00:00The Spanish costas.
00:02Now this is the dream.
00:04Where thousands of Brits flock to each year
00:07to start a new life in paradise.
00:10We've got the sun, the sea, the sand.
00:12We live the best life.
00:14Making this dream a reality.
00:17Oh wow. I've got a wow. I've got a wow.
00:19That's what we're like.
00:20Are the expat estate agents.
00:22How about that? Fantastic.
00:24Who already call Spain home.
00:26Cheers.
00:28In Alicante, the Rodriguez family.
00:32Cheers.
00:34Over in Almeria, the Garners.
00:36Ta-da.
00:38Up the coast in Mercia are the Browns.
00:40Good job.
00:42On the Costa Blanca North, the Aldertons.
00:46And down south in sunny Malaga, the Hamiltons.
00:50We have this one.
00:52And when they're not selling the Spanish dream.
00:54319,000 euros.
00:56Yes.
00:57They're living it.
00:59Yay!
01:01Just get on that plane and we're here,
01:03ready to help you make your dream a reality.
01:06What more can you ask for?
01:08This time, it's all smiles with the Rodriguez sisters.
01:13That is a view.
01:15Yeah, I think you've done it all.
01:17The Aldertons have an unexpected visitor.
01:20Yeah, thanks for bringing the British weather with you.
01:23And Sophie and Charlotte get competitive.
01:28I can see the blue balloons.
01:32It's been a hectic time for the Rodriguez family lately,
01:38meaning sisters Sophie and Charlotte have had very little time together on the shop floor.
01:43Nice to see you today, Soph.
01:46I know, it's been a while, hasn't it?
01:47I know, yeah.
01:48We've been together.
01:49I've had a nice time going out with your husband, but I'm glad I'm back with you.
01:52Have you had a nice time?
01:54Lovely time.
01:55Laughed a lot, but he doesn't shut up.
01:56Missed your sister then.
01:58Well, I wouldn't go that far.
02:00That's what it sounds like.
02:05Hoping Charlotte and Sophie will be the winning pairing to match them with the perfect property are Lisa and Paul, who met 22 years ago.
02:14I wanted the big wedding, so we had the big wedding.
02:17Which I know nothing about.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Paul kind of just turned up.
02:22Yeah.
02:23I arranged it all.
02:24Together they've built a successful holiday park business in East Yorkshire, where they live with their two sons.
02:30Because we live on park, we're there 24-7, so we don't get a break, we don't get a day off, we don't get an hour off really, do we?
02:39No.
02:40Just constant.
02:41It's time to take a bath seat.
02:42They're ready to take a break from the daily grind in favour of regular trips to the sunshine with their boys and Paul's older son and granddaughter.
02:50We are looking for a holiday home.
02:52Basically, to get our life back on track.
02:54Yeah.
02:55We've lost it for X amount of years.
02:57Yeah, the main thing is to get the family park back together.
03:00It's a must.
03:02And the home they've got in mind for their family holidays.
03:05I'd love a plush villa, but I'm not a film star.
03:08Mind me after this.
03:11Ready to deliver the Hollywood glamour, it's Rodriguez's sisters, Sophie and Charlotte.
03:18Well, it's great to have you here.
03:20Tell us a little bit about what it is you're looking for.
03:22Three to four bed villa.
03:24Yeah.
03:25With a pool.
03:26Parking if possible.
03:27Because we've got a motor home.
03:29Two bathroomed.
03:30Spacious.
03:31Yeah.
03:32We just want somewhere where we can all come as a family and spend more family time together.
03:37Yeah.
03:38We've tried other places, but...
03:41Nowhere beats space.
03:42Nowhere beats space.
03:43Your heart's here.
03:44Yeah.
03:45So what budget are we working with?
03:46We're going to be looking at 350 to 400.
03:49Great.
03:50Great.
03:51Yeah.
03:52Well, we've got three really different properties.
03:55Different areas.
03:56And we're excited to show you them.
03:57You ready to go?
03:58Yeah.
03:59Yeah.
04:00That's where we can move.
04:01We are ready to get back out on the road together with three villas lined up within Paul and
04:06Lisa's 400,000 euro maximum budget.
04:09Well, we're in there then, Sophie.
04:11Or is it the secret?
04:12Our eyes.
04:14Luckily, there's not long to wait, as property one is just a hop and a skip from the Rodriguez
04:19office in Beniofa, and all the village has to offer.
04:23Here we are at property number one, a corner property.
04:26What are your thoughts?
04:27It looks nice.
04:28I like the style of it.
04:29Yeah.
04:30And I like the fact it's on a corner plot.
04:32Mm-hmm.
04:33Yeah?
