A Place In The Sun's Ben Hillman scolds buyer over response

A Place In The Sun's Ben Hillman told off his house hunters for their lack of enthusiasm.

The property expert flew off to the Portuguese island of Madeira to find Jane her ideal holiday home. She brought her sister Maria along to help find a two-bedroom property that acts as a "social house" with enough space for friends and family to visit.

Jane had a budget of £200,000 but was willing to push the boat out a little further if the dream house came along.

The sisters were relatively chatty and appeared to have a good rapport with Ben but their lack of enthusiasm when it came to viewings wasn't well received.

Their first viewing saw them arrive in Santa Cruz, one of the oldest towns on the island. Their property was situated on the hillside with stunning views of the sea which Jane admitted were "really nice."

The four-bed home was on the market for just under £186,000 but the stunning views and low price tag didn't bring in the response Ben was hoping for. After Jane let out a subtle, "Okay," Ben said: "Oh, come on! You've got to be more excited than that!"

Jane agreed that it was "pretty" and a positive that it was in her budget. Ben added: "It's well in budget! It needs no work either." Upon leaving the property, they said the location was all wrong as it was situated on a steep hill.

Ben then relayed the fact that every property in Madeira is uphill before taking it on the chin and moving along with their search. Coming together at the end of the show, Jane managed to find her dream property and high-fived Ben to show him the enthusiasm she was originally missing.
