A Place in the Sun buyer alarmed as they spot problem with Caribbean dream

A buyer on A Place in the Sun was alarmed by a problem with a property on today's show.

Jean Johannsson was helping Robert and Georgina find their dream holiday home in the Caribbean. The expert showed the couple around five homes in the beautiful region of St Lucia on Tuesday's edition of the popular Channel 4 programme.

Robert and Georgina had a maximum budget of £240,000 and were looking for a two bedroom home. Georgina also wanted to have a plunge pool in the home as Jean added: "That's up there on the dream part of the list."

The couple were looking for a home with a maximum of 15 - 20 steps as Georgina had mobility issues. The couple were wowed by the second home on the search, which was a two-bed house in La Clery.

The property was priced at £165,000 and boasted sea views and a large terrace. The couple were even more blown away when Jean revealed the home also featured a plunge pool.

However, Georgina was alarmed when the "dream" feature was at the bottom of a large set of stairs.

The couple eventually ruled out the property, but their hearts were stolen by the fourth home on the search. The two bed apartment featured a patioed dining area and was valued at £138,268.

Georgina and Robert opened with a "cheeky" bid of £120,000 before they eventually secured their new home for £126,500.
