00:00on Spain's stunning southern Costa Blanca around the ever-popular seaside
00:04resort of Torre de Acre I'm Laura Hamilton and for over 20 years I've had
00:09a passion for buying renovating and selling property today I'll be using my
00:14skills to help Claire and Vicky friends who are very much in harmony with each
00:18other it has an extra bathroom oh this is two bed I like that and the
00:26properties keep making a splash welcome to the pool Wow I visit a villa in a very
00:36desirable location I've spied the sea over there and a very well manicured tree
00:41yes it's a very well looked after plot but at the end of the day will I find my
00:47house hunters their perfect place in the Sun
00:51oh that's that's absolutely lovely Vicky and Claire and Claire's partner Paul all
01:01live under one roof they do everything together and they describe themselves as
01:06one big happy family so much so they've decided to pull their finances and buy a
01:11holiday home here on Spain's southern Costa Blanca Vicky met Claire seven years ago
01:16through Paul and they've been inseparable ever since they even work
01:20together my family is basically Paul and Vicky and the puppies we're the best of
01:31friends we're more like sisters in our relationship we get on so well more like
01:37twins after time finishing each other sentences knowing what the other one's
01:41gonna say usually laughing all the time cracking jokes we we've got a similar
01:48sense of humor it's just a lovely family atmosphere all the time as well as living
01:56together in their bungalow in stoke-on-trent they've decided it's the
02:00perfect time to buy a holiday home to share in tour of the echo too they have a
02:04budget of 70,000 pounds to find it around a two-and-a-half-hour flight from the UK
02:14into Alicante and a 40-minute drive takes you to Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca in
02:19southeast Spain literally translated as old tower named after the many watchtowers
02:24along the coastline from when this was a fishing village Torrevieja is now a
02:28popular tourist destination with holidaymakers enjoying the gorgeous sandy
02:32beaches and water sports the nature reserves the two salt lakes and of
02:38course the many restaurants and bars too with year-round sunshine beautiful
02:43beaches and affordable prices demand for property around Torrevieja is increased
02:47by 40% over the last two years to keep up construction on previously abandoned
02:53projects has restarted and there are plans to build over 8,000 new homes in the
02:57next three years all of which according to agents makes this a great time to buy
03:02before we start the search I'm meeting my house hunters to find out exactly what
03:07they're looking for Claire and Vicki welcome to Torrevieja thank you very much
03:12so how does it feel standing here it's quite surreal there's someone else involved in the
03:18search as well isn't there there is my partner Paul will you be reporting back to
03:23Paul are you gonna be making the decision between the two of you no we'll be
03:27reporting back to Paul and then if we decide that we want to go ahead with
03:31something he'll said he's gonna come fly out and have a look fantastic exciting
03:36times oh amazing you've chosen this part of Spain Torrevieja why this particular
03:41area just from like looking online and things it just seems to have everything
03:45we need walks cycling just being outdoors really
03:50have you spent much time in this part of Spain Claire no we haven't so how many times have you
03:55been to this part with this is the first time wow so it's even more exciting it's all brand new for us
04:02what's on your wish list when it comes to property we're ideally looking for two beds
04:07one bathroom outside space for the pups we've got three dogs so hopefully they
04:13shall all be coming out with us as long as we're close to some amenities a pool
04:19would be a cherry on the cake it's not the be all and end all for us and like
04:25with the the two bedrooms they need to be of similar size not just one master
04:31bedroom and then like a small box room yeah cuz I mean you don't want to be on
04:35bunk beds no this is a holiday home isn't it in the first instance in the
04:42first instance perhaps we think probably just for the next two years and then
04:48when we can get everything tied up at home it's going to be our permanent move
04:51Wow so you've got a budget of seventy thousand pounds to spend yes we've got a
04:59bit of wiggle room haven't we up we have yeah what what we think 80,000 so you
05:03could go up another ten would have to be the one okay fab so if you are happy
05:10shall we get on with the set yes please thank you I'm excited to get started but
05:18as these two have never been to Torrevieca before I think I should give
05:21them a bit of a feel for the town first and I know the perfect spots welcome to
05:26our first stop the boardwalk in Torrevieca what do you think of this it's
05:30beautiful beautiful very popular place to come obviously lined with the bars the
05:35restaurants what would a morning look like in oh a stroll down here with the
05:39dogs sit and have a coffee do a bit of people watching are you beachy people do
05:46you like to sort of come to the beach me and Paul like beach I go on the beach
05:51which doesn't like sand and a toes very much do you know how would you feel if I
05:57told you our first property was around a 15 minute drive from this very spot that's
06:04not bad at all is it that surprising yes does does well should we head there now
