00:00When it comes to finding that dream life in the sun...
00:02Isn't it stunning?
00:03..the Spanish costas are the place to be.
00:06My job is to sell the dream.
00:07So it's no surprise thousands of Brits make the move every year.
00:11Spain's a wonderful place to live.
00:13The sunshine just makes you feel happy.
00:15And the people making it all happen...
00:17Wow. Oh, we got a wow!
00:19..are the expat estate agents...
00:21This is it. This is the dream.
00:23..who already call Spain home.
00:25Oh, I can absolutely see myself here.
00:27In Alicante, it's the Rodriguez family.
00:30Cheers, girls. Well done.
00:33Over in Almeria, the Garners.
00:35Yeah! It's huge. I think you've got a party there.
00:38Up the coast in Mercia, the Browns.
00:41Action!
00:44Stylish.
00:45On the Costa Blanca North, the Aldertons.
00:48It's my new tie. What is that?
00:50And in sunny Malaga, the Hamiltons.
00:53The things I do for selling houses.
00:56They're not just selling the Spanish dream.
00:58We bought a house.
00:59We bought a house.
01:00In Spain.
01:01In Spain.
01:02They're living it to the full.
01:04Stop dreaming.
01:05Stop hacking.
01:06Life is waiting for you here in Spain.
01:09Today, in Alicante,
01:11the Rodriguez sisters aim for top marks.
01:13I was to tell them, what would you give this property?
01:15Nine and a half.
01:16It's going to be hard to beat.
01:17It is.
01:18The Hamiltons' wow in Malaga.
01:21Oh, what are you doing to us?
01:23Oh, my word.
01:24And Sophie and Charlotte lock horns.
01:27No!
01:28She doesn't know how to behave.
01:30Shut up, will you?
01:31Order!
01:32Order!
01:35Over 20 years ago, Linda and Manuel Rodriguez set up shop in Alicante.
01:42Let's go, darling.
01:43Let's go, darling.
01:43Come on.
01:45Selling the Spanish dream.
01:47So this is one of the properties that gives me the wow factor.
01:50With daughters Sophie and Charlotte at their side,
01:53the family have been together through good times and bad.
01:57It's been a really tough year for us all.
01:58We lost my dad a few months ago.
02:00Even though things have changed and my dad is no longer with us,
02:03it's great to know that we're still working under his name.
02:06Buenos dias.
02:07Now, alongside Sophie's husband, Damon...
02:10We might have peaked too soon, Sylvie.
02:12We might have peaked too soon.
02:12We might have peaked too soon.
02:12The family carry on Manuel's legacy.
02:15My mum and dad have built up a fantastic business,
02:17turning people's dreams into a reality.
02:20Cross those fingers, cross those lights.
02:22I don't know what the day's going to bring.
02:23Oh, I don't know what the light is.
02:26But very proud as well to be able to carry on.
02:29Definitely a good day in the office today.
02:35This morning, the sisters are preparing to hit the road.
02:39Are we going in your car today?
02:42We are.
02:42Yeah, what's wrong with your car?
02:44My husband has a real look and after my car life ensures
02:46I've got no petrol and no water in my windscreen wipers.
02:49Well, the second one's a lie,
02:50because when it inflated your tyres last week,
02:52I topped up the windscreen wipers,
02:53so unless you've had it on every day, you've got water.
02:56Can't you put petrol in your own car?
02:57Yeah, I can, but if he's going to clean it,
02:59he might as well do that as well.
03:03Look at this, what a beautiful...
03:05Looking for Sophie and Charlotte's help
03:07to find their dream property in Spain
03:09are their next clients, married couple Mo and Katie.
03:14Currently living in Nottinghamshire,
03:16Mo is originally from Valencia
03:17and looking forward to once again having a base in the country.
03:21I've got family in Morocco, I've got family in San Sebastián.
03:25We decided to change a little bit of that work and weather and everything
03:28and come to Spain to look for something
03:30where we can have a nice time and enjoy this lovely weather.
03:35Having been together for over a decade in the UK,
03:39spending more time in Spain's sunny climate
03:41is also a huge draw for Katie.
03:43The eyesight condition I have is retinosa pigmentosa
03:46and it's tunnel vision.
03:48Because of my eyesight, the English weather
03:50in the winter is not so great for me.
03:53It's a whole lot easier
03:54and the sun is high in the sky, as they say.
03:58As the couple aim to improve their lifestyle,
04:01hoping one day to make a permanent move to Spain,
04:04location is going to be key.
04:06Oh, on a nice day, I'd like to be able to go out walking,
04:09do dance lessons, maybe Spanish lessons.
04:12Dance in flamenco, all day.
04:16Private dancer.
04:18Oi, excuse me.
04:18Sorry.
04:20Do your mind.
04:21Oh, la, la.
04:24Ready to get Katie and Mo's search off on the right foot?
04:28Good morning.
04:28Good morning.
04:29Hello.
04:30Come take a seat.
04:32Our sisters Sophie and Charlotte.
04:34So, what is it that we're looking for?
04:36Ideally a two bed, two bath.
04:39But one will suffice.
04:42OK.
04:42Obviously because of my sight loss,
04:45I need somewhere that's accessible to parks.
04:50I like walking, et cetera.
04:52On what type of budget are we going to work with today?
04:54We're working between 100, maximum to 120 euros.
04:59OK.
05:00120,000 euros today.
05:02Yeah, maximum.
05:03Well, I think we've got three good properties to show you today.
05:06So, shall we make a move?
05:07Yeah.
05:07That's fine.
05:08That's fine.
05:10The sisters are all set for the selection of properties
05:13they hope can impress Katie and Mo.
05:17Where are you going?
05:18That one.
05:19Oh, that's fine.
05:21I'm the driver, Sophie.
05:24Everyone's on time.
05:25She got lost.
05:27And despite Sophie's doubts,
05:29Charlotte has successfully navigated them to property one
05:32in the traditional Spanish village of Formentera del Segura.
