Get ready Blockheads, fan favourites Mitch Edwards and Mark Mckie are hosting their own lifestyle series on Channel Ten called Location, Location, Location.
The charismatic duo will help Aussie find their dream homes whether they are first-time buyers, downsizing for retirement or whatever walk of life these people are from.
We cannot wait for the pair to grace the screen with their glamorous personalities and fun style to bring a fresh perspective to house-hunting.
Following their time on The Block back in 2019 and again in 2021, Mitch and Mark have experience in property buying, negotiation and the real estate market, making them perfect hosts.
In an exclusive interview with TV WEEK, the pair said they are ready to show off the expertise.
“A lot of what people have seen us do on TV has been design and planning-oriented, but they haven’t perhaps realised we’ve also done a lot with property – buying, renovating and selling,” Mark, 61, tells TV WEEK.
Given the various design styles, Mitch revealed that compromise is important.
“We can show people who might be fixated on a particular suburb what their money can buy in the one next door,” the 60-year-old explained. “Or how – if they want to stay in a location – they might have to consider something different to what they thought they could afford.
“It can be a lot of compromise – which is hard for me, because prior to coming on the show, my understanding of compromise was different: if Mark and I have different ideas on how something should go, the compromise part comes in when Mark finally realises I’m right and agrees with me.”
Location, Location, Location was adapted for Australian viewers by Foxtel and previously aired from 2012-2014. But it was originally a series developed in the United Kingdom, hosted by Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp and aired for more than 23 years.
In February 5, 2023, the duo announced they would be hosting the new series via their joint Instagram account.
“We can’t wait to help Aussies find their dream homes,” they wrote.
“For nearly 20 years we’ve been flipping properties, and now we’re going to share our experience, knowledge and sense of fun as we take on this dynamic property market where hidden opportunities are just waiting to be found.”
“We’ve learnt a lot from our own experiences of searching, buying, renovating and selling properties. We know how to look through the staging to see what a property is really offering, the good and the bad, and seeing the opportunities that others might not see in an ‘ugly duckling’ property that you can transform into a swan!
“We are thrilled to add our touch to the Aussie series. It’s going to be so much fun sharing our experience and knowledge with a sprinkle of joy along the journey.”
Location, Location, Location will air on June 30 at 7:30pm on Channel Ten.
