Kirstie Allsopp casting call targets Salford house hunters before 29 April
kirstie allsopp is back in the casting pitch for Location, Location, Location, with Channel 4 seeking Salford house hunters for the next series before Wednesday, 29 April. The new run will be filmed across Greater Manchester in May, giving local buyers a narrow window to get on the show.
The channel said it wants chain-free, or SSTC, applicants who are ready to buy in May this year. It is also looking for individuals, families and couples who need Kirstie and Phil’s expertise to buy their dream home, which keeps the series tied to active movers rather than viewers simply curious about property television.
Greater Manchester in May
The next series is set to be filmed across Greater Manchester in May, and the casting team is already reviewing applications received by IWC Media. Applicants who make the cut will be contacted directly if their application is taken further, so the process moves from online form to direct follow-up rather than a broad open call.
“We are casting for the new series, and we are interested in hearing from chain-free (or SSTC) house hunters who would be ready to buy in May this year,” a Channel 4 spokesperson said. “Applications are now open and we’re looking to spread the word to the community to encourage house hunters to apply and get the help they need.”
Who Channel 4 wants
Channel 4 said it is looking for first-time buyers, people looking for their next dream home, people downsizing and people relocating. “We are looking for individuals, families and couples who need Kirstie and Phil’s expertise to buy their dream home,” the spokesperson said.
House prices across the UK continue to rise, which makes a filmed search for a new home more than a TV exercise for the people who apply. The show is also pushing for applicants from all backgrounds and identities, a sign that the casting brief is trying to widen the on-screen mix while keeping the format focused on buyers with a real deadline.
Apply by 29 April
The deadline to apply is Wednesday, 29 April, and the application form is available online. That makes the practical question straightforward for Salford buyers: if they want Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer in their search, they need to get their details in now and be ready to buy in May if selected.