06:09so yes please yes we're heading to a neighborhood called El Chaparral a
06:17thriving residential area that I think could work really well for Claire and
06:21Vicky my first property is in a fabulous urbanization with lots going on nearby
06:26and has the added bonus of this welcome to the pool wow really really pretty yeah
06:37very pretty indeed so you weren't expecting this no no we weren't mainly because of the
06:42budget you don't expect on the budget that we've got to get a pool but it's really nice lovely so
06:50let's take a little stroll to the property which is 30 seconds away oh come on then
06:54let's go exciting well here we have it in front of us wow our first property very
07:04pretty lovely three bedrooms wow in this one this is your main outside space here
07:10yes very nice that big enough for the dogs do you think they're only they're only
07:15small yes they're only tiny it's currently priced just over seventy eight thousand
07:23pounds so you like what you see from the outside yes so far so good
07:27sure we take a look around yes please definitely
07:30well I couldn't have asked for a better reaction to the communal pool and they were pretty impressed
07:38with the patio area at the front of the property too inside is an open-plan lounge diner which leads
07:44through to a good-sized kitchen a little outside storage area there are also two double bedrooms one a
07:51bit larger than the other but I don't think it would be too much of a compromise especially as
07:56there's a third single bedroom here too and a modern shower room step inside I love it your reaction oh yes
08:09it's very nice very bright lighter than yes it was gonna be having the dining table there I mean would
08:16you would you we wouldn't have a dining table would be no I'm the only person that sits at a table Paul and
08:23Claire sit on the sofa they could put me on a little corner somewhere but we'd make room for some more
08:30furniture into the kitchen then it's a good size it's nice nice counter space you know plenty of unit
08:41space that you can use well you can hit those markets here can't you get all the fresh produce
08:45bring it back and say all right Paul crack on we're heading to the pool sounds like a plan so
08:53this is one of the two larger bedrooms what do you think of this nice and bright nice and bright it's
09:01nice that you've got the air conditioning and you've got the built-in wardrobe it's good it's a bit small
09:07but it's manageable because it's a ground floor apartment it's almost like being in a bungalow
09:15and we live in a bungalow and that's what we like so that's the appeal for me it's a beautiful place
09:23beautiful property but I think maybe just a little bit more space okay well I tell you what why don't
09:30you go and have a look around the rest of it see what you'd want to do with a third bedroom yeah
09:36because you know it does have one more bedroom than you asked for and then we will catch up back
09:41outside okay off you go thank you well that's really interesting because I think that Vicky can
09:49see this really working for her as a permanent home but I'm not so sure about Claire it is the
09:55first property and maybe they're just holding things back because we've got more to see third
10:02bedroom small it's not that small as I thought actually not for a third room not when we were
10:09not expecting a third room anyway this is a bit bigger yes that's a nice size I think this one
10:16might be my room I think it might be there's definitely been a bit of a mixed reaction to
10:25this El Chaparral apartment on the market for just over 78,000 pounds I wonder what their final take
10:30on it will be hiya how'd you get on then very nice thank you very good so you like it it's lovely the
10:40layouts lovely but I just think it's a little bit too small is it a contender are you a bit um on the
10:49fence want to see what else you've got up your sleeve okay okay your wish is my come on let's
10:56see what's up that sleeve it's good to have a property on the back burner at least I'm taking
11:04them seven miles from here to Los Balcones but before we see the property there's someone I want
11:09them to meet as I think they'll have a lot in common well Vicky Claire I'd like to introduce you to so so
11:21so interestingly you purchased here having never been to the area before which is much like Claire
11:29and Vicky yeah we did we came over on inspection trip about 20 years ago and we ended up buying a
11:36property never expecting to but we did wow and we'd never been to Spain before how have you found
11:41the move here for us it went very smoothly we had we didn't really have any problems at all we were
11:48very lucky to retire over here so for us it was very smooth ever go back to UK possibly I'd never say
11:53never being in this part of Spain the food's great the health care is great we love it because of the
11:59weather mainly it's been lovely to chat to you yeah we are gonna head to our next property no giving
12:04anything away super three minutes away close yes it's close right okay okay bye bye coming up I
12:15can't wait to hear what Vicky and Claire make of my next property a two-bedroom apartment with some
12:20lovely views from its private roof terrace today I'm on Spain's stunning southern Costa Blanca helping best
12:33friends Claire and Vicky find a holiday home that will one day become their permanent home with Claire's
12:38partner Paul he's leaving the legwork to Vicky and Claire though they want to find somewhere that
