Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer scour the south coast between Southampton and Bognor Regis, where both the tide and the pressure to find properties are running high. Kirstie's couple, Antoinette and Matt, have been renting in Southampton for three years, paying more than £30,000 in the process. They want their money to go into a home they own instead, but their search has been stalled by unsuccessful offers.

Phil tries a couple of curve balls, but ultimately location wins out over size and Catherine finds a house she thinks is the one
