00:00When it comes to finding that dream life in the sun...
00:03Isn't it stunning?
00:04..the Spanish costas are the place to be.
00:06My job is to sell the dream.
00:08So 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! He's huge. He can have a party, isn't he?
00:38Up the coast in Mercia, the Browns.
00:42Action!
00:45Skylash.
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...
00:59We bought a house.
00:59We bought a house.
01:00In Spain.
01:01In Spain.
01:02..they're living it to the full.
01:04Stop dreaming, start packing.
01:06Life is waiting for you here in Spain.
01:10Today, in Almeria, Sharon and Sean lead with their strongest hand...
01:14Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:16You don't like it.
01:17No.
01:18Terrible poker face.
01:19Darren and Natalie lay their cards on the table in Mercia.
01:23Ooh.
01:23Oh, we've got the oohs and the smiles.
01:25Oh, my goodness, yeah.
01:28And the Garner's new approach to marketing turns into a fit of the giggles.
01:32We're talking about the flow.
01:33Woo!
01:39In Almeria, it's another busy day for mother and son dream team, Sharon and Sean.
01:44Morning.
01:46Morning, son.
01:47You all right?
01:48Not really.
01:49Stressed, maybe.
01:51Well, Sean to the rescue.
01:53There you go.
01:54Thank you, son.
01:56Well, let me put it this way.
01:57We have got no properties to show.
01:59I can't believe that all three properties sold yesterday.
02:03Do you know the worst thing about all this?
02:04What?
02:04I looked in the mirror this morning.
02:06I've got great hair.
02:07It's in my beard, Mum.
02:09Welcome to my world.
02:10Have you ever looked underneath my hair?
02:12This is too much stress.
02:14All right, let me work my magic.
02:17They'll have to conjure up something special to find a holiday home for artists Declan and
02:21Claudia, whose love story is straight out of a movie.
02:25Claudia was having coffee in Kilkenny and I sat down in front of her and I really loved
02:30what I saw.
02:31You know they talk about this feeling?
02:33That was just instant.
02:34The area is nice.
02:37I was thinking, who is this guy?
02:39He's very lovable.
02:41He's my soul partner.
02:43Yeah, we match.
02:46It's the perfect match.
02:48And they've been inseparable since that encounter in 2018, dividing their tie between Ireland
02:55and Germany.
02:56Painting, that's what I always wanted, to be an artist.
03:00And now I can live this dream.
03:04I never had time for art, but then I met Claudia and there's all the time in the world for
03:10art.
03:10Now it's time to find a sunny holiday home where they can follow their dreams and let
03:14the creativity flow.
03:17We're very excited about this.
03:18No more dull days.
03:20Yeah, yeah.
03:21Lots of sangria days, art days, sunshine days, happy days.
03:27Yeah, all kinds of days, you know.
03:28The best is yet to come.
03:31Yes.
03:31With the sunshine and sangria calling, Sharon and Sean have pulled together three fantastic
03:37properties just in time.
03:39Hello.
03:40How are you?
03:42Take a seat.
03:43How are you both?
03:45Good.
03:46Good.
03:46It's good to be here.
03:47You can hear the Irish accent.
03:49I never thought I had one.
03:51So if you could just remind us what you would like from this property.
03:56Two bedroom, close to public transport, a little bit of outdoor space, balcony.
04:02And of course an art room.
04:05Yeah, art room.
04:06Oh yeah, and a blank wall.
04:08Yeah.
04:08To put the art on.
04:09An art gallery.
04:11Okay.
04:12All right.
04:12Well, we'll make sure we do that.
04:14So really we need somewhere where you can do your painting and feel relaxed and comfortable.
04:20So the budget of 125,000 euros, how much could we push that, if at all?
04:27Maybe 150.
04:28150, yeah.
04:29If the place was absolutely...
04:31If it was perfect and you didn't have to spend any money on it or anything.
04:33Yeah, yeah.
04:34Right, okay.
04:34Oh, because we're into painting, Claudia painted this and we have a picture of the
04:40painting for you.
04:41Oh.
04:42It's very Spanish.
04:44Pheasant.
04:45Oh, bless you.
04:48It's even got the black hair.
04:50I'd love to wear one of those dresses.
04:52Well, this is our good luck charm.
04:54Yes.
04:54And I'm going to put it here next to home.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Yeah.
04:57And we'll find you.
04:59Your dream home.
05:00Let's go.