12:43works for all three of them and their three dogs to for their maximum 80,000 pound budget they liked
12:48my first property and is still tentatively in the running but I know ideally they want somewhere a bit
12:54bigger so I've brought them to Los Balcones to a top-floor apartment in a small urbanisation it's just a
13:03short walk away from the bars restaurants and shops and I think the location would work really well for
13:08Claire and Vicky so first stop the communal pool so here we are look at this we are out the fine
13:17space okay oh that's that's absolutely lovely why do you think you've been overcome with emotion I don't
13:30know it's just sometimes you get a feeling for a place and I've got a nice feeling about this place
13:37oh it's the palm trees look at the lovely trees it's everything it's beautiful flowers really is
13:43beautiful they really do care about the community here we're gonna look at one of the apartments when
13:50you're ready of course so we're loving the outside space here big tick there location works yes yes big
13:58sick there let's head to the apartment then go everything cross that's a big tick too yeah let's
14:04go thank you so a couple of steps from the pool then and the property we're gonna look out now is
14:10on the corner corner plot two bed one bath so this place has been on the market for a year and is
14:17currently priced just over 82 and a half thousand pounds but the agent has said there would be room
14:22to negotiate that not much though but within your top end wiggle room what would Paul say about this
14:31one do you think and this location I think he'd like this location have you spoken to Paul at all
14:36about the first property yes we have we've spoken in length about it and it's gonna be a non contender
14:43okay he liked the outside area but he just felt that the rooms were a little bit too small for what
14:51we were wanting so we're ruling out the first property Paul is vetoed by him and he's not even
14:58here we should head inside this one and see what you think then definitely yes please as well as the
15:06communal pool this apartment has a balcony and a huge roof terrace inside is a lounge diner which leads
15:14through to the kitchen the two double bedrooms here are equal sizes so no arguments over those and
15:21there's a shower room set this way so what do you think of this area I like this I like the flooring if you
15:31you can just move it round to how you feel that it should be I like the color yellow is one of my
15:38favorite colors so you'd keep the color but you just changed the layout of the furniture furniture yeah
15:45so shall we have a look at one of the bedrooms let's let's head this one take a couple thank you
15:48so this is the second bedroom I'm very stunning I love that loving the color yes I am and what
16:01about the size and space in here I like it it's good size it is well should we head upstairs to
16:07the roof terrace and take a look at that outside face yeah please I love the fact you're so excited
16:11so look at this space your roof terrace what do you think very lovely indeed this is lovely so
16:25obviously you come out of the lounge onto that little patio down there and you've got this area
16:29up here so I'm thinking as much as I know you all love spending time together it's almost quite nice
16:34that you have like little individual areas as well yes if you want to get away from each other after
16:38you've had enough what do you think of those views stunning absolutely beautiful why don't you go and
16:44explore and I will see you afterwards thank you well I'm disappointed to hear that they've ruled out
16:51property one because they don't think it's big enough but by the sounds of things this is a big
16:56improvement fingers crossed very nice Claire this is good it's a nice size you don't want anything
17:05much bigger than this no you don't just run it now I like this room very nice just your color as well
17:15Vicky yeah and you've got the the wardrobe space so super Claire was reduced to tears outside this corner
17:23apartment with a solarium on the market for just over a negotiable eighty two and a half thousand
17:28pounds I'm feeling confident about this one absolutely superb brilliant what did you like
17:37about in particular it was light it was airy it the flow was nice good anything you weren't sure on no I
17:46loved all of it is it contender yes so moving on from here are you sort of feeling much the same or
17:58another bathroom maybe or what you know what would you like I think another bathroom maybe if if we can
18:04stretch it let's head to our next property then okay with things going so well I think this time
18:14for a pit stop on route to the next property Claire and Vicky have never been here before at all so I
18:19want to show them somewhere I think will be appealing for the whole family the reason I
18:24brought you here is this is that one of the dog friendly beaches in the area excellent see a few
18:29little doggies down there oh yes all having a good time do you get to take the dogs to the beach very
18:35much at all in the UK and not much no yeah they do have a bit of a run around with sand in the
18:41tone oh have you ever taken them abroad before never what would the plan be would you put them in a
18:49car and drive over or I mean I know they're little so certain airlines you can actually take the dogs
18:53on board I think the initial plan is to see about bringing them in the car but I would also inquire
