00:00Today on Howl.
00:05We're starting on Spain's stunning Costa Almaria in and around the historic fishing village.
00:10I'm Ben Hillman, an interior designer and property.
00:15For the past few years, I've been helping house hunters find their dream properties.
00:20Whilst giving them a little design inspiration too.
00:23Today I'm going to be using all my...
00:25To find a holiday home for Rob and Roisin and I deliver them the perfect package.
00:30It's the gift that keeps on giving.
00:32Is it?
00:33Spot on.
00:34Oh, awesome.
00:35Though I do need to up my game on the style front.
00:38This was the height of fashion.
00:40Is it still the height of fashion for you now?
00:42No.
00:43No.
00:44I visited...
00:45It's a luxury villa.
00:46That's too cool for school.
00:47It could be a rock star's house.
00:49It could...
00:50It could be a rock star, Carol.
00:51But at the end of the day, do I find my house unt...
00:55That's their perfect place in the sun.
00:57Oh, Ben, what have you done to us?
00:58I don't know.
00:59What have I done to you?
01:00Dilemmas.
01:01Wow.
01:02Oh, I do like a dilemma.
01:04Mmm.
01:05But I've not taken them.
01:08Oh, you're a gal.
01:09Holoni Henry.
01:10Hahaha.
01:11Jasper'm.
01:12Oh, my man.
01:13I'm just waiting.
01:14And let me find out some of those in the exhibit.
01:18P uraniumitis.
01:19Sins.
01:21So, how can you find your hair?
01:23Oh, my family.
01:25Just what have you thought?
01:27Hey.
01:29Oh, myît.
01:30I didn't see you though.
01:31Oh.
01:32Yo, I'm always impressed.
01:33I've been there.
01:34Roshin, who live in Essex, have been together for 37 years and married for 35 of us.
01:39They've fallen hook, line and sinker for Costa Almeria after many years.
01:44We've been there every year for the last six years and absolutely love it.
01:49We love the vibe, we love the chilled out environment.
01:54It's less commercialised.
01:56You always say it feels like old Spain.
01:59You used to go when you were a child because it's got a busy sort of feel about it.
02:04But it's not over busy and it's not, you know, it just feels...
02:09It's different, doesn't it?
02:10Every time we've been there we've just had just the most excellent time.
02:14With Roshin having recently retired and Rob not too far away from it, they have a budget of $100,000.
02:19to buy a holiday home for them to use with friends, their two grown-up daughters.
02:24And most importantly, their dog Alfie.
02:29To get to Costa Almeria in the south of Spain, you fly to Almeria Airport.
02:34Which takes about three hours from the UK.
02:36Then it's just under an hour's drive north-east to Garoote.
02:39Costa Almeria has more than 130 miles of stunning coastline.
02:44But there's a lot more to this Costa than the old sun, sea and sand.
02:49This region has a number of beautiful and historic towns as well as some great countryside.
02:54making it very popular with hikers and cyclists.
02:57Plus, as one of Spain's main...
02:59cultural areas, you're never far away from a tasty local treat and something nice to...
03:04wash it down with.
03:05This stretch of the Spanish coastline is fantastic if you're looking...
03:09for more bang for your buck.
03:11Typically, like for like properties here, sell for at least...
03:14half of what they would do down on the Costa del Sol.
03:17In fact, you can find a two...
03:19two-bedroom apartment close to the beach with outside space and in good...
03:24condition from as little as £56,000.
03:27All of which bodes very...
03:29nicely for my search with Roisin and Rob.
03:32Before we get going...
03:34I'm meeting up with my house hunters on Playa del Palmorel in Mahaka, a spot...
03:39I know they really love.
03:40Rob and Roisin, welcome to Costa del Moria.
03:43How does it feel to be...
03:44here?
03:45Well, thank you, Ben.
03:46Yeah, it's absolutely wonderful to be back.
03:48We've been looking...
03:49here for the last couple of years and we've...
03:51we've looked at a lot...
03:52a lot of properties and not found...
03:54anything that's suitable.
03:55How many properties would you say you've seen?
03:5720.
03:58I'm getting...
03:59a little nervous.
04:00You're...
04:01challenge.
04:02Are your friends living out here permanently?
04:04No, no, no.
04:05They come down for winter.
04:06They're on the 90 day rule.
04:07Yeah.
04:08Right.
04:09Okay, which you...
04:09will be as well.
04:10And...
04:11will we get Irish passports?
04:12Yeah.
04:13Okay.
04:14And what are you going to be getting...
04:14up to then with these potentially months...
04:16that you're going to be out here in the winter...
04:18when he...
04:19finally retired?
04:20Hoping to be a lot more active.
04:22A lot of walking with the dog.
04:24And you like golf?
04:25Yeah.
04:26There's two golf courses very close by.
04:27Look, let's talk about the surge.
04:29and the property...
04:30What are your favourite areas, would you say?
04:32So any...
04:33I mean, anywhere along...
04:34here from Mahaka to Gerrucha...
04:36Mm-hmm.
04:37but inland as well...
04:38about...
04:3920 minutes from the beach...
04:40or...
04:41or...
04:42and the local bars and restaurants.
04:43Would that...
04:44be by car or by foot or...
04:45Oh, to be able to walk.
04:46To be able to walk, I think.
04:47To be able to walk, right.
04:48Inside...
04:49would be...
04:50two bedrooms...
04:51double.
04:52Must be double bedrooms.
04:53Okay.
04:54getting all our friends and family out.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Outside space is a balcony.
04:57If it's got a community pool, that would be...
04:59you know, the icing on the cake.
05:00Mm.
05:01A view of the sea would be perfect.
05:02Sure.
05:03And...
05:04nice and bright and airy inside.
05:06Okay.
05:07So open pan...
