Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Love it or List it is a 60-minute programme hosted by property experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer. Each programme features a family struggling with a common dilemma: their home doesn’t work for them anymore and one side of the family are keen to stay and make their current home better; but the other side of the family want to sell up and move. The great news for anyone involved in the show is that whatever decision they make, they have two of the top property experts on their side and by the end of the filming; they will have a newly renovated property to either live in themselves or to place on the market.

Kirstie will try to show the family that they CAN make their current home work by transforming it (Love it). Phil Spencer will attempt to demonstrate to the family that the best way to move forward is by selling up and buying a new home (List It). The programme will see the current home transformed, with the help of a design team led by Kirstie (using the homeowners’ own money) as she shows them that Loving It is best. The couple will also see 3 homes that match as much of their criteria as possible with Phil, as he tries to sway them towards team List It. At the end of the programme when they’ve seen all three houses with Phil and their own home transformation is complete, we will ask what they are going to do: Love it or List It?

WHO ARE WE LOOKING TO HEAR FROM? 

We are looking for families who own their house and who have money in place to fund the renovations on their property. Raise the Roof Productions does not pay for any of the work carried out in your home as part of the series, so you must have these funds in place already. Kirstie will offer considered suggestions on your renovation, with input from an architectural consultant (please note that you may still need to enlist your own architect) and a stylist/interior designer. Phil will provide you with some hassle-free house hunting and advice.

PLEASE NOTE: FAMILIES APPEARING ON “LOVE IT OR LIST IT” MUST HAVE A REASONABLE RENOVATION BUDGET. RTRP WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS INVOLVED IN THE RENOVATION PROCESS OR FOR MAKING SURE THAT ANY PERMISSIONS/CONSENTS ARE REQUIRED.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

It is important to note that our priority is not to exclude people with vulnerabilities or mental health concerns unnecessarily. Where adequate provision can be put in place we will do so, with the applicants’ welfare being of paramount importance.

If you prefer to answer any of the above questions in confidence to a senior member of the team, please let us know via email lioli@raisetheroofproductions.com

As we would like to represent all communities across the UK on screen, please let us know your household’s ethnic origins by putting an ‘X’ in the box/es next to the appropriate group/s or just writing it in the box.

Please note, ethnic origin is not about nationality, place of birth or citizenship. It is about the group to which you perceive you belong. If you’d prefer not to say, please leave blank – this will not affect your application.

We are also keen to represent other forms of diversity such as disability. Under the Equality Act 2010, a disability is defined as a “physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on an individual’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.” An effect is long-term if it has lasted, or is likely to last, more than 12 months. If you’d prefer not to say, please leave blank – this will not affect your application.
