A Place in the Sun host Jean Johansson was shocked to see buyers turn down a "perfect" home during Monday's episode.
Jean was in Spain’s Southern Costa Blanca to help former midwife Sally and brewery worker Phil find their perfect forever home. The married couple have sold up in Wales and were looking for somewhere big enough for their family to be able to stay.
With a budget of £220,000 they wanted somewhere fairly private, where they wouldn't be overlooked.

Property number one was a three-bedroom house on the market for just under £190,000. It had a large living and dining space, with two large double bedrooms, as well as a family shower room.
Sally and Phil were pleased and deemed it an immediate contender, and things continued to go smoothly for host Jean. Her second home, a three-bedroom house on the market for just under £215,000 was also considered a contender after Sally and Phil realised it was much more spacious inside than they had first thought.
Things carried on in much the same way, until it came to the fifth and final property.
On the market for just over £215,000 at the time of filming, the three-bedroom house was situated next to a beautiful nature reserve and surrounded by lush trees. It had plenty of outdoor space with a barbecue and a swimming pool, but there was just one problem.
The house was located on top of a hill, and Phil said he didn't fancy walking up and down it every time he wanted to go out or return home. Because of this, the home was immediately taken out of the running.