04:34Stupid question, Paul.
04:35Do you want to go inside?
04:36Yeah, well, I'll take a look.
04:38Come on then.
04:39Let's go.
04:40Let's go.
04:41Let's go.
04:42Property one is a standalone villa on a corner plot.
04:45On the ground floor, there's a modern open-plan kitchen and living room, plus the first
04:50of three en suite bedrooms.
04:53Upstairs are the further two double en suite bedrooms.
04:57And a sun terrace, where all the family could gather.
05:01There's a private swimming pool to enjoy and off-road parking, so their wish list has
05:06been fully covered here.
05:08And the villa comes in under their maximum budget at 385,000 euros.
05:13Come on in.
05:16We've got an open-plan living area.
05:19It's quite nice.
05:20It's like spacious.
05:21What are you thinking?
05:23I do like that it's all open-plan.
05:25I like the open-plan.
05:26Yeah.
05:27I like the kitchen as well.
05:28We've brought you to a new-build style.
05:30Yeah.
05:31It's ready.
05:32You don't need to do anything.
05:33Yeah.
05:34It is nice.
05:35Family area.
05:36Great.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:39I like it.
05:40This could be the plush villa Paul's been dreaming of.
05:43But he doesn't seem to be completely starstruck yet.
05:47You've got three bedrooms in this property.
05:51Three?
05:52Each bedroom has got its own en suite as well.
05:55Oh, that's good.
05:56And this one has got its own entrance onto the terrace that's on the first floor as well.
06:02I like that.
06:03I like that bit.
06:05So, we'll take you outside.
06:09Right, so this is your private terrace and you've got lovely views.
06:12Yes, nice.
06:13Really nice.
06:14Lovely views.
06:15Nice area.
06:16Do you think you'd use this space, Lisa?
06:19Yeah.
06:20Depending on downstairs, obviously the outside space downstairs as well.
06:23It's just nice to have different options, isn't it?
06:25Yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:27But can Lisa and Paul see property one as the best option for them this early on in the
06:32day?
06:33This is nice and bright.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Nice furnishings.
06:39Yeah.
06:40En suite again.
06:41Big bathroom still.
06:42Yeah, I like it.
06:43Yeah.
06:44I like it, yeah.
06:46On paper, it's ticking all the boxes.
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:48You've got the off-road parking, you've got the bedrooms, you've got the location, you've
06:52got the pool.
06:53Yeah.
06:54It's just whether it's going to be the one for them.
06:57This is a good size as well.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Yeah, it's a nice size room, leading it onto the garden.
07:02And we'll have a look through that now.
07:04Yeah.
07:09Come out and join us.
07:11How does it go looking round?
07:13Yeah, I like it.
07:15Oh, good.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Yeah, a couple of concerns.
07:19Outside space.
07:20Okay.
07:21Just a little bit too small.
07:24Okay.
07:25Apart from that, yeah, it was nice, really nice.
07:28Well, property number one is on the market for 385,000 euros.
07:33You win.
07:34Something to consider.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Well, a good start then to our property search.
07:38Yeah.
07:39But we've still got more properties to show you, so should we make a move?
07:41Yeah.
07:42Let's go.
07:43Property one is certainly a contender, but can Charlotte and Sophie beat it by delivering
07:48more outside space?
07:54Coming up, have Sophie and Charlotte set the bar too high too soon?
07:59At the minute, I prefer property one.
08:01Was it could be first time lucky for the Aldertons?
08:04It's a private community.
08:05Oh, wow.
08:06For 11 years, Manchester-born Andrew and Joe Alderton have been selling the Spanish property
08:21dream.
08:22Cheers.
08:23From their office in Benissa on the Costa Blanca North.
08:26I love everything about Spain.
08:28I love the weather.
08:29I love the food.
08:30I love the people.
08:31I love living the dream.
08:32I live the dream every day.
08:36Looking good, aren't they?
08:37Just look at that sunset.
08:38I love something.
08:39With their daughters Ines and Cassia by their side, they've never looked back.
08:43I think the best part is seeing the smile on clients' faces when they buy a property.
08:48Cheers, everybody.
08:49Cheers.
08:50Good find, Mrs A.
08:51Always me.
08:52No, it's not.
08:53Whatever they're doing, there's always fun to be had.
08:58It's just the best life and honestly, come out and join us.
09:03Come here and get the hug.
09:08In Moraira, there's a new kid on the block.
09:13The Aldertons have opened a second office and they're preparing to welcome their first
09:18clients after a few finishing touches.
09:21So, bought some stuff.
09:24You better get your stepladders and your drill out.
09:26How much?
09:27The beach is my happy place.
09:29Yeah.
