Jan-14

Episode summary:

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help Karol and Richard with their tired and impractical three-bedroom bungalow in St Osyth, Essex. They bought their home in 2022 after Richard's long-term prostate cancer diagnosis, hoping that single-storey living would ease future care but the practical plan has sparked tension. Karol is ready to list it. She's fed up with the dated décor, the tiny kitchen that can't fit the washing machine, and the single bathroom. But Richard is convinced that these issues can be solved. He would rather use the £22,000 potential moving costs to improve their house, but after 18 months of stasis, he needs Kirstie's help to find a way forward. Working with a £60,000 Love It budget, Kirstie proposes an internal reconfiguration to bring balance back to the home. But with Richard adjusting her plans from the beginning, she must draw on all her expertise to keep the project on course. Meanwhile, Phil faces his own challenges, finding sun-kissed gardens to satisfy Karol and enough kitchen storage for Richard, all within his £525,000 List It budget.