19:00about because they're small flying them in with us right well we're gonna head to our next property
19:07it's 10 minutes in the car and 45 minutes on the bus fabulous lovely ready to look yes thank you
19:18coming up I'm positive Claire and Vicky will love my next property which has an extra
19:23bathroom and this fabulous low maintenance outside space today I'm on Spain stunning southern Costa
19:36Blanca helping fun-loving friends Vicky and Claire find a holiday home around the beautiful salt lakes
19:41of Torrevieja and although there's room for improvement I'm pleased to say I bag myself my first contender
19:48they fell for this corner apartment with the amazing solarium in Los Balcones as it would
19:53work for them Claire's partner Paul and their three dogs they would love a second bathroom though if
19:59their maximum budget of 80,000 pounds could stretch to it so I've brought them to Los Altos a town just
20:07south of Torrevieja it's smaller but it's got everything here Claire Vicky and Paul could want
20:11and with properties around 12% cheaper than Los Balcones I've managed to line up a bigger apartment
20:18next property how's this for outside today very easy I thought you you might like this it has an extra
20:27bathroom oh so this is two bed I like that two bed two bath this is priced very similarly to the
20:37previous property so it's on the market just over 82 and a half thousand pounds again there would be a bit
20:43of room to negotiate but not a huge amount right shall we take a look around inside and talk more
20:51in the living room yes please this apartment has access to a lovely communal swimming pool as well
20:58as the private patio to the front that Claire and Vicky already love inside is a living and dining room a
21:05separate compact kitchen which leads out to a little courtyard there are two double bedrooms a
21:12shower room and that extra bathroom so if you are wanting more space this apartment is actually 10
21:23square meters larger than the previous properties very nice thinking that wrap around sofa yes that would
21:32go nicely there just there lovely so you're liking the space yes loving the space now it's not a it's
21:41not a huge kitchen is there enough space here for what you would want to declare I think so yeah there's
21:48there's plenty of counter space and you've got everything there you washing machine fridge freezer cooker so my
21:57idea is if you did feel the kitchen wasn't quite big enough for you you could kind of continue along the
22:06wall here with a bit of an outside kitchen prep area yes because if you notice next door have actually
22:14enclosed it yes oh yes I can feel that this potential there why don't you go and have a look around the rest of
22:21of it the two bedrooms which again I've made sure are similar size there is no yellow but there are two
22:29bathrooms we've got a bathroom each as well go and explore now see you in a bit thank you this is by far the
22:39largest property that they've seen so far and it sounds as though it's going really well so fingers
22:44crossed they like both the bedrooms and both the bathrooms well this is nice size and it's got air
22:54con as well like it's always your built-in yeah no this is a lovely size like this mm-hmm nice and bright
23:02nice size for me TV up there yes you and the pups on the bed exactly things seem to be going well at
23:17this ground floor apartment on the market for just over a negotiable eighty two and a half thousand pounds
23:22have I got myself another contender well well how did it go very lovely thank you oh do we have a new
23:34favorite that's not favorites on the same part but in a different level to the last one we just viewed
23:41right so it's on a par but a different level do you mean because it's ground floor as opposed to
23:45the first floor so yeah oh really literally just that it's kind of a ground floor alternative the
23:52other one you've got the solarium which is lovely but this one this space out here is lovely yeah
23:58and you like the second bathroom that was a very nice treat what do you think Paul would say about
24:05this one I think he'd like this but then the other one does pull on the heartstrings yes well this is
24:13good it's a good sign though to two contenders then so far yes yes okay well as we've got these
24:17in the bag moving forward you live in a bungalow yes how would you feel if I could find you something
24:26that was a bit on par with what you have back home that would be special yeah I'd like that very much
24:32yes let's go look well let me thank you we're heading back to El Chaparral for my next property but as
24:40it's so close to one of Tora Vieca's famous salt lakes I just had to take Claire and Vicky there
24:45first to see it the pink lake of Tora Vieca now you've not been here in person so you've only seen
24:51them online exactly and read about them is it living up to your expectations more so is it it's a pinch me
24:57moment is it yeah it's lovely standing here it's so calm and tranquil and it's very very beautiful yeah
25:05this one's pink because actually the bacteria there's a certain type of bacteria in here that
25:11makes it pink and in addition to that there's also some little shrimps some pink shrimp that are in here
25:17that the flamingos eat yeah and that is apparently why they're the color they are wow
25:25very good so there you go yes so shall we head to our next property we're feeling calm tranquil and zen
