Channel 4's A Place in the Sun searches the sunny shores of various holiday hotspots for properties for bargain loving Brits hoping to secure some bricks and mortar as their ideal vacation bolthole, or even as their permanent home.
Presenter Laura Hamilton was thrilled to welcome Cardiff-based Welsh couple Susan and Ainsley to Mijas Costa on Spain's Costa del Sol, even if they did have a wish-list that was lengthy, including sea view, open-plan space, light and bright feeling, communal pool within a community, two to three bedrooms and close to the beach or at least walking distance, close to shops and a supermarket, a gym onsite, and a store room for bikes - and even a bus stop outside.
The couple have two teenage children, and felt the time was right to buy their dream home in their favourite holiday spot and armed with a maximum budget of £175,000 with 'wiggle-room' up to £200,000 were confident that the programme could show them some special properties.