05:08modern.
05:09Are you happy with doing a little bit of work to it at all?
05:11Where are you at with that?
05:12You didn't want to do too much, did you?
05:14I mean, a lick of paint would be okay.
05:15We don't mind...
05:16a little bit.
05:17If it's so needed...
05:18and so...
05:19kitchen or bathroom, if it was within budget, we could do that.
05:22Potentially get somebody here to do it.
05:23Yeah.
05:24Potentially get somebody here to do it.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Okay.
05:26Apart from that, I think we're fairly flexible.
05:27So the budget is 110.
05:28Is there any more...
05:29on top of that we could push...
05:30Another 10 on top of that.
05:31Another 10.
05:32So about 10% on top as well.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Yeah.
05:34Look, I know you're eager to go and see some properties.
05:37Shall we hit the road?
05:39Yes.
05:40Let's go.
05:41Come on.
05:42Great.
05:43Crikey.
05:44Rob and Roisin have seen...
05:44And rejected 20 properties in the past couple of years.
05:48I'm definitely going to have to...
05:49to be on tip top form on this search.
05:52But with that maximum budget of 120...
05:54£20,000, I'm confident I can deliver most of what's on their very long...
05:59wish list.
06:00Beginning with my first place just up the coast in the town of Gorucha, a popular...
06:04tourist spot which still has a working harbour for local fishermen.
06:07I thought we'd take a look around...
06:09en route to property number one.
06:10So, we're starting off our search in Gorucha.
06:14Lovely.
06:15Down by the port, to be more precise.
06:17Is this a place you come to, you visit a lot?
06:19We've been here loads of times, haven't we?
06:21Yeah.
06:22We like it here.
06:23When it's a working harbour, you can see they're loading up the ships.
06:24We've got to take them down to the coast.
06:25And have you actually been over to the market there where they sell the project?
06:29Yes, we have.
06:30Yes, we have.
06:31What is that like?
06:32Oh, so busy.
06:33So busy.
06:34Is it?
06:34Really, really good.
06:35Have you tasted the very famous Gorucha red shrimp?
06:39We have.
06:40Is it as good as they say?
06:41It is special.
06:42It really is lovely.
06:43Yeah, but of course we've got to find...
06:44Find you the right place.
06:45Yes.
06:46First place we're going to see is in Gorucha.
06:47Super excited.
06:48Have a look at that.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Yes.
06:51No time to nibble on a red shrimp now, unfortunately, but...
06:54I'm about to serve up a tasty treat.
06:56In property terms, at least.
06:57Brushing and Rob.
06:59Gorucha, which is popular with Spanish, British and Belgian buyers in particular,
07:04is one of the more affordable seaside spots on the Costa Almaria.
07:07So I've managed to find what I think...
07:09A great place, just a short stroll from the port for well within their budget.
07:14So...
07:15Going to stop you there.
07:17Just up from the port.
07:19Moments away from all these wonderful bars and restaurants.
07:22Wonderful.
07:23How do you feel?
07:24To be stood outside this particular complex.
07:27So, on first impression...
07:29It's somewhere you would live rather than holiday.
07:32Put down home.
07:33It doesn't have that holiday...
07:34They feel.
07:35It's a two-bedroom property, good-sized living space.
07:38It is, in fact...
07:39The property on the third floor there with the lovely arched balcony.
07:43Lovely.
07:44And it's...
07:44Currently priced at just under £108,000.
07:47Good.
07:48Okay.
07:49So you're not even eating into the wiggle room.
07:51Very good.
07:52Sounds promising.
07:53Okay.
07:54Let's have...
07:54Have a look, shall we?
07:55Okay.
07:56This apartment has access to two communal pools, which are...
07:59unusually, are both on the roof, taking advantage of the fantastic views.
08:03Plus, it has a curved...
08:04balcony with a slightly less spectacular sea view.
08:07Inside, there's a large open-plan living...
08:09room which opens onto the balcony with a semi-separate kitchen.
08:14Two similar-sized double bedrooms and a bathroom.
08:18Come on.
08:19Come on in then.
08:20Third floor.
08:21Quite a nice open entrance where I think.
08:24Yeah.
08:25Lovely and bright.
08:26To the living space.
08:27Is it?
08:28Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:30It's a big open space.
08:29Ben.
08:30Yeah.
08:31This is good.
08:32From the outside, I thought this was going to be more of a home.
08:33Too residential.
08:34Yeah.
08:35But this does feel...
08:36More of a holiday place.
08:37Yeah.
08:40Okay.
08:41Two good-sized double bedrooms.
08:44Good size.
08:45Tables.
08:46Wardrobes there.
08:47Is that a full-size bed?
08:48I think it's a standard double, this.
08:49But you could get a bigger...
08:50Yes.
08:51...bed in here.
08:52Are you feeling like there's much work at all?
08:54To be done in here?
08:55To get it to your standards, your tastes?
08:57I think a bit modernised.
08:59Different colourisation, different curtains and different accessories really more.
09:02Yeah.
09:03I was going to say, look...
09:04It comes furnished.
09:05But it doesn't seem like it's going to be your...
09:07Your taste.
09:08But, you know, it's...
09:09It's okay for now.
09:10...to get you started.
09:11You put your bags down.
09:12You've got a bed, you've got a sofa to get going on.
09:14And then you can take your time getting it just right, I suppose.
09:16Exactly.
09:17Exactly.
09:18You don't have to rush into it.
09:19I quite like the curve.
09:24This is really nice.
09:25It's a good size.
09:26This is lovely.
09:27This is really nice.
09:28It's a good size.
09:29This is lovely.
09:29You could have four out here.
09:30Yeah.
09:31And it's... easily.
09:32Easily.
09:33Yeah.
09:34And enjoy.
09:34The first sea view.