05:37Well, welcome to property number one.
05:39Oh.
05:39Hello.
05:40Oh, yeah.
05:40It's quite a bit complex.
05:42You've got communal pools, you've got solariums.
05:44And we are going to go and see a ground floor apartment here.
05:48Can't wait.
05:49Shall we get inside then?
05:50Yep.
05:51Let's go.
05:51Let's go.
05:53Property one is a ground floor apartment with a gated complex.
05:58Across one level, the apartment offers easy access for Katie with a bright, spacious lounge,
06:04separate kitchen, two bedrooms, the main with en suite, and an additional bathroom.
06:10Outside, there are easily accessible solariums and recreational spaces for the couple to enjoy.
06:17And at €119,000, it sits just under their maximum budget.
06:23So, come on through to the living area.
06:25Oh.
06:26Wow.
06:28Oh, that's nice.
06:29Yeah?
06:30Yeah.
06:31It's nice and bright, isn't it?
06:33Yes.
06:33Because you're on the corner.
06:35Yes.
06:35You've got the extra windows and you've got the really large double windows at the end there.
06:39Oh, yes.
06:40And in terms of the living space itself, what are you thinking about the size and the condition of it?
06:47I think it's nice size.
06:48It's really nice.
06:49Yeah.
06:50OK, well, so a good start then.
06:52Yeah, it's a very good start.
06:53Yeah.
06:53Very positive.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Shall we carry on?
06:55Yes.
06:56OK, I'll see you.
06:59So, come on through in here.
07:01This is the main bedroom.
07:04Oh, wow.
07:04Oh, wow.
07:05Oh, we like that.
07:06We like that.
07:07Wow.
07:08Nice.
07:09That's a word we like to hear.
07:10Yeah.
07:11So, again, a really bright and spacious room.
07:14Yes.
07:14And a nice view out there to the park.
07:17Yeah.
07:18The lights and bright for you.
07:20Yeah.
07:20The eyes, you know.
07:21Yeah, the nice one.
07:24Really good start to the property tour.
07:26Really, really good.
07:26Really positive.
07:27You know, we were getting wows inside.
07:30And just, they really like the property and I think it works well for them.
07:34Oh, wow.
07:35Wow.
07:35Gosh.
07:36Easy.
07:37You can have two singles.
07:39Two singles, easy.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Plus, you have plenty of space.
07:41Mm-hm.
07:42Just passing everything.
07:43Not far from the pool.
07:45Not far from the entrance.
07:46And I think Mel will be happy to leave her here on her own as well.
07:49A great start.
07:51Mm-hm.
07:51Wow.
07:52Where's Katie?
07:53Oh, he's in the swimming pool.
07:55Katie, dinner is done.
07:57Come on.
07:58Come on.
08:01Welcome to the solarium.
08:03Oh.
08:04Oh, this is nice.
08:05It is.
08:05Lovely views from up here.
08:07Ooh.
08:08It's nice.
08:09Really good one.
08:10Yeah.
08:10Yeah.
08:11I don't know what else you've got in the bag, but this is a, yeah, this is a good one.
08:16Yeah, happy with it.
08:17Very good.
08:17Yeah.
08:17Oh, yeah.
08:17So, there's still one thing you need to know, and that's the price.
08:20Oh, yes.
08:21So, property number one is on the market for 119,000 euros.
08:25And it's perfect.
08:26I think it's perfect property for us.
08:29So, out of ten, what would you give this property?
08:31Nine and a half.
08:32Oh, wow.
08:33Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Well, a really good start, then, to the property search.
08:37It's going to be hard to beat.
08:38It is.
08:38But we're going to try our best.
08:40We'll try our best.
08:40Yeah.
08:40I know you will do that.
08:42Shall we get to property number two?
08:44Yeah.
08:44Yeah.
08:44Not right.
08:44Let's go.
08:45Come on.
08:47Property one is a big hit with Katie and Mo.
08:50But with two more properties still to see, Sophie and Charlotte might still be able to go one better.
08:59Coming up, plans are afoot in Malaga.
09:02If you took the wall out, it would lighten up that room.
09:06I think it would be spectacular, actually.
09:08But excitement's in short supply for the Rodriguez sisters.
09:12Oh, we've lost those wows.
09:14We've fallen flat.
09:22In Malaga, Andrew and Sharni Hamilton have spent the past two decades helping buyers discover their own slice of Spanish
09:30life.
09:30Ready to see some houses?
09:32Looking forward to it.
09:33Look at this.
09:33It's glorious.
09:34You have the weather, sunlight, beautiful sea.
09:37Look at this view.
09:38Oh, wow.
09:39Every day we're selling the dream.
09:41Congratulations.
09:43Oh, wow.
09:46With their daughters Tara, Natasha and Talia by their side, life's never been better.
09:51No two days are the same.
09:52I've got high expectations.
09:54Oh, no pressure there.
09:55Every client is different and I love that.
09:58I like it.
09:59Music to my ears.
10:00Even if their passion for work sometimes rocks the boat.
10:03Andrew said...
10:04I love my job even more than Sharni.
10:08I might have got carried away.
10:10He is still paying for that comment.
10:12I love Sharni much more than my job.
10:19Today, Andrew and Sharni are readying themselves for their next clients.
10:23At least that's what Andrew thinks.
10:25Sharni, I see you're practising a little bit.
10:29Yes, you weren't supposed to come down yet.
10:31Ah.
10:33Don't you think we should practise later and maybe prepare now?
10:37I'm prepared.
10:38I'm just clearing my mind.
10:40OK.
10:40I'm going to go and check the notes and I'll catch you on the table.
10:44Hoping Sharni and Andrew could queue up their dream house in Spain,
10:48our married couple, Tim and Sharon, from Devon.
10:51Cannonball hole, that is.
10:52Yeah.
10:53With a holiday home already in coastal La Ducasa,
10:56the couple are now chasing a permanent move to Spain.
11:00We're looking to take the next step
11:02and have a property that we're going to live in.
