A Place in the Sun Season 1 Episode 11 Series 1 Episode 11

In Series 1 Episode 11 of A Place in the Sun, the show follows two couples as they search for their perfect holiday home in Spain. The first couple, retiree and art lover Irene and her husband, are looking for a property that will provide them with a creative hub for all of Irene's artwork. They have a budget of £130,000 and are interested in traditional Spanish architecture with plenty of outdoor space.

The second couple, husband and wife Tim and Debbie, are looking to escape the British weather and want to find a holiday home that can be rented out when they're not using it. They have a budget of £150,000 and are looking for something modern with a good rental potential. They are focused mainly on the location and facilities surrounding the property.

The show's presenter, Jasmine Harman, takes both couples on a tour of their preferred location, showing them a range of properties in different styles and locations that fit their requirements and budget. Each couple must consider the pros and cons of each property and decide which one is the perfect fit for them.

The first property is a modern apartment in a gated complex, which has a communal pool, garden and facilities. It's within their budget, but the couple is more interested in more traditional Spanish styles, so this property doesn't tick all the boxes. The second is a townhouse, which has a lot of artistic character, but it's overpriced for their budget. They're impressed with the outdoor spaces and the location, but they're worried about the high price.

Property number three is a beautiful finca set in natural surroundings, a perfect spot for Irene's creativity. The house is modest inside, but there is potential for renovation and customization. Tim and Debbie, on the other hand, think the property is too remote and lacks rental potential.

Property number four is a modern villa, which has a shorter rental season but is well-located with good amenities nearby. The couple is impressed with the outdoor area where they can relax in the sun and has space for a pool. However, the price is just over their budget.

Finally, property number five, is a townhouse, which is in Irene's preferred traditional style with a lot of character. It has outdoor space, including a rooftop terrace area, which will be perfect for her to work on her artwork while her husband can sit and relax. The house can be renovated and customized according to the couple's preferences. Tim and Debbie find the home too small for their needs and think it doesn't have the potential for a high rental return.

After viewing all five properties, Jasmine asks both couples to list the pros and cons of each property and decide which one meets their needs and budget. Irene and her husband ultimately choose the traditional Spanish style townhouse that meets all their requirements. Tim and Debbie go with a more modern option with a great rental potential and amenities surrounding the property.

Overall, Series 1 Episode 11 of A Place in the Sun gives viewers a taste of Spain's diverse property market and how different couples might have different requirements when it comes to buying a holiday home. The show highlights important factors such as location, budget, and style when purchasing a property, giving viewers a valuable insight into the decision-making process.
