Lottery Winning Couple Look for a Mansion | Location Location Location | All Homes



Experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer have a generous budget to work with this week when they help lottery winners Lara and Roger Griffiths spend their winnings on a dream home. The couple want a bigger house now they have baby Ruby, but despite their wealth, they cannot agree on how much to spend

Property professionals like Phil Spencer and Kirsty Allsopp know all the secrets of successful house-hunting: being clear about what you want, aiming high and, above all, being prepared to compromise.
Our experts work to a brief of must-have attributes: number of bedrooms, character property or new build, but the most important aspect is always… Location, Location, Location! From auction houses and estate agencies, to websites and word-of-mouth, they leave no stone unturned in their quest for the best. They then have the unpredictable task of showing the house-hunters around a shortlist of properties that appear to fit the bill. Will they have judged their tastes correctly? Do these people even know what they want?

  1. What did they buy in 2007 right before the housing market bubble burst?

  2. God bless them a million eight is alot but it can go fast ! The more expensive house has higher taxes, maintenance costs and driving a junker and living in a mansion makes little sense. Better to buy nice, modest and put some savings aside. Then you can move up later on

    Well, they bought a house all right, quit their jobs and got a divorce. All the $ gone

  3. I wonder if Roger was happy with his home and didn't really want to move but knew that was out of the question.

  4. Of the lottery winners, I think the guy is just not happy with the houses because he expects to be totally blown away on his budget – and he's not being so blown

  5. It's great to get a larger home but it's also a consideration of how to afford it (taxes, upkeep etc) after you buy it. If you keep what you have already or only upgrade a bit then you can relax and know that you won't have to scrimp & save forever.

  6. Lara is a financial red flag. I hope Roger keeps a good chunk hidden from her before she ruins them both financially….

  7. It would be very interesting to see where these folks are now, in 2022. Would venture a guess it’s vastly different than 2009.