25:32very much yes let's go thank you we're heading to an established residential urbanization called
25:42San Luis properties here have increased by around seven percent in the last year but despite that
25:47I've still managed to line up a great bungalow and while it doesn't have a pool it could really be a
25:53great home from home step this way not far then from the lake which you can almost touch oh yes
26:04touch that can't you this is oh wow wow it's a two-bed one-bath bungalow wow it's lovely that is
26:16beautiful now it's currently priced just over 81 and a half thousand pounds the agent has said you
26:24would be able to negotiate to around 78 thousand pounds wow any other thoughts at all before you
26:30take a look around can't wait to get in there that's all okay right well you can look around
26:34this on on your own and I will be out here waiting in sunshine thank you
26:39well that's a fantastic initial response I just hope that the second bedroom isn't going to be too
26:49small for them they clearly love the look of this bungalow the front terrace is a great size and secure
26:56for the dogs and there's a staircase up to a gorgeous solarium with views of the pink lake inside is a
27:04spacious lounge diner which is open to the kitchen at the back the main bedroom is a good size the
27:11second a little smaller but still a double and there's a family bathroom
27:18Wow very lovely now this is ticking all the boxes I'm liking the lighting and I love that wallpaper as
27:29well it's nice tiles that not a lovely color it's lovely really is lovely this is very nice Claire it's
27:40beautiful enough workspace for you cooking oh definitely I think Paul would like it in here
27:47as well yeah I can just relax in there and watch you through them this is nice room look at this it's
27:59quite quirky isn't it it's lovely you wore drapes no this is a lovely space look at this Claire oh wow
28:12isn't this stunning what beautiful space you can see the pink lake oh beautiful isn't that lovely it's
28:25almost as tranquil as standing there isn't it it is it's lovely this pink lake bungalow on the market
28:32for just over 81 and a half thousand pounds had a great reaction from the very beginning I'm intrigued to
28:38see what they think of it now they've seen it all hi hello what happened oh absolutely fabulous what do
28:49you like so much about it the kitchen brilliant don't have to do anything to it all the natural
28:57light the space in the living room I've got to ask how did you feel about the bedrooms because that that
29:01was the the one sort of thing that's in King or are you gonna be happy with the space I love the second
29:07bedroom perfect I like the wardrobe going around the bed and it's just really cozy in there perfect
29:14so where does that leave us in terms of contenders for me this is a contender and it is the front
29:22runner definitely so this is the new front runner yeah it's the top one right wow we've got one last
29:29property left to look at and now I think I've got you know a really good idea of what you want what
29:37you like will you trust me with this final one yes most definitely shall we head to our last property
29:43see what that brings and then you better call Paul and let him know yes which your favorites are we
29:47certainly well let's go okay coming up will my final property another bungalow make the shortlist
29:55excellent choice yeah spoilers yeah today I'm house hunting around the popular seaside town of
30:08Torrevieca on Spain's southern Costa Blanca with best friends Vicky and Claire who are looking for a
30:14holiday home that will one day become a permanent home for them and Claire's partner Paul as well as
30:19their three dogs the search is going so well we currently have three contenders and I've got one
30:25last property to show them Paul's at home for now but he'll be flying over here to see anything they
30:30might want to buy for their maximum eighty thousand pound budget and he might need to start packing as
30:36the more we see the more they seem to like this first floor corner apartment with the amazing
30:41solarium and this ground floor apartment are both strong contenders but heading up the shortlist is
30:46this bungalow by the pink lake my final property though could well top the lot but before that I'm
30:54heading off to visit a detached villa in one of the most expensive neighborhoods of Torrevieca La Valetta
31:00on the market for just under one and a half million pounds this four bedroom home is in an enviable
31:06location I'm meeting the agent Emma who's agreed to show me around wow so what are we about to look
31:15at we're about to look at this stunning villa it was built in early 2000s I've spied the sea over there
31:21and a very well manicured tree yes it's a very well looked after plot and the property is literally a
31:27stone's throw away from the sea you've not got a two-minute walk to the beach from here brilliant
31:31can we go inside yeah let's get in so welcome I love the split level it's really lovely they've
31:39done such a great job on the property although it's only 23 years old they they've done some
31:44really beautiful traditional features throughout the property such as the split level the open
31:49archways the exposed beam yeah to say that the beams and the stonework around that fireplace really
31:54sort of give I suppose the new build home some character yes definitely there's that sea view
32:01yeah you can't miss it can you I mean it is a great location isn't it it really is you've got