05:05First up, they want to live here forever.
05:09Sharon and Sean are taking them to the picturesque village of Mahaca Pueblo.
05:14This is sort of what we would call...
05:16An artist's heaven.
05:19Property number one.
05:20So, Mahaca Village, there is a bus station here and you have good public transport, five
05:26minutes from the beach.
05:27What's your first impression?
05:28Nice little house.
05:30It's an apartment, but it is a top floor.
05:32Yeah, there's a good feeling about the streets and the...
05:36Back in the 1950s, the local mayor actually gave free properties away to artists to make
05:43them come here.
05:43So, it is a very, very cultural area.
05:47Property one is a charming three-bedroom apartment.
05:50A spacious entrance hall leads to a bright dining room and private terrace.
05:55An ideal spot to sit, relax or even paint the view below.
05:59There are three bedrooms, a cosy single and two spacious doubles.
06:05One is currently used as a living area, but either could be transformed into the perfect
06:10art room.
06:11Further along, there's a modern bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen.
06:16Priced at 129,000 euros, it's well within their maximum spend.
06:23So, the one thing I want you to take into consideration, white walls.
06:26Look, pictures all the way along here.
06:30Loads of white walls.
06:32So, what's your first thoughts?
06:35Nice little place.
06:36Yeah, it's nice.
06:38The feeling is nice.
06:39It does feel a little bit smart, to be honest.
06:41Well, look, the idea with this property is you will have to knock a wall down, OK?
06:48If that wall came out, you could make this one large lounge.
06:53Do you want to have a look at the kitchen?
06:54Let's have a look at the kitchen.
06:56It's a little bit dated, but I would paint it in a light colour.
07:00I think so, yeah.
07:01Well, being artists, there's your first project.
07:04Put to a murian, you know.
07:06Yes.
07:09So, there's two bedrooms.
07:11My first initial impressions, I think we've got the area banged on.
07:15Yeah.
07:16I'm just not sure we've got the right property at the minute.
07:18I don't know about the cracks.
07:20Is it cosmetic or...
07:22But a nice view.
07:25Oh, look.
07:26Yeah.
07:26I did mention about knocking the wall down, but they were having none of that, were they?
07:30Occasion, good.
07:31But I'm a little bit afraid of too much work to be done.
07:36It needs to be something with less work.
07:38And, unfortunately, in Mahaka, the budget won't stretch to that.
07:42So, I think we'll have to show them a different area.
07:45You all right?
07:47We had a little chat.
07:48Yeah?
07:49For you.
07:50It was...
07:51Maybe too much work.
07:52Yeah.
07:52So, did you find the space too small, then, is that the rooms were too small for you?
07:58And no real outside space, which I think is really important.
08:03Is this property not for you, or is it still on the cards?
08:06I won't say no.
08:07I can't say no, because the area is so great.
08:10So, you do like Mahaka Pueblo?
08:11Yeah.
08:12Right, OK.
08:13Well, come on, let's leave you for today, and then we'll catch up tomorrow.
08:16It's not exactly a dream start for the Garners.
08:18Now they need to find a bigger property with outdoor space.
08:25Coming up, Sharon and Sean get creative.
08:29You be the artist.
08:29Well, can I be the artist then, darling?
08:30You be the artist.
08:32And in Mercia, the Browns take team-building to a whole new level.
08:36Well done.
08:47For over two decades, property powerhouses Natalie and Darren Brown have called magnificent Mercia their home.
08:55The Spanish lifestyle is exactly what you would think it is.
08:58Eating, drinking and sunshine.
09:00And with five kids between them...
09:02Shall we get ourselves onto the beat?
09:04Let's go.
09:04..they certainly live life to the very max.
09:07It's about family and lifestyle, and having fun.
09:09So, good roll!
09:12It's been a good day.
09:14When not living la vida loca, they and their team are selling the Spanish dream.
09:19It's on the market for £240,000.
09:23Finding our clients a perfect Spanish property is just the pinnacle of the job, because it's life-changing.
09:27Does that mean that you want to buy it?
09:29Yes.
09:30Well done, guys.
09:31It's just a big celebration. It means the next chapter's about to start for them.
09:35Congratulations.
09:36We have a good time. It's good bonding.
09:38Teamwork makes the dream work.
09:43It's another beautiful day in Mercia, and husband and wife team Natalie and Darren are planning for the week ahead.
09:50Hello.
09:51What are you up to?