11:04More or less the same area where we are
11:05because we just love it, love the area where we are at the moment.
11:09Now retired, the couple are already immersing themselves
11:13in the Spanish way of life.
11:14I started learning Spanish.
11:16Tienes un meso para dos personas, por favor.
11:21The accent's not great because as soon as you speak Spanish
11:24to someone that's Spanish, they answer me in English.
11:27So I was like, oh.
11:29And while the accent might need some polish,
11:31it hasn't taken the shine off their love of Spain.
11:34Spain is a beautiful country.
11:35There's so much to see.
11:37And it's great for socialising with friends as well.
11:40You know, it's so easy to say, oh, come round for a barbecue
11:42because you know the weather's going to be good most of the time
11:45so you don't have to worry about it raining.
11:47So, yeah.
11:48Cheers.
11:49It's very exciting.
11:50It's a new chapter for us.
11:53Yeah.
11:55Plenty of barbecues as well.
11:56Yeah.
11:57On hand to serve up a selection of properties...
12:01Welcome, welcome.
12:02How are you doing?
12:04Come on in, come on in.
12:05Are Andrew and Sharni Hamilton.
12:07Come in.
12:08Come in.
12:09Have a seat.
12:09Yeah, take a seat.
12:12So what would be your ideal property?
12:15Three to four bedrooms, two baths.
12:17Two plus bathrooms.
12:18With some garden space, ideally.
12:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:22We've got four children between us, five grandchildren.
12:26Wow.
12:27They're all coming to visit then?
12:28Well, we're hoping.
12:30We're going to draw them out here with a nice house.
12:32And in terms of talking money?
12:34It's going to be 800,000.
12:37800.
12:37800, OK.
12:38OK, I think we've chosen three very different properties.
12:42Yeah, wonderful.
12:43Yeah, let's make a move.
12:44Come on, follow us.
12:45The Hamiltons have three potential properties lined up for Tim and Sharon.
12:49It's exciting.
12:50Yeah, very exciting.
12:52And for their first offering,
12:53are staying within the La Duquesa area they are already familiar with.
12:59Come through, guys.
13:01Come and take a look.
13:03Oh, wow.
13:04It's bigger than I thought it would be from outside.
13:09Property One is a semi-detached house.
13:12On the ground floor is an open-plan living and dining area,
13:15off which there is a separate good-sized kitchen.
13:18From the living space, patio doors lead to a large pool and terrace
13:22with stunning countryside views.
13:25Just the spot for Tim's barbecuing.
13:27The property has three spacious bedrooms
13:30and four bathrooms to easily accommodate
13:33Tim and Sharon's visiting family and friends.
13:36On offer for just under €550,000,
13:40Property One sits comfortably within the couple's maximum budget.
13:44Welcome to Property One.
13:48Oh, wow.
13:50Nice big lounge.
13:52Yes.
13:53So within this property,
13:54I think there's scope to knock a few walls down
13:57to make it even more open-plan.
13:59Okay.
14:00So follow me.
14:00I want to show you the kitchen.
14:02And I want to show you the wall that I want to take out.
14:04Yeah, Andrew.
14:06Come on through.
14:12Oh, wow.
14:13Okay, yeah.
14:13So it's quite a big kitchen.
14:15Nice kitchen.
14:16Yeah, nice-sized kitchen.
14:17I can see what you're saying about the wall.
14:19If you took the wall out,
14:21it would lighten up that room as well.
14:24I would just knock that wall section out.
14:25You could make a really nice all-in-one...
14:27Yeah.
14:28Yeah.
14:28I think it would be spectacular, actually,
14:30because you can imagine all that light coming through.
14:32Light through.
14:32Yeah.
14:33So, so far so good?
14:34Yeah.
14:34Yeah.
14:36I'm not feeling enthusiasm.
14:38I'm feeling like, okay, this is what we want.
14:41There's lots of space.
14:43It's like a TARDIS, actually, from the outside, isn't it?
14:45Yeah.
14:45It's bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
14:49I can't feel that excitement.
14:52Well, it needs some work,
14:53especially if you're going to knock down a wall
14:55and potentially change the kitchen.
14:57This one, it's a little bit of a rough diamond,
15:00and they do need to do a little bit of work
15:02before it's perfect for their needs.
15:05So, what did you think?
15:07Interesting.
15:08Oh, got lots of potential.
15:09Is it interesting good or interesting bad?
15:12Yeah, no, it's interesting good.
15:12It's got lots of potential.
15:14Yeah.
15:15Depending on price and budget.
15:17Okay, well, Andrew.
15:18Do you want to have a guess at what the price is for this one?
15:22$550,000.
15:24You are on the money.
15:26This is actually on the market at 549,000 euros.
15:32There you go.
15:32Wow, that's impressive.
15:34That's impressive.
15:35What are you doing when you move over?
15:36Do you want to be an estate agent?
15:39So, I think at that money,
15:41you've got money left over to make this something wow.
15:45Yes.
15:45You could, yeah.
15:47Yeah.
15:48With a price tag that allows for their preferred improvements,
15:52Property One might be in the running.
15:54But for their next offering,
15:55the Hamiltons are aiming to show something more turnkey ready.
16:07In Alicante,
16:08sisters Sophie and Charlotte Rodriguez
16:10are helping couple Katie and Moe to find a holiday home
16:13that will eventually fulfil a dream to move to Spain.
16:17The outlook was good at Property One.
16:20Where is Katie?
16:21Oh, he's in swimming pool.
16:22Katie, dinner is done.
16:25Come on.
16:26And left Sophie and Charlotte with a challenge on their hands.
16:30It's going to be hard to beat.
16:31It is.
16:32But we're going to try our best.
16:33We'll try your best.
16:34I know you will do that.
16:35Hoping to go one better,
16:37the sisters have brought Katie and Moe
16:39to an area popular with British expats.
16:42Welcome to property number two.
16:44Oh.
16:45We've brought you to the village of Algorfa this time.
16:48Oh, all right.
16:48Oh.