09:30That's going on the wall here because this office is by the beach, so we need to, you
09:33know, nod towards that.
09:34I think I'm going to go on the beach before I have a round with you.
09:36Escape.
09:40Hoping the Aldertons can find them their happy place are ex-police officer Kevin and his
09:45wife Debbie, who met 33 years ago.
09:48Debbie was a landlady, so that's where I met Debbie.
09:50In a pub.
09:53They've called time on their family home in Grantham and are ready to settle permanently
09:57on the Costa Blanca.
09:59Comparing Spain to England, Grantham especially, oh, there is no comparison.
10:06Spain all the way, 100%.
10:09It's our time now and if you don't take a risk in life then, you know, fortune favours
10:16the brave.
10:17They're fortunate enough to be searching for a villa with a €380,000 budget, but Debbie
10:23has a surefire way of knowing if the home is right for her.
10:27I will cry.
10:30And that I am a big crier.
10:34Luckily the Aldertons are on hand for some emotional support.
10:37Hello.
10:38Hello.
10:39How are you?
10:40Have a seat.
10:43So, what is it you're after?
10:45Well, three bedrooms, two bathrooms.
10:48We don't mind being away from the coast.
10:51Villa with a pool, yep.
10:52It has to have a call.
10:53Are you listening, Mrs. Ed?
10:54Julie noted.
10:55Okay.
10:56Up your area, since I like it to entertain.
10:58Okay.
10:59Who's the barbecuer?
11:01Oh, you are.
11:02Who holds the purse strings?
11:05Kevin.
11:06We both do, to be fair.
11:08Well, shall we go?
11:09Yeah.
11:10I'm really excited to get out there.
11:11The sun's shining.
11:12We should be outside, not inside.
11:13Come on, then.
11:16There are three villas lined up with Kevin and Debbie's wishlist in mind.
11:20You love Mariah, don't you?
11:22Yeah.
11:23And what is the rock?
11:24Yeah, it's Calpe.
11:25Yeah.
11:26So, it's the rock of Ifatch.
11:27That's me.
11:28Yeah.
11:29The rock.
11:30Reliable as ever, the Alderton's first offering is just a ten-minute drive from Moira's waterfront.
11:36It's a private community.
11:38Oh, wow.
11:46Welcome to property number one.
11:49Very nice, too.
11:50Are you excited?
11:51Very.
11:52We like excitement.
11:53The goal is to get to his.
11:54Okay.
11:55That's the goal.
11:56For the right reasons, hopefully.
11:57Andrews.
11:59Yeah.
12:00Property one is a villa over two levels in a private complex of 16 homes.
12:06On the ground floor, the living dining room is connected to a semi-open planned kitchen.
12:11There's also a double bedroom for overnight guests.
12:15On the first floor, the family bathroom is shared between the two double bedrooms, which
12:19open onto a terrace with views of the communal gardens, swimming pool and sea beyond.
12:26There's even a private garden and terrace for entertaining.
12:29All for a price comfortably within budget at €345,000.
12:36Nice big lounge dining room.
12:39Oh, wow.
12:40Kitchen.
12:41Oh, look at the fire.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Wow.
12:44We've got three bedrooms, two bathrooms, as you asked.
12:48Excellent.
12:49And we've got outdoor space for you to enjoy your barbecues.
12:52From what I've seen so far, this is a nice size.
12:56Okay.
12:57Excellent.
12:58It's a warm reaction from Debbie so far, but can upstairs bring on the waterworks she's
13:03been anticipating?
13:05Into one of two main bedrooms.
13:08Wow.
13:09And that's a big bed.
13:10It's a super king size.
13:11Yeah.
13:12Yeah, very good.
13:13Beautiful view out there as well.
13:14Would you like to see?
13:15Yes.
13:16Yes, please.
13:17Make your way through there.
13:18There you go.
13:19Oh, wow.
13:22Woo!
13:23Oh, my God.
13:26Oh, my God.
13:27Oh!
13:28Where is the sea view?
13:30Wow.
13:31Oh, look.
13:32Oh, my God.
13:33I told you I was after tears.
13:37Oh, wow.
13:38Yes, you've done good, Jo.
13:40And Andrew.
13:41Oh, thanks.
13:42Yeah.
13:43But, no, there's plenty more to see.
13:46Okay.
13:47Happy tears and happy dances, but will it be a happy outcome?
13:55Bath as well.
13:56It hasn't gone better.
13:57No, it hasn't.
13:58I was a bit worried.
13:59And tears.
14:00I know.
14:01I was a bit worried because she said, the ideal is an independent villa with a private
14:06pool.
14:07However, we're slap bang in the middle of their ideal location.
14:10So, this is the...