09:52I'm just looking at hotels for our trip to New York this weekend.
09:56Fantastic.
09:57But we've got the rest of the week to finish first.
09:59Well, I'm obviously preoccupied here with New York, so I hope you've got everything planned.
10:03Absolutely.
10:04New York might be calling, but today it's new clients who come first.
10:10And the couple looking for a forever home are Siobhan and John, recently retired after 20 years in the U
10:16.S.
10:17We're very, very lucky. We're blessed.
10:19But their love story began much earlier, in their home country of Ireland.
10:24John and I met 49 years ago. We're 48 years married.
10:28And it's been an adventure and a journey, and I've enjoyed every minute of it, because we've travelled a lot.
10:34Hopefully she'll put up with me for a bit longer.
10:36Of course I will.
10:38And their secret to a happy marriage?
10:40Travel a lot.
10:41Yeah, yeah.
10:44Now it's all about spending time together, and they're ready to find a dream home in the Spanish sunshine.
10:50I retired in July of this year, and we've decided already we want to be in the sun.
10:56So we've come to the south of Spain and want to find our forever home in this area.
11:01We love it here. We really, really love it here.
11:04Plus it brings us nearer to both our kids.
11:08Very good.
11:09The top of the list for our granddaughter was a pool. It had to have a pool.
11:13I was going to say we don't need a pool, but she'll kill us.
11:16And here to help them find the perfect home to keep the whole family happy...
11:20Oh, here they are.
11:20...are Natalie and Darren.
11:23Nice to see you.
11:23You too, you too.
11:25Have a seat.
11:27We're super excited to get started with you.
11:30Tell us, because you're renting here at the moment, aren't you?
11:33Yes.
11:33So how has that happened?
11:35Well, I guess the reason for being in the area at all is my sister.
11:38She has a holiday home here.
11:41We like that.
11:42From that, we decided this is the area we want to find our forever home.
11:46So what is it that we're looking for?
11:49A three-bedroom.
11:50A nice, modern-sized kitchen.
11:53A bit of outdoor space.
11:55The location of the property is something we need to feel kind of secure and, you know,
12:00that there's a community around us that we can become part of.
12:03Mm-hmm.
12:04Okay.
12:04So a quiet area, a bit of peace and quiet, three-bedrooms, is that a must?
12:08Yes.
12:09Okay.
12:10Yes.
12:10Yeah, that's one definite, yes.
12:12That sounded pretty definite.
12:13I mean...
12:14That's a nana speaking.
12:15It is.
12:16Yes, exactly.
12:16We have five grandkids and we want them all to come and see us as quickly as possible.
12:21Okay.
12:21And what's the budget?
12:23What's the magic price?
12:24We're looking for something in the range of 250,000 euro.
12:28We've got some good properties to show you.
12:30Shall we head out and start looking?
12:32Let's do it.
12:32Let's do it.
12:35Natalie and Darren have selected three potential forever homes they hope will hit the mark.
12:41Not a high-rise hotel in sight.
12:44Long made up.
12:45Precioused.
12:46Yeah.
12:46First up, they are in the seaside resort of Marder Cristal.
12:51Welcome to Property One.
12:53So first thoughts, first reactions.
12:57Yeah.
12:57I love it.
12:58Interesting.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Property One is a beautifully positioned three-bedroom corner townhouse.
13:05The main living area has a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, opening onto a wraparound terrace with
13:11plenty of room to entertain or simply relax in.
13:14On the ground floor, there's also a kitchen and a generous bedroom, currently being used as an office.
13:21Upstairs, you'll find a bathroom and two bright bedrooms, one opening onto its own balcony, ideal for visiting family.
13:29There's even a large communal pool, which will be sure to impress the grandkids.
13:34On the market for 250,000 euros on the market for 250,000 euros, it's bang on their ideal budget.
14:08What do you think?
14:10Well, if you want to tell us whether it was good or bad, so to get this good reaction, I'm
14:13feeling quite relaxed.
14:15Yeah, yeah.
14:16If Siobhan doesn't like it, she'll tell us.
14:18On Siobhan's approval scale, Property One scores well so far.
14:23Oh, yeah, this is gorgeous, isn't it?
14:26We're getting lots of oh, wows, we're getting lots of smiles.
14:29Yeah, everything's perfect, isn't it?
14:31Yeah.
14:32I think we're off to a good start.
14:33I'm not sure about the tile in the winter, you know.
14:36I get the slippers.
