Location, Location, Location viewers complain about 'picky' couple after failed search

Viewers of Location, Location, Location weren't impressed by a couple in their failed bid to find a property.

Fans of the Channel 4 series were quick to hit out at a couple as the show returned for a new series with presenters Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer.

The latest episode welcomed house hunters Matt and Sophie to our screens. The husband and wife duo were initially optimistic about finding their dream home in Kent.

However, things were quick to go downhill, much to the dismay of viewers at home. Accounts manager Sophie and events industry worker Matt were hoping to buy a property for themselves and their new baby.

Unfortunately, they seemed to have a long list of 'needs' and were in no way prepared to settle for anything less.

The show revealed the picky pair had attended over 100 house viewings in a year, but had still failed to find their perfect location. This meant they were currently living with Sophie's mum in her house after selling their flat in the run-up to their search.

But not all viewers were impressed by their determination to find their dream home. On Twitter, one user slammed: "How picky can these selfish people be?!?!#locationlocationlocation."

Another said: "After 100+ viewings, you gotta think that it’s not the housing market that’s the problem. #c4locations #locationlocationlocation."

And a third added: "Sophie and Matt were too fussy and the longer they hang around the more the prices are going up. If you haven’t found anything after 100+ viewings, you never will. Ellen was lovely and Phil was brilliant with her. Lovely flat in the right location #locationlocationlocation."

However, others defended the pair for not taking a project they weren't fully committed to.

Elsewhere on the episode was Ellen who ended up landing a one-bedroom flat, much to her delight - and many others on social media.

One user gushed: "Yay Ellen got the flat. Whoop whoop. She is just lovely and they must have had a lovely time filming with her. Totally genuine and willing to look at options #locationlocationlocation."