14:11They've got a way it's not...
14:12Compromise, yeah.
14:13Oh!
14:14There's a very outside bit, which is very nice.
14:18I think, if I'm brutally honest, it's not private enough.
14:21It's not private enough?
14:22No.
14:23No.
14:24Here we come.
14:25So, what are your thoughts?
14:29First thing that brought me to tears was the view.
14:32View.
14:33From the balcony.
14:34But, privacy-wise, for us, the outside space is not private enough.
14:38Yeah.
14:39If we're honest.
14:40Fair enough.
14:41That's fine.
14:42A villa.
14:43Own pool or own outdoor areas.
14:45Exactly, yeah.
14:46Privacy and views.
14:47Yeah.
14:48And en suite.
14:49Okay.
14:50Well, I'm sure we can work on that, can't we?
14:52Yeah.
14:53So, we'll regroup tomorrow.
14:54Let's go.
14:55Lovely.
14:56The views may have brought a tear to Debbie's eye, but now the Aldertons have the challenge
15:01of matching that reaction to a more secluded setting.
15:05In Alicante, the Rodriguez sisters are on a mission to find a plush holiday villa where
15:15Paul and Lisa's family can all gather together on a €400,000 maximum budget.
15:21Property One had all the bling.
15:23I do like that it's a level plan.
15:24I like the album.
15:25Yeah.
15:26But not enough space to make them sing.
15:28Just a little bit too small.
15:31On the hunt for a bigger plot, Sophie and Charlotte have brought Lisa and Paul to the town of
15:37Quesada.
15:38Well, welcome to property number two.
15:42This time, guys, we've brought you to a bigger property.
15:46Looks bigger.
15:47Yeah.
15:48Shall we go and check it out?
15:50Yeah.
15:51Go on, then.
15:52Property Two is a detached villa over two levels.
15:57The main floor has three bedrooms as requested.
16:00One with an ensuite.
16:03And there's also a family bathroom.
16:05There's a cosy lounge and a separate kitchen, plus a covered dining terrace leading to a balcony,
16:11which overlooks the grounds and private swimming pool.
16:15The converted under-build acts as a second kitchen-cum-lounge with a shower room.
16:20And there's plenty of room in the budget to make this place their own, as it's on the market for 333,000 euros.
16:31Come on in.
16:33Different set-up than property number one.
16:35Very.
16:36Very.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Yeah.
16:40This seems more compact to me.
16:41There's lots of square metres here that you can reject.
16:44Yeah.
16:45What do you apply with?
16:46If you want the square metres...
16:47You've got to put the F in.
16:49If you want the nice sparkly house, that was property number one.
16:53That's it, yeah.
16:54Yeah.
16:55But the compromise is the size of the plot, the pool area, the garden area.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Yeah.
17:00So you've got this terrace here, and we thought from up here it would give you a good viewpoint
17:07to see the front garden.
17:09Yeah.
17:13You've got a huge pool down there.
17:15It is, yeah.
17:16You've got an outdoor shower.
17:18At the minute I prefer property one.
17:20Okay.
17:21Okay.
17:22I need to see more of it.
17:23Luckily for Paul, there's plenty more to see.
17:30Oh.
17:31A little apartment for the family.
17:34Or maybe, you know, one of your sons can come down here.
17:37You know, have a little place for themselves.
17:40It's good, isn't it?
17:42Is it making you think a little bit more about this property now, Lisa?
17:45Yeah.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Yeah, I think it's changed it now.
17:55Well, I think we've thrown another curveball into the mix here, don't you?
17:58I think we have.
17:59It's a totally different property.
18:01It's going from, like, night to day.
18:03Chalk and cheese.
18:04Definitely.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Dieted.
18:09Yeah.
18:10This needs a full way of it, unfortunately.
18:13This looks very old.
18:14Hmm.
18:15I think we're doing our job.
18:18We've got to show them a variety of different properties within the budget.
18:22We've shown them the property that they can just walk into.
18:25And this one?
18:26Gonna need some elbow grease.
18:30Come join us.
18:31We're excited to hear what you think.
18:34I think it might be too much.
18:35Yeah.
18:36I think it'll be too much work.
18:37But it all depends on budget.
18:41It's on the market for 333,000 euros.
18:45Right.
18:46OK.
18:48I won't be up there.
18:49Not to that figure.
18:51Not at the minute.
18:52Not for the work that we'd want to do.
18:53Yeah.
18:54Yeah.
18:55But at least now, you know what the options are that are out there.
18:58Yeah, it's in two completely different properties.
18:59Shall we go to property number three then?
19:01Yeah.
19:02Despite the work not putting them off, the cost of property two just isn't adding up.