09:35How about that then?
09:37Dick.
09:38Sounds...
09:39Sounds like you're enjoying this place.
09:41Yes, so far.
09:42Yes.
09:43Good stuff.
09:44Of course...
09:44There is a lot more to see.
09:45Why don't you go and do that?
09:47Okay.
09:48I'll enjoy it.
09:49For the view.
09:50Okay.
09:51See you in a minute.
09:52Definitely.
09:53Take as much time as you need.
09:54Well, there you go.
09:55What a great start.
09:56First property and we are already...
09:59on the right track.
10:00It has definitely struck a chord.
10:04Nice to kick him off.
10:05I think it needs updating.
10:06Change a couple of fronts or worktops.
10:07Yeah, I mean...
10:08Just mod...
10:09Modernise it a little bit.
10:10If there was budget left over, we could...
10:12You know...
10:13We could spend on that.
10:14Yeah.
10:14It's possible.
10:15Yeah.
10:16This is nice.
10:17This is lovely.
10:18Good size.
10:19Really good.
10:20Look at that.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Really nice.
10:24Really big view.
10:25A really big view.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Wonderful.
10:28Well...
10:29Even though this apartment, which is on the market for just under £108,000, didn't
10:34make the best...
10:34First impression on Roshin and Rob.
10:36Things improved a lot once we got inside, so...
10:39I'm a pretty happy bunny right now.
10:41Right.
10:42How'd you get on?
10:44Quite well, really.
10:45Did you?
10:46Yes, we did.
10:47Very good.
10:48Yeah, we've had a good look round.
10:49So...
10:49What we really liked was the light and the space.
10:52Both the bedrooms having been proper double bedrooms.
10:54That's really good.
10:55What we didn't like was the kitchen needs.
10:59Ripping out.
11:00The pool area.
11:01It might be nice with more of a holiday feel, but more of a garden sort of area.
11:04So there's a couple of reservations going on, you know, with this particular property.
11:09What does that mean for it?
11:10Is it a contender?
11:11Is it in?
11:12Is it out?
11:13We won't rule it out yet.
11:14But I feel we probably will end up ruling it out.
11:16Okay.
11:17The bits that we'd like...
11:19To improve on, I suppose, are to have more of a less town...
11:24feel.
11:25So you want to favour more of a holiday vibe than the urban?
11:29Kind of feel?
11:30Yes.
11:31Yes.
11:32All right.
11:33Absolutely.
11:34Leave it with me.
11:35Come on.
11:34No.
11:35Not really a contender there, but not a bad start, as that's really useful feedback.
11:39From Robin Roisin.
11:40I've now got a much clearer idea of exactly what floats...
11:44their boat.
11:45As they're planning to bring their four-legged friend Alfie out here with them, I thought
11:49we'd...
11:49head back to Mahaka.
11:50So I can introduce them to a fellow dog owner who can answer any...
11:54nine conundrums they may have.
11:56Rob and Roisin, I want you to meet Nicky.
11:59Who's been enjoying Mahaka for how long now, Nicky?
12:02Nearly six years.
12:03There's one question...
12:04we've got...
12:05we're thinking of renting in the summertime when we're not here.
12:08Yes.
12:09What...
12:09what's the...
12:10what's the process?
12:11Do you do that?
12:12Yes.
12:13Yeah, we do.
12:14We rent out through an agent during the summer months and we do our own...
12:19rentals out of season because we get repeat bookings coming back...
12:23Oh, OK.
12:24People want to...
12:24come back all the time.
12:25Do we bring in our dog?
12:26Yes.
12:27What's it like to...
12:28to walk the dog?
12:29And are they allowed on the beach, for example?
12:31Out of season from, I think it's October to March.
12:34You're allowed on the beach with the dog.
12:36Peak season?
12:37No, it's definitely...
12:39not allowed.
12:40But the walk along the paseo is lovely.
12:43Six kilometres walk.
12:44Perfect.
12:45If you want to.
12:46Lots and lots of people down here have dogs.
12:48There's a massive...
12:49great big rescue centre here.
12:51Yeah.
12:52And people volunteer to take rescue dogs out.
12:54for a walk, which is really lovely as well.
12:56Nikki, thank you so much.
12:57It's been my pleasure.
12:58For giving us your time.
12:59It's been my pleasure.
12:59And good luck with your purchase.
13:01Thank you, Nikki.
13:02Yeah, we've got four more to see.
13:04Come on, let's hit the road.
13:05See you later.
13:06Bye.
13:09Bye.
13:10Bye.
13:14Coming up, if Rasheen and Rob are hankering after more holiday vibes...
13:19And I hope my next offering...
13:20A two-bedroom apartment within this gorgeous complex.
13:24Hits the spot.