16:49And we're taking you to another apartment,
16:51but on the second floor.
16:52It's nice.
16:53Mm-hmm.
16:54And I think the views is beautiful.
16:56The views are fantastic.
16:58Property two is a second floor apartment with lift access.
17:02Inside, there is an open plan living dining room and kitchen,
17:07two bright and airy bedrooms,
17:09the main with an en suite,
17:11and an additional bathroom.
17:12There is also a good-sized dining balcony
17:15that makes the most of those mountain views.
17:18On offer for 110,000 euros,
17:21property two sits 10 grand under the couple's top budget.
17:25So, come on in.
17:27We've got a different layout here at property number two,
17:31so we're going to come straight into the main bedroom.
17:35Oh, all right.
17:36OK.
17:37Oh.
17:38Oh.
17:39That's nice.
17:40Yeah, it's fine.
17:42Good.
17:43But still, my mind is thinking in the first one.
17:46We left you back there.
17:48Let's be honest.
17:49OK.
17:49No, that's fair enough.
17:51That's fair enough.
17:51I think it's workable still.
17:53Yeah.
17:54Workable and a wow.
17:56There was a wow in property number one.
17:58Yeah, wow was the first one.
17:59And here we're getting workable.
18:00Yeah, workable.
18:01Sorry.
18:02OK.
18:03That's not the same as a wow.
18:05I think it's because we've come into the bedroom first.
18:07Maybe.
18:08Yeah, I think maybe.
18:09I mean, we've brought you into the bedroom first
18:10because it kind of leads in.
18:12Yeah.
18:12But a normal route would be into the living room.
18:15So, we'll take you there,
18:16and maybe we'll get wows there.
18:18OK.
18:18Yes.
18:18OK, nice.
18:19Follow us.
18:22Not exactly off to a flyer in the bedroom.
18:26OK, we've got a different layout.
18:28Oh.
18:29Yeah, it's more open plan.
18:30Oh, wow.
18:32How do you feel about it being open plan like this?
18:35It's not that bad,
18:37but my head is in the other side of the...
18:40Yes.
18:41We've left you a property one.
18:43I can't do the property one.
18:44I'm just going to blow my mind with air.
18:47That's fine.
18:48I mean, this property ticks all the boxes you've asked for,
18:51but it just doesn't seem to be pulling on your heart.
18:54No.
18:56Oh, we've lost those wows.
18:58We've fallen flat.
19:00Oh.
19:03What a nice.
19:04Now, they're not wowed at all at this property,
19:06and, you know, we thought they'd like it.
19:08Well, yeah.
19:09I mean, it's fine for...
19:11It'll be fine for visitors.
19:12The layout of the properties as well,
19:14it doesn't flow for them.
19:16They're more comfortable in the first property.
19:21Welcome to the solarium.
19:22Oh.
19:23How are you guys?
19:24That's nice.
19:24Now, how did you get on with the rest of the property?
19:27I think, to be honest, it's not for us.
19:30OK.
19:30That's fair enough.
19:31Yeah.
19:31We're looking for something that is...
19:33Home.
19:34Home.
19:34And I think that first one...
19:36Ticked those boxes.
19:37Did it?
19:37Yeah.
19:38OK.
19:39Yes.
19:39That's all really good feedback for us,
19:41and it all makes perfect sense what you're saying,
19:44so, you know, that's great.
19:45But there's still one more property to see,
19:47so should we go and check it out?
19:48Oh, yes.
19:49Oh, yes.
19:49Let's go.
19:50Let's go for it.
19:50With Property 2 ruled out,
19:53Sophie and Charlotte have just one chance left
19:55to improve upon the homely vibe Katie and Mo felt
19:59at Property 1.
20:06In Malaga, Andrew Hamilton is meeting the latest employee
20:09to join the business,
20:11but this time it's a very familiar face,
20:14daughter Tara.
20:16First day in the office.
20:18How do you feel?
20:19Yeah, I'm feeling good.
20:21What have you got in store for me?
20:23Tara's been away from home for approximately seven years.
20:27She went off to uni in the UK.
20:30And then she's been working in London.
20:32So now she's decided to go travelling,
20:35and before she goes travelling,
20:37I've got her here for two months.
20:38My dad has actually seen this as his big chance
20:41to convince me to join the family business.
20:43Obviously, you cannot have any preferential treatment
20:47over the rest of the staff.
20:49I don't want it.
20:50You're an employee, not my daughter.
20:54I'm going to try and train her up
20:55and see if I can get her to enjoy the business.
20:58And you never know,
20:59when she comes back from her travels,
21:01maybe, fingers crossed,
21:03she'll come back and work with us.
21:04I'm really excited.
21:05I'm very apprehensive
21:06because obviously I've never done it before,
21:08and I think they just expect me
21:09to be able to jump straight in.
21:11But I will need training.
21:13Come on.
21:14And training is just what Andrew has in mind.
21:17With a villa nearby,
21:18it's the perfect place for Tara to practise a property tour.
21:24Property one for new girl Tara is a sprawling detached villa.
21:28I like this entrance.
21:29It's a grand entrance.
21:31I'm looking for a grand house.
21:32I think this is going to be the perfect one for you.
21:35Come on.
21:36Let's get on in.
21:38With five bedrooms,
21:41four bathrooms,
21:43open plan living spaces,
21:44and even its own infinity pool,
21:47talk about being thrown in at the deep end.
21:50Welcome.
21:51Nice room.
21:52This property is a five-bedroom property.
21:55Perfect.
21:55You've got it spread over two floors,
21:57so upstairs you've got three bedrooms,
22:00and then downstairs you've got two double bedrooms
22:02with a lovely bathroom to share.
22:05Tara did really well.
22:06I think she's a natural.
22:08So this is the kitchen.
22:10As you can see, it's open plan.
22:13It's pretty spacious.
22:14Great space.
22:15It leads on to the dining room,
22:17which then leads on to the terrace.
22:18I'm excited that she's going to be able
22:20to sell a few good properties for us.