19:07So Charlotte and Sophie have one final chance to deliver everything for a price that's right.
19:13On the Costa Blanca North, Andrew Alderton has escaped the office to arrange a special surprise for Joe.
19:25With the Aldertons' business blooming, Joe's been putting in the hours to open their second office.
19:31And Andrew wants to treat her to an afternoon at home.
19:34Should be it any minute.
19:36Though it seems there's still work to be done.
19:39So we're going to do it like a little collage that we can frame and then put into the office.
19:45Of our time in Spain.
19:47Yeah, I think I'm all set.
19:49And just in the nick of time.
19:51Oh, hello.
19:52It's a romantic surprise.
19:54What?
19:55Do you know, I knew you were up to something.
19:58What's this all about?
19:59Ah.
20:00Well, I've had an idea that, because you've been working so hard, you can have an afternoon off and we're going to do like a collage.
20:08Of our time together.
20:11What?
20:12So do you remember this?
20:13Oh my word, get lost.
20:15No.
20:16Yeah.
20:17That was New York.
20:18Look at that hair.
20:19I know.
20:20Date night.
20:21Not one of them for a long time.
20:23Remember that?
20:24I Fatch.
20:25Oh my God, that's right at the top of the Fatch Rock.
20:27Yeah.
20:28That's me half dead.
20:29So I thought we can cut marks to come on, get all the staff to sign it, we can have it framed and put it up in the office.
20:36Aww.
20:37Right, shall we get cracking?
20:39So is this going to be like in the office, like I'm in charge but really you're in charge?
20:46Yeah.
20:47So, which picture?
20:48Well, you're getting excited now, aren't you?
20:50Yes.
20:51You're just jumping ahead.
20:52I think that should be...
20:53No, we need to cut them out.
20:54Oh.
20:55Oh God, no.
20:56What are you doing?
20:57I'm doing a love chip.
20:59There we go.
21:01I think that's when we used to do the Easter egg look.
21:05No, it's not.
21:06That is a country walk that we did through the Vanessa countryside.
21:11I know.
21:12You cut right down the...
21:14Andrew Alderton.
21:15There we go.
21:16Perfect.
21:17That was a brilliant picture of us two together.
21:22Andrew may have forgotten this is meant to be a romantic afternoon.
21:26You look very pretty there.
21:28You look very pretty everything.
21:29A bit better, aren't you?
21:31Can't believe you've gone all crafty.
21:33Who are you?
21:34I've got no idea.
21:35What have you done with Andrew?
21:36I don't know.
21:41I think there's enough on there now.
21:43That'll look nice.
21:44We'll put that in the new office in Mariah.
21:45We'll get it framed.
21:46Yeah.
21:47Cool.
21:48Good job, Mrs. A.
21:49Aw, thank you.
21:50It's nice, actually, to get a bit of time off work.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Right.
21:54I'm not going to tell the office girls that I've been doing this because...
21:58Just one of the perks of being the boss, Jo.
22:05Still to come, the Aldertons struggle to meet expectations.
22:09I don't think, in all honesty, that this is what we'd want.
22:14And the Rodriguez deliver a big surprise.
22:17Paul, are you okay?
22:18You haven't said anything.
22:19You haven't said anything.
22:20You haven't said anything.
22:28On the cost of Blanca North, retired police officer Kevin and ex-pub landlady Debbie want to lock in a forever home with a budget of €380,000.
22:40Property one brought a sparkle to Debbie's eye.
22:42Oh, my gosh.
22:44Oh!
22:46Where's the sea view?
22:48But there was no fairy tale ending once they saw the communal swimming pool.
22:52The outside space is not private enough.
22:55On a mission to find a more secluded spot, the Aldertons have brought them half an hour from the coast to Al Kalali, a traditional village where the sun normally shines.
23:06Here we are at property number two.
23:09Yep.
23:10Yep.
23:12What is that?
23:13Looks all right, doesn't it?
23:14From this side, anyway.
23:15To go inside.
23:16I'm excited to see inside.
23:17Yep, definitely.
23:19Property two is a detached villa with a private swimming pool as requested.
23:25Inside, the main floor has a living-come dining room connected to the kitchen.
23:30There are also two bedrooms which share a bathroom.
23:34On the first floor is the main bedroom with its own en suite, another requirement on Debbie's wishlist.
23:39The wraparound terraces can be accessed from the front and back of the villa with enough space to entertain their friends.
23:47And Debbie and Kevin may have a lot of celebrating to do as the villa is well under budget at €295,000.
23:56And here we go into house number two.
24:00Wow.
24:01Yep.
24:02It's not bad, is it?
24:03It's not bad.
24:04Not bad at all.