17:49might change the covers at some point but possibly not straight away it's fine isn't it yeah it's good
17:54well i couldn't have asked for a better reaction to this apartment which is on the market for a new
17:59negotiable just over 120 and a half thousand pounds robin machines
18:04seem to love it and i'm also loving how things are going for me right now
18:09well look
18:09you've seen the rest of it has it struck all the right notes yes
18:14it really has oh you know whenever i send people off to look around i'm always nervous
18:19is going to be this but no bounce no no there's the location
18:24is fantastic the front terrace is a absolute bonus kitchen is a little bit of tidying up
18:29nice but everything else is just superb it's a contender isn't it absolutely
18:34yeah no doubt big contender absolutely best property you've ever seen
18:39all right then so if i said to you now look guys i don't actually have anything else to show you
18:44would you put an offer in on this to your racket probably would actually yeah yeah probably it's good enough yeah absolutely
18:49absolutely this is the one to beat isn't it can we beat it in in
18:54any way shape or form if you put all of this with apps
18:59absolutely nothing to do right and a view of the beach and the sea
19:04that's nailed it there yeah shall we see if we can possibly beat this
19:09okay come on well i could put my feet up now and take the rest
19:14of the day off but i want to give robin rushing everything they're after rather than just most of
19:19a bit property number three is about ten minutes drive north in a place called las marinas
19:24de vera and i thought we'd check out its beachside promenade on the way to my next option
19:29we've tried a little garuja we've done a little mahaka it's time for a little bit of vera how
19:34well do you know these uh lovely promenades here every time we come here we we will walk along the
19:39this probably two or three times um it's just such a lovely lovely walk up here alfie the dog
19:56you
19:44would be amazing he'd find this fantastic so alfie likes a little stroll along here does he does
19:58you
19:49he's up for it and he likes a little chiringuito too he drags he drags me to the chiringuitos
19:54are they quite dog friendly yeah are they yeah oh there we go in all honesty
19:59i've been stalling you until the sun comes out because i want you to see the next property in its best light
20:04and it's three streets from the beach wow not bad hey come on go
20:09coming up i can't
20:13coming up i can't
20:14wait to find out what rob and roisin make of my next property a two-bed ground floor apartment
20:19which brings back into play those all-important cvs
20:24so
20:29So now we're in southern Spain on the Costa Almeria house.
20:34So now we're going to take a look at the shopping machine and Rob to find their dream holiday home close to the beautiful.
20:39Fishing town of Gorucha and now that we have a firm contender in our safe.
20:44Second property by this search, it's really beginning to heat up.
20:48My house hunters who have...
20:49A budget of £110,000 with an additional £10,000 wiggle room with...
20:54I'm super duper keen on this apartment with two terraces.
20:57So my challenge now is to find some...
20:59Somewhere to top it.
21:00But I reckon I might just do that with property number three.
21:04It's in the coastal town of Las Marinas de Vera, a very popular area with holiday homeowners from...
21:09Belgium, Holland, Germany and the UK.
21:13Price wise it's...
21:14Quite an affordable part of the world.
21:16But to get Rob and Roisin somewhere just a short stroll.
21:19From the beach, I've had to use up a decent chunk of their wiggle room.
21:22I promised I'd show it in...
21:24It's in its best light.
21:25So...
21:26Property is right in front of us.
21:28Ground floor, two beds...
21:29Bedroom apartment.
21:30Just there.
21:31Behind that beautiful Oleander.
21:32Lovely.
21:33Really pretty.
21:34The curb appeal is just...
21:35It's lovely.
21:36Really nice.
21:37Talk me through the curb appeal here.
21:38The building actually...
21:39Looks nice and tidy.
21:40And the greenery.
21:41The hedging and the plants.
21:44And the palm trees.
21:45It's lovely.
21:46Looks really nice.
21:47Are you at ease with the location here?
21:49Oh yes, this is lovely.
21:50This is really nice.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Yeah.
21:53It was originally listed...
21:54£125,000.
21:55It has since been reduced to just under...
21:59£616,500.
22:00It does need a little bit of polishing again.
22:04Okay.
22:05Like the previous property.
22:06Okay.
22:07It's time to go in.
22:08Come on, see you.
22:09This ground floor apartment has a terrace at the front with sea view.
22:14Plus a garden at the back with enough room for Rob and Rasheen's dog Alfie to...
22:19stretch his legs.
22:20And it also has a utility and storage area.
22:24Inside...
22:24There's a large, light and bright living and dining room.
22:27A separate kitchen which could...
22:29Do a bit of a spruce up.
22:30The main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
22:32A second sim...
22:34A similar sized bedroom.
22:35And a shower room.
22:36Here you come.
22:37Here you come.
22:39Nice size.
22:40This is a lovely size.
22:41This is bigger than the last one.
22:42I think it is because you've got to...
22:44a proper sort of dining space to this, haven't you?
22:47Mmm.
22:48I would be inclined to just...
22:49flip that over and have the dining up there.
22:52Have your sofas enjoying that view.
22:54Yeah.
22:55Out.
22:56Especially the winter.
22:57So you're feeling pretty good about this?
22:58Yes.
22:59Yes.
22:59Right.
23:00We are going to see the little bit of work that Martin is doing in here.
23:02And that is in the kitchen.
23:04Okay.
23:05Okay.
23:06Got your archway?
23:07Yes.
23:08There you...
23:09There you go.
23:10This kitchen is 23 years old.
23:12Right.
23:13This was the height of fashion.
23:14Back then.
23:15Is it still the height of fashion for you now?
23:16No.
23:17No.
23:18So this is...
23:19This is coming out.
23:20That would be a restart.
23:21It would come out.
23:22Okay.
23:23I think if we're going to get a building to do that, I'd probably...
23:24cut some of this away as well, so it opens it out to the room.
23:27That would be nice, actually.
23:29And, you know, because you can be working away in here, still enjoying that CV.
23:32Yes.
23:33And still having the communication with...
23:34Yeah.
23:34People in the room and still having that social interaction.
23:36Perfect.
23:37Yeah.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Yeah.
23:40That's perfect.
23:39Oh, this is lovely, isn't it?
23:43That's the...
23:44That's the best view we've had so far.
23:45Yeah.
23:46Of any of them.
23:47Yeah.
23:48What about Alfie?
23:49Yeah, this is safe.
23:49Safe enough for him, isn't it?
23:50It is.
23:51I can picture him laying down in the corner over there.
23:53In the shade.
23:54Having a little sleep.
23:55You're probably itching to go back in there and have a good look around.
23:57Do that.
23:58Check out the front terrace and I'll see you in a bit.
23:59Okay.
24:01Bye.
24:02Bye.
24:03Bye.
24:04Probably better size than the last one.
24:06And the view to the sea.
24:08And the view down to the sea.