22:23Look at this view.
22:24Isn't it magical?
22:26It's pretty amazing.
22:27And the infinity pool, what do you think?
22:29I love it.
22:30I think you'd be very happy here.
22:32Tara, I have to say,
22:33I think you pulled this one out of the bag.
22:35Great.
22:36Where do I sign?
22:37Wow.
22:38Let's do that right now.
22:39Let's go in.
22:40Come on.
22:41I think I sold him the house.
22:42I think he's going to buy it.
22:45And I had a lot of fun doing it,
22:46so, yeah, I think it's made me a bit more excited
22:49about working for my parents.
22:51And, I mean, with these stunning villas,
22:53who wouldn't love doing this job?
22:59Coming up,
23:00Sophie and Charlotte struggle to find a spark.
23:03That's fun.
23:04It's manageable, yeah?
23:05Oh, there comes this man of all still again.
23:07And the Hamiltons hit the sweet spot.
23:10I can see that you can see yourself here.
23:13Yeah.
23:14I'm staying, all right?
23:15You just carry on.
23:23In Malaga, husband and wife duo Andrew and Sharni Hamilton
23:27are helping married couple Tim and Sharon
23:29to make a permanent move to Spain
23:31with a budget of €800,000.
23:34Property One needed a little home improvement.
23:36I think there's scope to knock a few walls down
23:39to make it even more open plan.
23:41Yeah, OK.
23:42But Tim and Sharon were open to the challenge.
23:45It's got lots of potential.
23:47Yeah.
23:47Depending on price.
23:49It is, yeah.
23:49OK.
23:51For their second showing,
23:52the Hamiltons have brought the couple
23:53less than ten minutes' drive from La Dukessa
23:56to the residential area of Manilva.
23:59Oh, wow.
24:00Wow.
24:03Oh, that's so nice.
24:04Wow.
24:04Property Two is a fully refurbished house
24:08within a gated community.
24:10Split across three levels on the ground floor,
24:12there is a large open lounge, kitchen and diner.
24:16Off the living area,
24:18there is an outdoor seating and dining terrace
24:20offering stunning countryside views.
24:23There are a total of four spacious bedrooms
24:26and three modern bathrooms.
24:28Outside, the property also benefits
24:31from a small private swimming pool
24:33and rooftop terrace,
24:34complete with hot tub.
24:36On offer for €695,000,
24:40Property Two sits within the couple's maximum budget.
24:43Yeah.
24:44Welcome.
24:45Come on in.
24:45Come on in.
24:46Oh, wow.
24:51Wow.
24:53What a nice space, yeah.
24:55Lovely.
24:56So the house has become
24:59sleepily renovated.
25:01Yeah.
25:02It's lovely.
25:03Lovely in the views.
25:04Nice light area.
25:05Look at the views.
25:05Perfect views.
25:06Really nice.
25:07And there's no walls to knock down.
25:09Nothing to do, is there?
25:10Shall we have a look outside?
25:11OK.
25:12Yes, please.
25:13Follow me.
25:20Wow.
25:21Lovely.
25:22And you wanted a good view.
25:24Look at that.
25:25Sea view.
25:26Wow.
25:27You have sea and mountains.
25:29You've got everything.
25:30I just stay here.
25:31I've got concerns.
25:32Come on then, Sam.
25:33What are they?
25:34Right, what are they?
25:35As we get older, the stairs.
25:37OK.
25:38On the different levels.
25:39I'll get you a chair left.
25:40LAUGHTER
25:43Tim, you're overruled.
25:45Sorted.
25:47But the good thing is,
25:48I can see that you can see yourself here.
25:50Yeah.
25:51I'm staying.
25:52All right.
25:53You just carry on.
25:54But we've got bedrooms to show you.
25:56OK.
25:57Yeah.
25:57Come on.
25:58Come inside.
25:59Let's go.
26:00Thumbs up for the ground floor.
26:02Lead the way, Tim.
26:04Wow.
26:05Time for Tim to tackle those stairs.
26:11Oh, very nicely done.
26:15Lovely view.
26:16Wow.
26:17Yes.
26:18Lovely view in a good size.
26:20Yeah.
26:20Yeah, perfect.
26:20It's lovely.
26:21Yeah.
26:22Yeah.
26:22It's a lovely size.
26:23So there's more to see.
26:24I think we'll let you guys go and explore.
26:27And we'll see you in a bit.
26:28OK.
26:28Great.
26:29Thank you very much.
26:29Look forward to it.
26:31Oh.
26:34Nice.
26:35Have a walk-in shower.
26:36Oh, a wet room, really, isn't it?
26:37Yeah.
26:38That's nice.
26:39Very nicely done.
26:40Property two, I think, has won over Sharon.
26:44She loves it.
26:46She can feel it.
26:47I can see that immediately.
26:48I saw that as soon as she walked in.
26:51Oh.
26:53Just look.
26:54You could sit in there and look at the sea.
26:57Tim is a bit more practical.
27:00The only concern is that we're not detached.
27:03No.
27:03We could be overlooked.
27:05If Sharon makes the decision, then I think this is a big contender.
27:12Hi, guys.
27:13Hi.
27:13Really excited to see what you guys think of the house.
27:17It's lovely.
27:18It really is nice.
27:19It's been done beautifully.
27:21It has, hasn't it?
27:22And the views.
27:23Nice character to it.
27:25Modern, but character.
27:26The actual price of this property is 695,000 euros.
27:31Yes, another property for that.
27:32That's good.
27:33Yeah.
27:34So, for property three, we need to find you a detached property and maybe a few less stairs.
27:39Would that be right?
27:41Yep.
27:41I think this is going to be hard to beat.
27:43It is.
27:44Yeah, it is.
27:44It is.
27:45I agree.
27:46Yeah.
27:47It's a strong showing for property two, but with a split-level layout, will it be a step
27:52too far for Tim and Sharon to consider?
28:05In Alicante, Damon is hard at work.