24:05It looks bigger in the inside like a Tardis.
24:08A bit like a Tardis.
24:09Yeah.
24:10Exactly.
24:11Yeah, I think, to be honest, it needs updating, to be fair.
24:13Exactly.
24:14There's nothing really structural here that you'll need to do.
24:16Yeah.
24:17First impressions.
24:18Well, would you like to see more?
24:19I would.
24:20Yes, indeed.
24:21Come on, then.
24:23And here we are into the main bedroom.
24:27The main bedroom.
24:28Which is like a main suite.
24:30All right, OK.
24:31Yep.
24:32It's the only room on this top floor, so it is just for the owners of the property.
24:38It needs updating.
24:39It's not modern enough.
24:41And I don't think, in all honesty, that this is what we'd want.
24:48Here's hoping the mountain vista is enough to persuade them otherwise.
24:53So, look at that view.
24:56Wow.
24:57Isn't that beautiful?
24:58Yeah.
24:59Stunning.
25:00Even with the cloud.
25:01Yes, indeed.
25:02Yeah.
25:03Yeah, it is.
25:04It's also very quiet as well, isn't it?
25:05Very quiet.
25:09Do you think it's a bit too small?
25:11I mean, whilst the views, luckily.
25:13Yeah, I know.
25:14It's quite small.
25:15It is small.
25:16I'm really surprised.
25:17Yes.
25:18Because this house, compared to house number one, the space is actually bigger.
25:22Yeah.
25:23So they liked the size.
25:24And they did say it was a TARDIS.
25:26I know they weren't as key ready as key ready can be.
25:29But this is literally just decoration.
25:32Yeah.
25:33I'm a bit sad that they don't like this, because I think this is great.
25:35Bit like the weather, innit?
25:36Yeah.
25:37Miserable.
25:44Yeah, thanks for bringing the British weather with you.
25:47You're welcome.
25:49The question is, has it put a dampener on the house for you?
25:52It has, I'm afraid.
25:54Too much to do.
25:55The bedroom that we would have was too small.
25:58You could get this really key ready before you even opened the door.
26:02It is a no.
26:03Yeah.
26:04At the moment.
26:05Shall we make our way to property three and see if we can nail it?
26:07Yeah.
26:08Nail it.
26:09Property two has been as much fun as a rainy bank holiday weekend.
26:12Meaning Joe and Andrew's third and final property really will have to be a ray of sunshine.
26:17In the depths of the Alicante countryside, the Rodriguez sisters are far from their usual stomping ground.
26:29What a lovely entrance.
26:30To take on a task set by Sophie's husband, Damon.
26:34So I brought you to the maze today.
26:35I thought it was a good idea.
26:37Do you want to know the reason why?
26:38Why?
26:39Because I'm up to here.
26:40We're used to.
26:41The bickering.
26:42The sister rivalry.
26:43Who's the best agent?
26:44I'm going to set you a challenge.
26:46You've got to find your way to the centre of the maze.
26:49And the winner will be crowned, once and for all, the most amazing agent.
26:55No, she's going to cheat.
26:56Well this has got nothing to do with selling houses.
26:58The most amazing agent that finds me first, there's going to be a prize.
27:02And the loser, you've got to make tea for the whole office for the rest of the year.
27:06She doesn't know how to make a cup of tea.
27:09I need to get this amazing reward because Sophie will not let me hear the end of it.
27:14She'll wear this crown, she'll make me make tea for her all year.
27:19No, she is not allowed to win.
27:21So I'm going to tie one of these to you, or a couple of these to you.
27:25And by doing so, I can keep an eye on your progress.
27:29Oh gosh, Sophie, Sophie, calm down.
27:31Poor Charlotte, she gets lost going from the house to buy a bottle of milk.
27:35So I don't know how she's going to find her way round this maze.
27:38One final instruction please.
27:40Turn your backs, look that way, just so you don't know which way I'm going.
27:43No peeking.
27:44No peeking.
27:45Listen out for the whistle.
27:47When you hear the whistle, it's time to go, OK?
27:49OK, see you soon.
27:50Have fun.
27:51Stop looking.
27:52What is wrong with you?
27:53Sophie, why did you have to be so naughty?
27:54It's gone, it's gone.
27:55Look, you can look, it's gone.
27:56Oh no, dead end.
27:57I'm excited to you.
27:58Yeah, it's something different isn't it?
27:59A bit of fun.
28:00Yeah, I just hope you don't take it too serious.
28:01I'm very relaxed.
28:02That was easy enough.
28:03Wasn't really, that was hard.
28:04Who knows how the sister's going to find this.
28:17Oh!
28:18Oh, get out of it!