24:09I see.
24:10Wow.
24:11Yes.
24:12I like the en suite as well as you just come in.
24:13Isn't that just fantastic?
24:14Yeah, absolutely.
24:14Real privacy.
24:15That's a bit of a plus.
24:16Yeah.
24:19It's a nice area, isn't it?
24:20Yeah.
24:21It's a nice little area to sit outside.
24:22Yeah.
24:23I like this.
24:24We could sort of maybe.
24:24fence it off a little bit if we wanted to.
24:26To make this a bit more private here.
24:27And for the dog as well.
24:28Yeah.
24:29Yeah.
24:29Should we go back and see Ben?
24:30Come on then, let's go.
24:31Okay.
24:32Well, after previously ruling out...
24:3420 properties.
24:35Happily, this two bed apartment, which is on the market for just under $160.
24:39and a half thousand pounds, seems to have gone down a storm with Roisin and Rob.
24:44Oh, lovely, lovely sunshine.
24:46I've been lapping it up while you've been busy.
24:49In there.
24:50We have.
24:51What we really liked about is the size of the front room.
24:52Both the bedrooms are really good double sizes.
24:54They're good.
24:54What I suppose we didn't like was the kitchen does need a rip out and we would have to do
24:59a bit more work on it.
25:00Everything else is good.
25:01It's on really.
25:02Yeah.
25:03It's workable.
25:04Yeah.
25:05So all in all, property 23.
25:06It's a good one.
25:07Yes.
25:08It's a cracker.
25:09Probably better than the last one because the location here is absolutely spot on.
25:14If you had to call it now.
25:15Couldn't.
25:16You couldn't call it at this stage.
25:18Okay.
25:19Too much to think about.
25:20No.
25:21They've both got so many good points.
25:22Yeah.
25:23So it is time for me to...
25:24key up our next property.
25:25That might be a clue.
25:26Uh-huh.
25:27Come on.
25:29Well, I'm feeling pretty chipper right now.
25:31With two strong contenders in the back and we're heading back to...
25:34Marina Della Torre home to the first of them for my next property.
25:38Though this time...
25:39We're on a golf complex.
25:40And knowing that Rob is a big fan of the game, I thought we'd have a...
25:44quick knock around on the greens before we pay it a visit.
25:47I am now well out of my...
25:49But I know you're in yours.
25:51Aren't you?
25:52How are you feeling rushing to be on the golf?
25:54Nice, actually.
25:55It's not what I would normally do.
25:57View's beautiful.
25:58Stunning view, isn't it?
25:59It's lovely.
26:00Yeah.
26:01I would come just for the walk.
26:02Exactly.
26:03So if you want...
26:04To have a full round here, 18 holes, it's 43 pounds.
26:08Right.
26:09I'm just going to play nine.
26:10It's 25.
26:11How does that sound price wise?
26:13Yeah, that's good.
26:14It's about...
26:14About the same as it is in the UK.
26:15But here you've got the weather, you've got the better courses and you've got the buggy.
26:18Question is...
26:19Are we up for a little bit of putting whilst we're here?
26:23Go on.
26:24Go on then, Ben.
26:25Great.
26:26Great.
26:27Get it.
26:28Oh, mate.
26:29So close.
26:29Not bad.
26:30Not bad.
26:31Not bad.
26:32Not bad.
26:33Not bad.
26:34Honestly, wasn't it?
26:35No, look.
26:36I've got...
26:37No, look.
26:38I've got...
26:39A little surprise for you both.
26:40The next property is right down there.
26:44A little white development down there, overlooking this very course.
26:47Wow.
26:48Yes.
26:49Let's jump in the buggies and get and see it.
26:51Okay.
26:52Even though we're just a couple of minutes walking...
26:54From the beach and putting distance from the greens, of course.
26:57This development is about a 15...
26:59minute stroll from the heart of town, which is good news when it comes to price.
27:04We've found Rasheen and Rob an apartment for a smidge below budget.
27:07It even gives them a biddy bonus extra...
27:09Right now, those buggies are all parked up and tucked up in bed.
27:14We are at the 18th hole and also our fourth property, which overlooks it.
27:19It's that one up there on the first floor.
27:21Very clean looking, isn't it?
27:22Those two properties that are...
27:24Our contenders do need a little bit of effort...
27:26Yes.
27:27Yes.
27:28...to get them up to scratch.
27:29Right.
27:30This one here, and this is the main reason for showing you it...
27:34is fully finished.
27:35Okay.
27:36In fact, this is a three bedroom, two bar...
27:39apartment.
27:40Where you can just take it easy.
27:43I know.
27:44I'm doing it again, aren't I?
27:45Yeah.
27:46Yeah.
27:47Price-wise, it's just under 110.
27:49£15,000.
27:50Okay.
27:51Would you like to go and have a look?
27:52I'd love to have a look inside.
27:53I'll let you do this on your own.
27:54And I'll catch you when you're done.
27:55Lovely.
27:56Thanks, Ben.
27:57All right.
27:58Thanks, Ben.
27:59Well, look.
28:00Not entirely smitten, but certainly taken by some of the...
28:04positives of this property, but will it be on par with our two...
28:09contenders.
28:10This first floor apartment has a pretty balcony overlooking the golf...
28:14cross and access to a communal pool.
28:18Inside, there's a...
28:19semi-open plan living, dining and kitchen space.
28:23The main bedroom with an...
28:24en suite shower room.
28:25Two more bedrooms for friends and family to stay in.
28:29And another bathroom.
28:30Oh, this is nice and proper.
28:31This is good, isn't it?
28:32This is nice and proper.
28:33This is good, isn't it?
28:34Yeah.
28:35Nice size.
28:36Nice and fresh.
28:37She's better finished.
28:38It is.