28:08The forget deals and deadlines today is all about one of his signature morale-boosting
28:13team-building exercises, an office quiz.
28:18Hiya.
28:18All right, so are you OK?
28:19How are you doing?
28:20Yeah, doing well.
28:21I'm just having problems with question number six.
28:23Oh, no, why?
28:23It's not too easy.
28:24No, you've got to put a few easy ones in there to help us out.
28:28The level of intellect amongst the staff is very high.
28:31Can't be an easy quiz.
28:34Everyone's really excited.
28:35My mum's heard about it.
28:36She wants to join in as well.
28:37She loves a quiz, Linda.
28:38She does.
28:39Let's get quiz in.
28:41So the theme of today's quiz is going to be company-based.
28:43I'm hoping that, you know, the staff that we have employed know everything about Casa
28:47Manuel, but never say never.
28:50And Damon's luxurious location for this special day of team bonding is the office.
28:56The rumours are true.
28:57So today we're going to do our very first Casa Manuel quiz.
29:01Oh.
29:02With mum Linda on hand to ensure office harmony, competing teams are headed up by captains
29:07Sophie and Charlotte.
29:08Sophie, Linda and Tim, you are virtually going to be known as...
29:13Charlotte, Mandy and Dave, are you going to be known as...
29:17Tres Amigos.
29:18Nice.
29:19That's the quiz underway.
29:21What could possibly go wrong?
29:24Round one, question one.
29:25Out of all the team members, whose middle name is Mark?
29:30Tres Amigos.
29:31It's mine, but this is my option to...
29:35David, Mark, Flynn.
29:36One point.
29:37I need to monitor the situation.
29:39Hang on, can I just test mine?
29:40Because that would be malfunctioned, didn't it, Tim?
29:42It did, it did.
29:44Really?
29:44Half point each.
29:45No!
29:46She doesn't know how to behave.
29:47Shut up.
29:48Down, down.
29:49Order.
29:50Order.
29:50So in the most part, our family quizzes go down a stone.
29:53But I will say, there's been some incidents and a lot of tension.
29:56The quiz master is talking, please.
29:58Do you want me on the quiz master?
29:59It's supposed to be light-hearted.
30:00It's supposed to be having fun.
30:01Next question, please.
30:03Time for the quiz master to assert his authority.
30:06Let's get a bit manic in here, I reckon.
30:07We're getting rid of the buzzers.
30:08There's a few technical issues.
30:10Hand in the air.
30:11I'll see whose hand went in the air first.
30:13And I'll instruct you to give the answer.
30:14Clear?
30:15Yeah, that's a two.
30:15Clear.
30:16OK.
30:17In Benioffle, we've got two lovely cleaners.
30:19What's out there, Nick?
30:20First names.
30:21Linda.
30:23I can't do it.
30:25Nice try, Linda.
30:26Charlotte.
30:27Encarno and Rosario.
30:29Correct answer.
30:29One point.
30:30I think the quiz went down a storm.
30:32We had all sorts.
30:32We had scratching of heads.
30:34We had laughs, fits of laughter.
30:37And as I suspected, there was a bit of haji-barji between the sisters.
30:40I'm not going to point you.
30:42I'm too slow.
30:43I'm not too slow.
30:44But, you know, we had a good laugh.
30:46And while there's smiles all round and Sophie and Charlotte are still on speaking terms,
30:50it's time for Damon to wrap things up and reveal which team is victorious.
30:55I'd like to congratulate the three of the goal.
30:57Yay!
31:02I think with the successes today, and I think, you know, the team will speak for me, that,
31:05you know, it was a great quiz.
31:06I think this is going to be a yearly thing.
31:08Don't worry, Sophie.
31:09I'll give you a glass of kava.
31:13All for one.
31:15And all for all.
31:16See you next week.
31:22Team building done.
31:23Sophie and Charlotte are back on the road with clients Katie and Moe as they search for their
31:27perfect property in Spain with a budget of 120,000 euros.
31:32At Property One, first impressions were good.
31:35Oh, wow.
31:36Oh, wow.
31:37Oh, we like that.
31:38We like that.
31:39Wow.
31:39Nice.
31:40But not so much at Property Two.
31:43I think it's workable still.
31:45Yeah.
31:45There was a wow in Property Number One.
31:46Yeah, wow was the first one.
31:48And here we get unworkable.
31:50Yeah, workable.
31:51Hoping to end on a high, for their final offering, Sophie and Charlotte have brought the couple
31:56closer to the coast and the residential area of Villa Martin.
32:00Well, welcome to Property Number Three.
32:02Oh, I'm here.
32:04Final property of the day.
32:05And we've brought you to a ground floor apartment, but a different style.
32:08OK.
32:09OK.
32:10Cut all the trees, a few flowers there, you know.
32:13Yeah.
32:13That'll be nice.
32:15Property Three is an apartment within a gated community.
32:18Inside, the layout is similar to front-runner Property One, with a lounge, dining room and
32:24semi-open-plan kitchen.
32:25There are two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
32:28But unlike Property One, the apartment comes with a large dining terrace, as well as access
32:33to a communal swimming pool.
32:36But at €125,000, Property Three sits €5,000 over the couple's top budget.
32:44So, inside of Property Number Three.
32:48Oh.
32:49Size-wise?
32:50Yeah, size-wise is OK.
32:51Yeah.
32:52It's manageable, isn't it?
32:52It's fine.
32:53It's manageable, yeah.
32:54Yeah.
32:54Exactly.
32:54Oh, there comes this manageable still again.
32:56I'm just trying to focus and see what there is.
32:59In the previous Property Mo, we couldn't get you out of Property Number One.
33:03Your head was still...
33:04Yeah, sealed there.
33:04Yeah.
33:05How are you in this Property?
33:06We kind of work, I think, yeah.
33:08This has got more potential?
33:09Yes.
33:10Yeah.
33:10OK.
33:14So, this is the larger bedroom.
33:16Oh, wow.
33:17OK.
33:19That's nice.
33:20Yeah, it's a good size.