28:23Oh, and the two, Sophie's definitely the most competitive.
28:30most competitive I haven't said that you don't shall it she does like to win
28:41I can see the blue balloon it's gonna be dark soon
28:46you know I thought it's a bit silly this game that David had to crown one of us the most amazing agent
29:11but now I've won I'll take the title most amazing agent so the finest and most amazing agent thank
29:19you thank you not miss it a little trophy as well oh I love it Charlotte you're taking part
29:28consolation prize milk and no sugar please well you might be the most amazing agent but I make
29:36the most amazing cup of tea follow my balloon then make sure we'll get lost back to business and Sophie
29:48and Charlotte still have the challenge of exploring all the options for a holiday home for Paul and Lisa
29:53from East Yorkshire property one was super glam but that came at a cost outside space just a little
30:01bit too small property two had it all although it needed a little facelift I think it might be too
30:09much yeah I think it'll be too much work so the challenge is on to deliver the full package within
30:15a 400,000 euro maximum budget at the third and final property in the town of Benimar just a five
30:23minute drive from where the search began so come on in to property number three we brought you to a
30:29different area this time to a property that is Christine yeah I like the look of this one yeah this one looks promising
30:38Paul are you okay I think it's gonna cost me but it is nice should we go on in yeah let's go
30:49property three is a detached villa the main floor has a kitchen connected to the living space and there
30:59are enough bedrooms for all the family with three doubles one with an ensuite plus there's a family
31:05bathroom there's a covered terrace ideal as a dining room which looks over the terrace and large private
31:12swimming pool an added bonus is the rooftop solarium with fabulous mountain views and it all comes in
31:19just a shade under budget at three hundred and ninety five thousand euros so come on in
31:29different layouts again yeah I quite like this one as well yeah yeah it's good I like how this part is
31:39and that part I'll come into it yeah no work needing to be done just if Paul wants pain
31:45should we keep going then yeah follow me so come on into the main bedroom which is a really good
31:55size oh yeah god this is huge yeah good I like this one it's got the ensuite it's got a great ensuite
32:01yeah well this is nice walk-in shower perfect look at the sides that's a big shower yeah no I like it
32:12it's nice nice nice great are we ticking those boxes uh slowly but still the rest yeah even if they
32:21are coming slowly the reactions have been positive so far a little surprise for you and the rooftop
32:27solarium could really push it up to the top of the list now you said you wanted a view and on this
32:34property you've definitely got a view what do you think of those views that's stunning that is a view
32:42yeah never seen you so quiet what are you thinking yeah I think you've done it all this one you brought
32:51the bank go check out the rest of the property yeah and then we'll break the news when you finish
32:55right lovely I can breathe there's no compromises it's stunning this property is perfect for them
33:05a tip of the cap to you ladies I can't find fault they can't find false yeah and you know usually with
33:13every property purchase there's some kinds of compromise but here I don't feel like there is
33:18no maybe the price this is a good size yeah kitchen good breakfast well it's okay yeah but will Paul be
33:31quite as keen to unpack his bags when he knows the price
33:34we're excited to hear what your thoughts are ah yeah I love him fabulous I'm dreading the price
33:53well drum roll I'm gonna sit down it's on the market but it's 395 thousand dollars okay I think
34:08we've got some discussions today big yeah discussions so it's a big decision you've got a lot to think
34:14about so why don't we make a move you guys can have some time on your own and then we can meet up
34:18yeah that'd be lovely yeah thank you there's a lot to contemplate for Lisa and Paul who now need to
34:25decide if they want to stretch to the top of their budget to make property three their own
34:29coming up it could be final orders at the Alderton's third property the landlady returns exactly
34:39and Paul and Lisa have an anxious wait after a bold move how are you feeling nervous yeah
34:46on the cost of Blanca north Kevin and Debbie are looking for a secluded home where they can
34:59entertain friends in the sun so far neither of the Alderton's two properties have hit the mark
35:06it's not private no no and the weather certainly hasn't helped has it put a dampener on the house
35:12for you it has I'm afraid Joe and Andrew need to pull out all the stops at their final property
35:19to deliver the full package on a three hundred and eighty thousand euro budget so they've come to the
35:25town of Pedrega within easy reach of the coast welcome to property number three huge yes we might get
35:39a lot of tears in this hey property three is a detached rural villa over two levels there's an
35:50open-plan kitchen diner come lounge on the main floor as well as a bonus reception room perfect as a
35:56dining room come bar there's also an ensuite bedroom with its own private terrace upstairs there's two
36:03further bedrooms each with their own ensuite and one with access to another terrace which leads to
36:10the private swimming pool there's no shortage of entertaining space inside and out and there's plenty
36:17of room left in the budget too as this villa is on the market for three hundred and twenty five thousand