28:39There's not a lot of work needs to do in decorating.
28:41Kitchens, not that.
28:42It's okay.
28:43Yeah.
28:44It's...
28:44small but serviceable, isn't it?
28:45Good work.
28:46Shall we go and have a look through the arch?
28:48Yeah, let's go.
28:49Okay.
28:50I think it's a bit smaller than the other ones.
28:53Yeah.
28:54And the wardrobes.
28:56They're okay.
28:57They're not as nice as the other ones.
28:58They're not as smart.
28:59No.
29:00The view is nothing like as good as the last one.
29:03No.
29:04You know, it's not bad.
29:05It's okay.
29:06It's okay.
29:10Oh, it's a nice view though, Rob, isn't it?
29:11That's a lovely view, isn't it?
29:12It is.
29:13It really is a smashing view.
29:14Sunset at night.
29:15This, again...
29:16I think it's a little bit small.
29:17It's too small, isn't it?
29:18Yeah, for us.
29:19You can get four people around this.
29:20No.
29:21Maybe even six sometimes.
29:22Okay, shall we go and talk to Ben?
29:23Let's go and talk to...
29:24Okay.
29:25This apartment, which is on the market for just under...
29:29110,000 pounds, offers loads of what Rasheen and Rob are looking for in a great...
29:34location between the beach and a golf course.
29:36So, I'm hoping for a good reaction now they've had...
29:39a good look around.
29:40Right.
29:41Okay.
29:42My God.
29:44The golf apartment.
29:45How was it?
29:46There's some good points and there's some not so good...
29:49points.
29:50Okay.
29:51So, what we liked was it didn't need anything doing.
29:53Just move straight in.
29:54Probably rent straight away immediately without anything doing at all.
29:57The not so good are the size...
29:59the size of the kitchen is too small for any...
30:01to spend any time here.
30:02Uh-huh.
30:03Two of the bedrooms...
30:04the second main bedroom didn't have a cupboard or a...
30:08or anywhere to store any...
30:09anything.
30:10The balcony wasn't big enough to have four people around.
30:12Are you spoiltest, Ben?
30:13That's a shopping list!
30:14That's the problem!
30:15On all the other ones you've spoilt us.
30:17Yeah.
30:18It had to happen.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Okay.
30:22Well, look, we've got one left to go and see.
30:23It's at the southern end.
30:24of Mahaka Beach.
30:25Quite close, I believe, to your friends.
30:27Maybe.
30:28Don't worry, they're not selling.
30:29Should we go and see it?
30:30Yeah.
30:31Come on.
30:34Coming up.
30:35I reckon I can smash it out of the park with my final property.
30:38This spacious apartment...
30:39in the town of Mahaka.
30:41Curb appeal is...
30:42It's high, is it?
30:43Yeah, it's really...
30:44So far, Ben, you...
30:47You do...
30:49And I'm done it again.
30:54Today I'm house hunting with Roshina and Rob in an
30:59around the seaside village of Geruch on Spain's Costa Almeria.
31:04I'm in search of the perfect holiday home that works not only for them but for the entire family.
31:09Which I'm pleased to say we found not once but twice.
31:14The question is will my fifth and final property be more than they ever could have imagined?
31:19And remember my house hunters who have a maximum budget of 120,000 pounds.
31:24Have viewed and ruled out no less than 20 properties in the past couple of years.
31:29So I'm as chuffed as chuffed can be that they're keen on two of the four I've shown them so far.
31:34This apartment with two terraces and this one with a great garden but I reckon I'd
31:39turn this duo of contenders into a trio with my fifth and final place.
31:44This apartment which is in tip-top condition and ready to move into.
31:48But before...
31:49Before we go there I've come to the southern end of Mahaka to take a look at this funky and
31:54quirky four bedroom six bathroom villa overlooking one of Costa Almeria's
31:59best beaches priced at a touch under £950,000 I'm meeting
32:04agent Carol for the tour.
32:06Carol, lovely to see you.
32:08Hi Ben, great to meet you.
32:09Obviously one of the more original style villas built in Mahaka.
32:13Built in 1980.
32:14In 1981 by the present owner and what they wanted was to have a Moorish villa.
32:19built around a pool as an amazing sea views and that's what they have.
32:23Let's go and see it.
32:24Are we?
32:25Yep.
32:29Goodness me, look at this place.
32:30It's amazing.
32:31Instantly coming in this room.
32:33You...
32:34You can tell it's a home that's been loved for many, many years.
32:37But it's very eclectic.
32:38Especially when...
32:39When you look at the ceiling and the beams and this hand painted design across.
32:43It is spent a...
32:44A lot of money on this house over the years.
32:46Yeah.
32:47This part only has the main bedroom.
32:49En suite.
32:50This big lounge with the fireplace.
32:53Nice...
32:54The kitchen behind us.
32:55If you don't mind me saying so, it's a bit of a diamond in the rough isn't it?
32:59It could be...
33:00Absolutely.
33:01Absolutely phenomenal.
33:02It could be a rock star's house.
33:03It could...
33:04It could be a rock star, Carol.
33:05Shall we go and see more?
33:06Let's go and see more.
33:09And then we come out to the pool.
33:13Oh my gosh!
33:14Carol.
33:15Wow!
33:16I've not seen anything like it to be honest.
33:17No, it's absolutely beautiful.
33:18Obviously it's got...
33:19Moroccan feel.
33:20It's got a bit of a Riyadh vibe as well, hasn't it?
33:23With this enclosed...
33:24courtyard.
33:25But stepping out here and listening to that water...
33:28It's lovely.
33:29But the best views are out the front.
33:31Let's go.
33:32We'd better check those out, haven't we?
33:33Let's go and look at those.
33:34Alright.
33:35Alright.
33:39We're looking at the best of Mahaka here, aren't we?
