Wed Sep 18 17:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Frustrated “A Place in the Sun” Host Calls Property Viewing “Waste of Time”
In a recent episode of the popular Channel 4 series, host Ben Hillman expressed his frustration with a particular property he showcased to newlyweds Tony and Sue, who were searching for their dream home in Almeria, Spain.
While the couple initially found a property that met their specifications, the subsequent viewings proved disappointing. Despite the property offering magnificent mountain views, Tony and Sue remained unimpressed. Ben admitted on camera: “Feels like I’m flogging a dead horse,” clearly expressing his exasperation.
Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, with many agreeing that the property’s location, far from the coast and surrounded by mountains, was not appealing.
However, the episode concluded on a positive note as Tony and Sue ultimately made an offer on the second property, which had captivated their interest. They successfully negotiated a price of £148,000, a reduction of £8,500 from the asking price. Viewers praised the couple for their negotiation skills, with one remarking, “He’s put his foot down.”
Despite the frustrations of one particular viewing, the episode highlights the challenges and triumphs of finding a perfect home abroad. “A Place in the Sun” continues to air weekdays at 4pm on Channel 4.