36:23euros right then guys as we enter in into your amazing outdoor space you asked for a bar at the home
36:33at the house wow that's what I wanted and you delivered so it's looking good so far so far looking
36:39good we're gonna see some more then yeah absolutely yeah I'm excited so not just one bar is that another
36:48bar two hours outside and inside which is perfect for days like today eggs absolutely okay so making our
36:57way in huge huge oh look at me timing table and look at your beveled ceilings that we have in house one oh wow yeah
37:07yeah look at the beans as well yeah we also have your open plan American kitchen yeah yeah which flows perfectly
37:14into just the party lifestyle and the entertaining lifestyle very very nice yeah when we sitting down yeah
37:24before they get round the table there's still the bedrooms to feast upon so here we are into wow one of
37:34three king-sized bedrooms all en suite two of which have got their own private terrace all right oh
37:42they can decide which is going to be your main bedroom gosh decisions decisions that's one of the
37:48bedrooms got a bar in it because that would just stop it off well do you know what it might have would
37:53you like to go and have a look around the rest of the house and discover enjoy and you I'm excited I'm
38:02excited to get the feedback on this the thing is they'll be like it as it is today they're gonna
38:07absolutely love it when it's sunny in the sunshine oh it's a hot tub it looks like a hot tub oh wow
38:21wow now this is massive they've said they wanted outdoor space so we've given them outdoor space in
38:26fact we've given them so much more outdoor space than they could ever imagine yeah the landlady returns
38:31yeah exactly it's exciting it's not even seen the private pool yet no like that the downside would
38:41be i know you can hear it more today because of the rain the road noise and the traffic you've
38:47discovered a few other motorway yeah no elevator's come to that before oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i know for
38:54me i guess yeah welcome to the costa blanca rain thank you very much did we tell you we're bringing
39:07you to a water park yeah absolutely so how did you feel about what you've seen very very nice
39:14yeah entertainment wise you can't beat that yeah but the more elevated you get all you can hear is
39:22that you've got the road noise which is a shame really because other than that it'll be a lovely
39:27quiet property yeah well funnily enough it was on the market for 385 all right and it's just been
39:32reduced to 325 yeah because of the road noise yeah and that's the thing that's the compromise on
39:37this one so we're going to head back to the office okay and leave you to have a think about all of the
39:42houses that we've seen let's go all right let's go thank you despite a positive start property three
39:48hasn't brought the telltale tears to debbie's eyes but can a little reflection bring them back round to
39:54any of the alderton's offerings property one had shared grounds but the sea view stirred up some
40:01serious emotions oh wow oh no property two a detached villa needed a good measure of tlc it needs updating
40:12it's not modern enough and property three had the perfect blend of in and outdoor living
40:20but they weren't entertained by the road noise now they're back with their final decision
40:28hello hello how are you doing all right so how do you think it's gone beautiful properties you ticked
40:36every box with the size of the last property but it wasn't until you got to the elevated levels that you
40:43could hear the road the road noise yeah so i think we're gonna have to say no to those three yeah
40:49but maybe seek your advice and we are prepared to maybe up our budget to get we need really yeah i
40:57think that's very wise well we're excited now because that means that we're able to go property
41:02shopping again with you yes and hopefully it'll be sunny yes fantastic well it's not goodbye it's
41:11hasta la proxima oh yeah i am 100 convinced that we're going to get them their property if they
41:20can go up in budget we've got four or five properties straight away that will tick every
41:24single box are you up for that challenge mr oh i'm always up for a challenge i'll live with you
41:30whatever
41:31back in alicante the rodriguez sisters have been working towards a holiday villa to bring lisa and
41:47paul's family together with a top budget of 400 000 euros property one had star quality but lacked the
41:54x factor outside space just got a little bit too small though property two needed updating it showed
42:02potential but the price tag put paid to its success i think it might be too much yeah i think it'll be too
42:08much and property three was all singing and dancing that is a view but being so close to the top of
42:16their budget 395 000 euros okay left paul and lisa with much to consider now they're back
42:29with their final decision for sophie and charlotte have you had time to talk things over
42:35yeah we really like property number three yeah yeah i think that ticked all the boxes didn't it yeah
42:44inside outside the room the space the parking condition well have you decided what you'd like to do
42:52moving forward we'd like to put an offering i'll probably like to start off at 350
43:00i think that's a sensible offer we would consider 350 000 a cheeky offer in today's market if that's
43:09what you want us to go in at that's what we'll do if you think that we're not going to get it at 350
43:15i'll increase you're not going to get it okay i'll go another 20 round that's sensible that's right
