What's On The Home Channel This July: New SA Food Show, Property Hunting and Home Decluttering

Our take

For South African homeowners and property enthusiasts, July's Home Channel line-up offers more than passive entertainment — it's a useful lens on real decisions many households are wrestling with right now. Location, Location, Location, while set in the UK, mirrors conversations happening in SA suburbs daily: buyers being priced out of preferred neighbourhoods, first-time buyers compromising on location, and families chasing more space in fast-moving markets. The emotional and financial trade-offs Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp unpack translate well to Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, Joburg's northern suburbs or Durban's Umhlanga corridor. Space Invaders is arguably the most practically relevant show for local landlords and sellers — decluttering and staging a home before listing genuinely affects perceived value and days on market. Tenants moving into smaller rentals will also find the downsizing mindset useful. Twice as Nice is a welcome celebration of South African culinary identity on mainstream TV. For homeowners, The Gardener offers low-cost ways to improve kerb appeal — always a smart move whether you're staying put or preparing to sell.