32:05absolutely everything on your doorstep here from bars supermarkets restaurants everything's stone
32:09throw away and everything in the house by the looks of things as well with some great storage space
32:14yeah you also have your own office here and a fully fitted ensuite bathroom well I did spy the pool
32:21yeah so can we have a look at the outside space next come through and have a look this seems like
32:28quite a sizable plot considering you're so close to the beach so the plot itself is substantial 800
32:36square meters is fairly big for this area by itself the plot and cut today's market would be around 1
32:41million pounds Wow good luck with the sale thanks so much for showing me around nice to see you've
32:47got to get back to my house it's back to the house hunt but as Claire and Vicky are totally new to this
32:55area there's one more place I want to show them before we go to the final property the tour of
33:00Ica Greenway the perfect place to take their three dogs for a walk so our final stop before we head to
33:07the final property this pathway here or this route actually it's 10 miles this is a former train line
33:14and that was the train that was used to transport the salt from the lakes to tour of Ica it's so
33:21beautiful here really is absolutely you can't ask for anything else it's tranquil and calm but you're still
33:29close to things Paul's gonna be joining us later on tonight isn't he gonna be helping you come to a
33:36decision as to whether you know the area is right and whether you've found the right house or two or
33:44three or should we head to our final property then yes please go I'm taking them five minutes drive from
33:54here to El Chaparral again as it's an area they seem to really like this time though we're heading
33:59to an urbanization called El Limonar and I've managed to line up a fabulous property for the lowest amount
34:05so far just under seventy seven and a half thousand pounds as you liked the previous property the bungalow so
34:16much I thought I'd show you bungalow that's our final property excellent choice yeah spoiling us and
34:24there is there it's two bed one bath renovated five years ago the agent has said they think you'd be able
34:32to get it for around seventy five thousand pounds the owners are keen to sell right shall we head inside
34:39yes please the property has a private courtyard at the front and another larger one at the back so
34:48plenty of room for the dogs the open plan living area has a cozy lounge and a modern kitchen at the
34:54other end as well as a utility room there were two good-sized double bedrooms and a shower room
35:00come on in so this property all open plan utility room there on the left it's good to have yeah how
35:12do you feel about this kitchen and the workspace compared to what you've seen this is this is
35:19brilliant mmm it's the biggest one yeah lots lots of space into this bedroom this is nice and bright
35:30mmm it's a big space it's good do you think it surprised you that you've you've liked so many
35:36properties yeah you think to yourself right I've got a mindset of what I'm looking for and then
35:41something else comes along and you like that one and then something else comes along and you like that
35:46one bit like being in a sweet shop isn't it you know how that one you can't have them all you
35:52know choose one let's take a look at the outside space at the back then so you think of that okay
35:57I'll follow you now I know I brought you in through the kitchen but actually beauty of this place is
36:06you could use that as your front door instead yeah come in this way definitely this is a good space very
36:13nice space isn't it it's nice having the two the one yes and the one at the back mmm because you can

36:44don't think it would be needing one of those no not in this weather it's a nice space very good space
36:55but I think we would not have the furniture no lose the furniture our corner suite would come along
37:02there and come along here very nicely Claire and Vicky seem to be impressed with the space inside and
37:07outside this bungalow with the two patios on the market for just under seventy seven and a half thousand
37:12pounds I wonder where this one's going to rank did you like it loved it yay thought it was very bright
37:25mmm it looked a lot more spacious because of the high ceilings price is good yeah price is very good
37:32so what was discussed about the other apartments and the bungalow did you have you narrowed it down
37:38any more but the other bungalow is still I think it's still the front runner for me is it really mm-hmm

37:54contenders so Paul is heading out later this evening whoo you gotta love to discuss yes chat with Paul

39:48thinking I haven't looked at it like you said that our original budget was seventy if it was something
39:55spectacular we could push to eighty we'd like to offer seventy two thousand pounds hey I think that I

40:07any offers during that time so if you're all happy how excited gonna put an offer forward yes please see what
40:17happens yeah yeah okay let's do it hello it's Laura from a place in the sun so I am just with Claire Vicky and Paul and we are
40:31discussing the property that they viewed with you and we are just talking offers so the offer that we would like to make is seventy two thousand pounds
40:44what I'd like to point out is they are in a position to move immediately they don't have any property to sell

42:18come down to 73 900 you said that if they didn't accept that you'd leave that on the table and think