33:41Absolutely.
33:42And the best beach in Mahaka as well.
33:43Is it?
33:44This is the South Beach.
33:45Yeah.
33:46It's a perfect position, isn't it?
33:47Perfect position.
33:48You've got this...
33:49This lovely temperature controlled gazebo here as well.
33:52Oh really?
33:53Yep.
33:54You sit under that.
33:54Take your dinner and you can control the temperature during the day.
33:57There is a danger that if I sat...
33:59Down over there, I would never move.
34:01I wouldn't even be bothered to go down to the beach, bro.
34:03You've got it all here.
34:04You've got it all here.
34:05Look, thank you so much for showing me around this house.
34:07No problem at all.
34:09It has been fantastic.
34:12Let's go.
34:13Okay.
34:14Bye.
34:15Bye.
34:17Bye.
34:19Bye.
34:20Bye.
34:24Bye.
34:25Bye.
34:29Bye.
34:30Bye.
34:31Bye.
34:32Bye.
34:33Bye.
34:34Bye.
34:35Bye.
34:36Bye.
34:37Bye.
34:38Bye.
34:39Bye.
34:39Bye.
34:40Bye.
34:41Bye.
34:42Bye.
34:43Bye.
34:44Bye.
34:44Bye.
34:45Bye.
34:46Bye.
34:48Bye.
34:49Bye.
34:49Bye.
34:50Bye.
34:51Bye.
34:52Bye.
34:54Bye.
34:54Bye.
34:56Bye.
34:57Bye.
34:58Bye.
34:59Bye.
34:59Bye.
35:00Bye.
35:01Bye.
35:02Bye.
35:03Bye.
35:04We've been out here a lot of the time in the colder months, but we do walk on the
35:09beach with the dog.
35:09And if I'm honest, I prefer to sit at the sea and on the beach than around the pool.
35:14So yes, I like the beach.
35:16Which is good news because we're going to go on a 10-minute trip.
35:19Let's go see it.
35:20Okay.
35:21Let's go see it.
35:22Okay.
35:23Mahaka is a very...
35:24popular place to buy property with a large British expat community.
35:29Prices and demand for properties here have both increased in the past year.
35:33So my final place...
35:34Despite a very recent drop in price, it does come close to the top end of Roisin.
35:39Rob's maximum budget.
35:40So, 10-minute stroll from the...
35:44River Beach is our next complex.
35:46Let's talk about this place because this garden is beautiful.
35:49Isn't it?
35:50It is.
35:51This is the best.
35:52This is absolutely...
35:53The best garden so far.
35:54By miles.
35:55You've got this huge pool, the biggest one we've seen so far.
35:58It's got under...
35:59Going maintenance.
36:00It's not looking at its best.
36:01Okay.
36:02Well, let's go and have a look at this.
36:04In the apartment.
36:05Come with me.
36:08This particular pathway...
36:09That brings us round to the property because it is...
36:12Just up there...
36:13Right?
36:14On the...
36:14On the third floor.
36:15So, curb appeal is...
36:16It is...
36:17It's high, is it?
36:18Yeah, it's really...
36:19Excellent.
36:19So far, Ben.
36:20You're doing it.
36:21So far, Ben.
36:22You're...
36:23You're doing it.
36:24Again.
36:25Yeah.
36:26So, look, it's a two bed, one bathroom property.
36:28This was just...
36:29Over 120,000 pounds.
36:31This week, however, it's priced at just under...
36:34116 and a half thousand pounds.
36:36Okay.
36:37Can't wait to get inside.
36:38It's time to go inside.
36:39Good.
36:40Come with me.
36:41As well as access to the communal pool and gardens...
36:44This apartment has a balcony looking into the hills.
36:47Plus a parking space and...
36:49And a storage area.
36:50The apartment has a light and airy living and dining room.
36:54A kitchen with a hatch through to the living area.
36:57The main bedroom which opens...
36:59On to the balcony.
37:00A similar sized second bedroom.
37:02And a bathroom.
37:04In we come.
37:05Now you've got your bathroom on the left.
37:08Guest bedroom.
37:09The bedroom on your right.
37:10The kitchen on your left again.
37:11And then into...
37:12What can only be described...
37:13The kitchen on your left again.
37:14And then into...
37:15What can only be described...
37:14As a very finished...
37:15Living room.
37:16Nice.
37:17This is really nice.
37:18Nice and bright isn't it?
37:19The walls are immaculate.
37:20Don't need painting.
37:21Right.
37:22Looks like it's been pretty fresh.
37:24Actually done.
37:25Actually.
37:26If you ask me.
37:27Interior wise.
37:28This is the best.
37:29So far.
37:30Behind you were coming.
37:31Yeah.
37:29It comes furnished as well.
37:30I should say that.
37:31Okay.
37:32And that's good.
37:33Is it working for you?
37:34Yeah.
37:34It is.
37:35It is.
37:36Lovely.
37:37Let's go and have a look at the bedroom.
37:38This will be your one.
37:39I have...
37:39No doubt.
37:40Due to the fact that.
37:41It has what I like to call now.
37:42An en suite.
37:43Balcony.
37:44Wow.
37:45Isn't it?
37:46Yeah.
37:47This is really impressing.
37:48Huge French doors.
37:49Which is lovely for lights.
37:50Yeah.
37:51And acres.
37:52Acres of storage.
37:53Can I see more?
37:54Strapes.
37:55Yeah.
37:56Yeah.
37:57Lovely.
37:58Now.
37:59One might argue.
38:00This is as good a space as any we've seen.
38:04It's...
38:04It's lovely.
38:05It's just different isn't it?
38:06We like the sea view but the sea is around the corner.
38:09And this is beautiful as well.
38:10That is stunning isn't it?
38:11Look at it.
