A retired couple with a tiny budget handed A Place in the Sun expert Jean Johansson one of her toughest challenges yet. She was asked to find the dream holiday home for a retired couple in Italy for next to nothing.
Linda, a retired NHS theatre nurse, and her painter and decorator partner Peter wanted to buy a property in Abruzzo, Italy – but didn't have much cash to splash. The Channel 4 presenter was gobsmacked when the couple admitted they only had £60,000, as Jean said she had never worked with such a low budget before.
Viewers were amazed that the couple had the cheek to make such a demand. Meanwhile, despite their small budget, the couple agreed they were "open-mind" about the property they would be able to afford.
