Escape To The Country buyer issues scathing nine-word takedown to BBC host – rejecting every single property after spotting major ‘red flag’

Escape To The Country buyer issues scathing nine-word takedown to BBC host – rejecting every single property after spotting major ‘red flag’

A buyer on Escape To The Country issued a nine-word takedown to the host after she rejected every single property they presented. 

The BBC show saw Lizzie ask Alistair Appleton for help relocating from London, where she had lived for 20 years, to Suffolk, in a recently aired episode.

Her father had pᴀssed away 18 months before and since then, she had wanted to move closer to family. 

Lizzie had a budget of £500,000 and was hoping to find a property with two bedrooms. 

Her mother, Sue, who already lives in Suffolk, joined the marketing manager on the show to help.

Alistair presented the pair with four possible properties, but none of them managed to fully meet Lizzie’s expectations.

Though she seemed particularly taken by the character of the final abode, when Alistair asked, ‘Any red flags, anything worrying you?’

Lizzie replied: ‘I think it’s potentially the light, so might have to think about it, but that’s part of the property really, isn’t it.’

The trio sat down together at the end of the episode to discuss the situation and Alistair asked, ‘Did we hit the nail on the head with any of our properties?’ 

Lizzie curtly replied, ‘I don’t think you’ve quite hit the nail on the head.’

She went on, ‘I think the third one was a really interesting property and it might be worth us going back and having a look at the village a little bit more…

‘I think there has been a consistent theme with all three properties that the ground floor works slightly better than the second floor.’

Her mother commented: ‘I think you probably need a lot more space upstairs than we’ve seen.’

Lizzie added: ‘But I think what has been really useful, I think you’re helping me crystallise my thoughts.

‘And I’m wondering whether actually going forward, it’s about a small market town for me, or a slightly larger village and that’s where I think the thoughts are starting to crystallise.’ 

Another previous episode saw a couple left ‘dumbstruck’ and in tears after viewing a ‘mind-blowing’ property.

Sarah and Dominic were hoping to leave their home in South London for a fresh start in the countryside, ideally in the High Weald. 

Before their search began, the pair had a strict list of requirements for Alistair Appleton, 55, to adhere to. 

The couple had an impressive budget of £1.1 million and were shown two gorgeous houses during their property search. 

However, it was the mystery house in the Kent village of Biddenden which left them both blown away. 

Escape To The Country airs weekdays on BBC one and is available to stream on iPlayer.