38:12It's absolutely stunning.
38:13Wonderful.
38:14Yeah.
38:14And you've got to think actually at night with all the lights on in those houses out there.
38:18Yeah.
38:19And look at this.
38:20This is lovely as well.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Big space isn't it?
38:23It's really nice.
38:24And you're not overlooked.
38:24Super private.
38:25Yeah.
38:26Oh Ben what have you done to us?
38:27I don't know.
38:28What have I done to you?
38:29Dilemmas.
38:30Wow.
38:31Oh I do like a dilemma.
38:33Mmm.
38:34Well you go and see the rest of it.
38:35Okay.
38:36And I'll catch you when you're done.
38:37Thank you Ben.
38:38Go and enjoy.
38:39Oh there you go.
38:40How rude.
38:41Oh there you go.
38:43How rude.
38:44They're really liking this one aren't they?
38:46I guess they're sport for choice at this point in time.
38:49Which one?
38:49Which way they will go.
38:50Nobody knows.
38:54This is nice and bright well.
38:55Oh this is spot on isn't it?
38:56Perfect.
38:57Yeah.
38:58Enough cupboards and things.
38:59Couldn't change a thing.
39:00No.
39:01It all works doesn't it?
39:02Yeah it does.
39:03Yeah.
39:04Really nice.
39:04I think this third floor apartment which is on the market for just under £116,500.
39:09has exceeded Rob and Rasheen's expectations.
39:12Surely it delivers on everything.
39:14They've asked me for.
39:15So how was it?
39:16Did it rock your world?
39:17Uh Ben.
39:18Yeah.
39:19Yeah it did.
39:20Did it actually?
39:21It really did.
39:22This is.
39:23You pulled it out of the bag.
39:24This is def.
39:24Definitely taken out property number two.
39:26It's gone.
39:27Yeah.
39:28How's this comparing to.
39:29the Vera property?
39:30The view from Vera and the view from here.
39:34are absolutely superb.
39:35Will you be calling the girls?
39:36Getting them involved?
39:37Will you be calling the girls?
39:38Getting them involved?
39:39Yeah.
39:40We will do.
39:41We will do.
39:42You do that.
39:43Take the evening.
39:44Put your feet up.
39:45Have a class.
39:44Like that.
39:45Yeah.
39:46So shall we meet up tomorrow?
39:47And you can tell me what your final decision is.
39:49Yeah.
39:50Okay.
39:51It's not going to be easy is it?
39:52No.
39:53Come on.
39:54If you'd like more information on any of the properties.
39:59featured on today's show.
40:00You know what to do.
40:01Go to a place in the sun.com forward slash programs.
40:04I was expecting a bit of a tricky house hunt because before they met up with me.
40:09Roshin and Rob who have a budget of £110,000 with an additional £10,000.
40:14Wiggle room had looked at and rejected 20 properties here on Costa El Marino.
40:19So I'm delighted that after viewing just five on this search, we've ended up with two
40:24of them as contenders.
40:25This apartment with a garden and this third floor apartment.
40:29They've got a tough decision to make and now that they've had the evening to think things
40:33through, I'm chatting.
40:34We're cramping at the bit to find out what the decision is going to be.
40:38Guys.
40:39Good morning.
40:39How are you?
40:40Really good Ben.
40:41Really good Ben.
40:42Yeah.
40:43What were your discussions like last night then after?
40:44I left you because you had two in the run and it was the final property and the seat.
40:49So we went back to both the areas where the houses are and.
40:54It really then cemented our decision that property five was apt.
40:59Absolutely miles ahead of everything else.
41:01It blew everything else out of the water.
41:03It is a beautiful apartment.
41:04Nothing needed doing and it was really good finish.
41:07The gardens.
41:08I mean.
41:09The holiday feel.
41:10It was beautiful.
41:11I think it's better than we imagined we could get.
41:13Have you checked in?
41:14Have you checked in with the girls?
41:15We have.
41:16We did.
41:17We had a chat last night and they're really excited now.
41:19They're there.
41:20Yeah.
41:21We're just about to realize our dream and they are.
41:22They're really pleased for us.
41:23Well, you've kind of.
41:24let the cat out the back there a little bit, haven't you?
41:26You're about to realize your dream.
41:29What do you guys want to do?
41:30So.
41:31We're going to make an offer.
41:32We've decided to make an offer.
41:33It's on the market.
41:34For just under 116 and a half thousand pounds.
41:37In terms of.
41:39opening offer.
41:40What have you been thinking?
41:41So we would like to make an initial offer.
41:44of a hundred and six thousand pounds.
41:46Okay.
41:47We're cash buyers.
41:48We can move really quickly.
41:49We want to make some changes to the bathroom.
41:53We want to.
41:54replace.
41:55Some of the outdoor furniture.
41:56Because it's a little bit tired.
41:58And.
41:59And then.
42:00And match up.
42:01One of the cities.
42:02Because it doesn't quite match the other one.
42:03So.
42:04Are you happy for.
42:04For me.
42:05To put in that initial offer.
42:06Of a hundred and six thousand pounds.
42:07Yeah.

42:19Rob and Rasheem and we have been chatting about the property that we showed them down in
42:24South Mahaka and they are very keen they would like to make an offer
42:29and that offer is based on the fact that they would like to upgrade some of the furnishings in there
42:34and there's just a little bit of finishing to do in the bathroom.
42:37They're cash buyers and the offer
42:39That they would like to make is a hundred and six thousand pounds

42:57Okay, right
42:58For them. How f***
42:59How far are you willing to take it?
43:01If I'm honest, it's worth the money
43:03Okay

43:05We do really want it
43:06Do not let it slip through your fingers
43:08It is already a

43:10I know we're not quite over the line yet
43:12But how does it feel?
