Phil Spencer

Phil Spencer is a property expert, entrepreneur, broadcaster and author best known as the co-presenter of Channel 4’s hugely successful Location, Location, Location. With a career spanning property, television and business, Phil has become one of the most trusted and recognisable figures in the UK housing market.

After studying General Practice Surveying, Phil founded Garrington Home Finders in 1996, becoming one of the first property professionals in the UK to specialise in representing buyers. Under his leadership, the business grew into a highly successful national operation and helped establish Phil as a respected voice within the property industry.

His expertise and natural ability to understand buyers’ needs led to an opportunity to help develop a new property television format. After being invited to screen test as a presenter, Phil was paired with Kirstie Allsopp and the chemistry was immediate. The result was Location, Location, Location, which went on to become one of Channel 4’s most successful and longest-running programmes. He has since fronted numerous other series including Relocation, Relocation, Location Revisited and Phil Spencer: Secret Agent.

Alongside his television work, Phil is a successful businessman, author and columnist, regularly contributing property advice and market commentary to national newspapers, magazines and industry publications. Often referred to as the “voice of the buyer”, he is respected for his practical advice, market knowledge and straightforward approach.
