Philip John Edward Spencer "Phil" Spencer (born 11 December 1969) is a British media personality, television presenter and journalist, best known as the co-presenter of Channel 4 property show Location, Location, Location along with its spin-off Relocation, Relocation between 2004 and 2011 alongside Kirstie Allsopp.
In 2011, Phil presented the holiday programme Vacation, Vacation, Vacation, but since 2012 has hosted property show, Phil Spencer: Secret Agent and Love It Or List It for Channel 4.
Spencer was educated at Uppingham School, a co-educational independent school in the small market town of Uppingham, Rutland, in the Midlands, where he was Head Boy.
Spencer attended London South Bank University
Having studied as a surveyor in the early 1990s, Spencer decided that the housing market was heavily biased towards the sellers in terms of professional support available, and saw an opportunity to set himself up as a home finder. He founded property search company Garrington Home Finders Ltd in 1996. He describes himself as not the first to see this opportunity "but I was probably second or third, and Kirstie [Allsopp] was the fourth." The company entered into liquidation in early 2009, a victim of the credit crunch that followed the financial crisis of 2007–2008. It was eventually saved by one of Spencer's former office managers.
He remains an active property investor and landlord. He is director and shareholder of Raise The Roof Productions, a company which describes itself as the largest "true" independent production company in Scotland and one of Channel 4's biggest suppliers. He is also an Honorary Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
