"I can tell you this island is expensive - and this search is going to be a challenge." Jean said there were more affordable properties available on the Island and the couple's search was narrowed down to property three and five.
The Marinella Complex Apartment was priced at a negotiable £154,545 and the sea view apartment was priced at £127,243. The couple were struggling to make a decision between the two
They eventually decided to put in an offer in the Marinella Complex Apartment due to its proximity to the beach. They put in a bid of just over £127,000 - and Jean said if this was accepted it would be the "bargain of the century".
The host was thrilled to confirm the offer had been accepted and the buyers had secured their dream home within their budget.