33:21It's a good size, isn't it?
33:22I can tell that this property's given you something to think about.
33:25Yeah.
33:25So, why don't you go and check the rest of it out, and then we'll meet up with you and
33:29see what you think after seeing it.
33:31OK.
33:31Lovely.
33:32OK.
33:32Enjoy.
33:33I think we've got Mo one foot out of Property Number One and one foot over here.
33:38You can see his mind is thinking.
33:41Yeah.
33:41But my gut is still saying that he loves Property Number One.
33:45I like the front garden things.
33:47It's nice to give you that glass of wine and with neighbours or something.
33:52It would be nice.
33:54Property Number One, they just loved it so much and they were so confident.
33:58Here, I feel they like it, but maybe they don't love it just yet.
34:01Oh, it's like the size.
34:04You've got lights coming.
34:06They'll be interested to see what they feel once they've seen it all.
34:11Hello.
34:11Hiya.
34:12Hiya.
34:13Welcome to the pool area.
34:15Oh, nice.
34:16It's beautiful, isn't it?
34:17Yeah.
34:17Yes.
34:18How are you both feeling now that you've had time to look at the whole property by yourselves?
34:22It's nice.
34:23But we're still...
34:24Still Number One, I think.
34:26Still Number One.
34:27Yeah.
34:27We're not changing it.
34:28You're not changing it.
34:30Number One's your favourite, isn't it?
34:32Right, well, I think we've had a long day, haven't we?
34:34We've seen three very different properties.
34:36So, shall we head back to the office and we can have a little chat?
34:38Yeah.
34:39That sounds like a plan.
34:39Go on, then.
34:40Let's go.
34:40Let's go.
34:42With property three out of the running, Katie and Mo will now take some time to consider
34:47their options before returning to meet Sophie and Charlotte.
34:52Coming up, the Hamiltons go all out.
34:55What are you doing to us?
34:57Wow.
34:58And it's decision time with Sophie and Charlotte.
35:02After seeing the three properties today, what would you like to do moving forward?
35:13In Malaga, the Hamiltons are on the hunt for a permanent place in the sun for married couple
35:18Tim and Sharon from Devon.
35:20With a budget of 800,000 euros, property one left room for improvements.
35:25It needs some work, especially if you're going to knock down a wall and potentially change
35:29the kitchen.
35:31And property two left the couple out of step.
35:33I've got concerns as we get older, the stairs.
35:37Okay.
35:38On the different levels.
35:39I'll get you a chair left.
35:43For their third and final property, the Hamiltons have brought the couple a short drive, staying
35:48in the area of Manilva.
35:50Wow.
35:51This looks interesting.
35:53Wow.
35:53Wow.
35:54Welcome to property three.
35:57Yes, this looks nice.
35:59Very nice.
35:59Property three is a fully detached villa set on a generous hillside plot.
36:05Inside, there is a large open-plan living and kitchen area, perfect for entertaining the
36:11whole family.
36:12There are four bedrooms, two with en suite, and an additional family bathroom.
36:18Outside, the villa truly shines, with a private swimming pool, as well as an outdoor bar and
36:24summer kitchen.
36:25On offer at a budget-busting 935,000 euros, the Hamiltons think a deal could be done if
36:33they love it enough to stretch their budget.
36:36Welcome.
36:36Welcome.
36:39Oh, what are you doing to us?
36:43Oh, my word.
36:43Wow.
36:46Oh, wow.
36:48Tim, this is the first time I see you smiling.
36:53Is it a happy smile or a worried smile?
36:56Wow.
36:57It's a good smile till he hears the price, I expect.
36:59Just enjoy the journey, is what I suggest.
37:02Yeah.
37:02It looks wonderful.
37:04Kitchen's lovely.
37:05It's really...
37:06It's what our vision is.
37:08Yeah.
37:08Coming over here.
37:09Yeah.
37:11It's a strong start, with top marks for the living space so far.
37:17Oh, wow.
37:18Wow.
37:19It's another wow.
37:21Lots of wows today.
37:23Lovely.
37:24Great-sized bedroom, isn't it?
37:25Yeah.
37:25It's wonderful.
37:26It is.
37:26It looks like it's got lovely outside space.
37:29Lovely views.
37:31Tim doesn't need a stair lift.
37:33So, it's like...
37:34It's a win-win.
37:35Do you need to prove?
37:37Yeah.
37:37Yeah.
37:39Property number three, I think, is definitely hitting the right spot.
37:45I love the previous property, but in terms of day-to-day living, I think this is more manageable.
37:52More practical, yeah.
37:53Yeah.
37:53Yeah.
37:53I just think it will cost a lot more.
37:56I think the budget may be, obviously, a little bit above where they were hoping to spend, but this is
38:03their forever home.
38:04Yeah.
38:04I might have to go back to the bank.
38:06What, and Robert?
38:07Yeah.
38:09Hi, guys.
38:10Hi, guys.
38:12Have you had a good look around?
38:14We have.
38:14We have?
38:15Yeah.
38:15And what can you say, really?
38:19What can you say, really?
38:19Tell us, tell us.
38:20It's got everything you would want.
38:21It's got everything we want, really.
38:23Yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:24I know I said, leave me at the last property, but I'm glad you didn't.
38:27Good.
38:27We dragged you out.
38:29It does come with a slightly over-budget price tag.
38:34I like the word slightly.
38:35It's on the market at 935.
38:38Oh, wow.
38:39Okay.
38:39That's less than I thought.
38:40Yeah.
38:41And there's a little bit of wiggle room.
38:43Okay.
38:43Okay.
38:44So, with that in mind, why don't you guys go and have a coffee?
38:47Yeah.
38:48And maybe we meet later for a chat?
38:50Yeah.
38:51Property three has blown both budget and expectations, leaving Tim and Sharon lots to consider.
38:59Property one required renovation.
39:01If you took the wall out, it would lighten up that room.
39:05While property two...
39:07Lovely.
39:08...was just short of perfect.
39:10So, for property three, we need to find you a detached property.
39:14Maybe a few less stairs.
39:16Yep.
39:17And after pushing the budget of property three...
39:19What are you doing to us?
39:21Oh, my word.
39:22Wow.
39:23Tim and Sharon are back.
39:25Hi, guys.
39:26Hello.
39:27With a tough decision to make.
39:30So, first of all, property one, what are your thoughts now after spending the day looking around?
39:36It's a lot of work to do, and then do we want to do all that work?
39:40Okay.
39:41Okay.
39:41It was more apparent when we saw the other properties.
39:43Yeah.
39:44Yeah.
39:45So, we improved as we went to property two.
39:48The only thing was just quite a few stairs.
39:50And then property three.
39:52Well, that's your dream.
39:54If we had a property that needed doing up, that's what we'd do to it.
39:58So, this was at the top end of the budget and a bit more.
40:02Yeah.
40:03But it means you just walk into it.
40:04Yeah.
40:05It can be a forever home, basically.
40:07Yeah.
40:07Yeah.
40:07It's lovely.
40:09So, I was going to ask you, are you going to make an offer?
40:12We don't want to spend everything we've got on a property.
40:16That wasn't our plan, but, yeah.
40:18Possibility.
40:19Yeah.
40:19Okay.
40:21I think they have seen the property they love, and I think they're on their road there.
40:28Yeah.
40:28I think they're nearly there.
40:30Cheers.
40:31Cheers.
40:31And thank you so much.
40:32It's been so great getting to know you guys.
40:35If we can get the money together, I think we'd seriously consider up then making an offer.
40:40Yeah.
40:40And I think they can do it.
40:42So...
40:43Yeah, so do I.
40:44What's this space?
40:52In Alicante, Sophie and Charlotte Rodriguez have been helping married couple Katie and Moe
40:57to find an eventual home in Spain with a top budget of 120,000 euros.
41:03Property one, a ground floor apartment, almost got top marks.
41:07I was to tell them, what would you give this property?
41:09Nine and a half.
41:10Oh, wow.
41:10Yeah.
41:12While property two just didn't measure up.
41:15Sealed my mind this thinking in the first one.
41:18We left you back there.
41:19Let's be honest.
41:20And property three also couldn't shift the dial.
41:24Still number one, I think.
41:25Still number one.
41:26We're not changing it.
41:27You're not changing it?
41:29Number one's your favourite, isn't it?
41:31Yeah.
41:31Having taken some time to reflect...
41:34Hello.
41:35Hi, guys.
41:36The couple are back with their final thoughts from the day.
41:40What a day we've had, eh?
41:41Oh, yeah.
41:42Oh, yeah.
41:43It's a long day.
41:44So, after seeing the three properties today, what would you like to do moving forward?
41:48I think we're going to make an offer.
41:50Oh, yeah.
41:51Very good.
41:52For the property number one.
41:54OK.
41:54So, property number one is on the marker for 119,000 euros.
41:58What's the offer going to be?
41:59We think it's going to be 95,950.
42:04OK.
42:05Now, that is a cheeky offer, Mel.
42:07You're going to make us work here, aren't you?
42:11All we can do is ask a question.
42:13Yeah.
42:14OK.
42:16At just under 96,000 euros, the couple are offering over 23,000 euros under the asking price.
42:23Hi, Lloyd.
42:24It's Charlotte calling from Casas Manuel.
42:26I've just given you a call because we've viewed your property today in Formentera with some clients,
42:31and they'd like to put in a cash offer of 95,950.
42:38OK.
42:39Let me speak to the clients now and get back to you.
42:42All right.
42:44Bye.
42:44Bye.
42:47OK.
42:48So, we did warn you it was a cheeky offer.
42:51And they said it's far too low.
42:53All right.
42:53Their lowest is 110,000 euros.
42:57110,000.
42:58Yeah.
42:58The maximum what we can pay for the house is 105 cash by, yeah.
43:04I'll see what they say.
43:09Hi, Lloyd.
43:10It's me again.
43:12OK.
43:12I've spoken to the clients, and their final and top offer would be 105 cash.
43:19That's still 14,000 euros under asking.
43:23OK.
43:24All right, then.
43:25OK.
43:25I'll let them know.
43:26Bye.
43:29OK.
43:30They're not going to be able to make a decision tonight.
43:32They need to speak to their family, and they said they'll let us know tomorrow morning.
43:35OK.
43:36OK.
43:37The offer's in on the table.
43:38They're thinking about it, so at least it's not a no.
43:41And we'll hope, with everything crossed, that tomorrow we get a positive outcome.
43:45So, go and enjoy yourselves, and we'll be in touch tomorrow.
43:47Thank you very much.
43:49All right.
43:49Well, again, job you're done.
43:51It's been a pleasure.
43:52We've had a really good day.
43:53We're happy.
43:54See you.
43:54Good.
43:55OK.
43:55See you later.
43:57Bye, Jane.
43:59Bye.
43:59With their final offer now on the table, Katie and Mo have an agonising wait to see if it
44:04will be accepted.
44:09And the following morning...
44:11How are you both?
44:12Fine, thank you.
44:13..the couple are back to receive the news.
44:18Right, so they have spoken to their family.
44:21Mm-hm.
44:21And they're happy to accept your offer.
44:23Hey!
44:25Congratulations!
44:27Aw!
44:28That's good.
44:30Aw, so happy for you both!
44:31Yeah.
44:32Aw, bless you.
44:35You're going to need to cry.
44:36You're going to?
44:37It's fine.
44:38Yeah.
44:38What a great result, Ty.
44:40We were all on tender hugs when you were in, shall we?
44:42Yeah?
44:42I wasn't sure.
44:43I thought they were going to have to up it a little bit.
44:46I was pleasantly surprised.
44:47Yeah?
44:48Yeah?
44:48No, it was an amazing result for them.
44:50Yeah, it's just very emotional because it's actually happening now.
44:55And dreams, as I say, can come true.