14:37Look at the view.
14:38They're not bad.
14:40The location, I think, works for them.
14:41Hello, neighbour.
14:42It's quiet.
14:43It's not over busy in the summer.
14:46Yeah.
14:46I think as a place to live full time, it works.
14:50It's like something out of a magazine, isn't it?
14:52She seems happy, he seems happy.
14:54You happy?
14:56Reasonably.
14:57It's gorgeous.
15:00Our explorers are back.
15:01Yes, we are.
15:03So, can you see what's over there?
15:04Oh, my goodness gracious.
15:06Oh, I think our grandkids would like that.
15:08So, what do you think of the house?
15:11Yeah.
15:12Our first impression is, yeah, it does tick a lot of the boxes.
15:16It looks great.
15:17When you said a lot of the boxes, what's missing?
15:20The bedrooms upstairs, they're not either our en suite.
15:24It's not a, you know, it's just a comment, rather, until I digest it a bit more.
15:29Okay.
15:29The only bit of information you don't have right now is the price.
15:32Well, I was desperately hoping that you could give me some good news in that respect.
15:36The price can be negotiable, so bear that in mind when I tell you the price of
15:41€250,000.
15:42Okay.
15:44So, we're right on the number.
15:46Yeah.
15:46Right on the line.
15:47Yeah.
15:48Well, a good start.
15:49Yes.
15:49Good day one.
15:50Good start.
15:51Property one has clearly impressed Siobhan, so the Browns will have to go all out with
15:55their final two choices.
16:04In sunny Almeria, Sharon and Sean are on the hunt for a holiday home for artists Declan
16:10and Claudia.
16:11Lovely.
16:12Who have a maximum budget of €150,000.
16:16The first property left them underwhelmed.
16:19It does feel a little bit smart, to be honest.
16:21And it needed major work to reach its potential.
16:24You will have to knock a wall down.
16:27For property two, Sharon and Sean are taking them to the highly sought-after coastal community
16:31of sunny Palomares.
16:34Your bars and restaurants start from here.
16:36Yeah.
16:37To the here.
16:37Yeah.
16:38So, it's quite quaint, but it's got just a really nice feel to it.
16:45So, let's check out property number two.
16:47So, this is the communal swimming pool.
16:50Wow.
16:51Completely different to property number one.
16:53Wow.
16:54But what's your thoughts?
16:56If somebody was inviting us to stay, we'd be like, wow, they bought this.
17:03Property two is a beautifully presented apartment.
17:06Inside, you'll find bright, open-plan living, where the kitchen and lounge flow onto a generous
17:12terrace, showcasing breathtaking views.
17:15The main bedroom has an en-suite, and the second double leads onto the terrace.
17:21Perfect for setting up an art studio, inside or out.
17:24Set within a gated complex with a pool, it's only a two-minute walk to local hotspots, and
17:30has excellent transport links, too.
17:32On the market for 130,000 euros, the property sits 20,000 euros under the couple's maximum
17:39budget.
17:40Right, here we go.
17:41Into this light and bright, lovely space.
17:45I know, people say, wow.
17:47I'm serious.
17:48Wow.
17:49Obviously, your eyes are drawn straight to the sea.
17:53Oh, yeah.
17:54Oh, yeah.
17:56But.
17:57There's a but.
17:58But, there's even better.
17:59Peter, what do you think about your art studio?
18:03You'd be the artist.
18:04Well, can I be the artist, then?
18:04You'd be the artist, OK.
18:05So, this would be your art table.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Apparently, that's how an artist paints, with two hands.
18:12But you've got all this space, this wall space, obviously storage for your paints, etc.
18:18Yeah, yeah.
18:18So, would this bit work for you?
18:20Yeah.
18:20Yeah, I think it feels roomy, it feels airy, there's a breeze, there's, you know, somewhere
18:26lovely to sit.
18:27It's just, it's just perfect.
18:29Sean's questionable artist impression aside, the property is definitely making its mark.
18:35So, I think this is going to be, what do they say, the cherry on the cake?
18:40Oh, yeah.
18:41Yes.
18:42Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
18:45Absolutely, yes.
18:47Could bring an easel outside.
18:49It's an extension of the living room, you know?
18:52I don't like it.
18:53No, real negative.
18:55Terrible poker face, terrible.
18:59Oh, wow.
19:00Oh, wow.
19:01Wow.
19:02Wow.
19:03Lovely.
19:04Yeah, yeah, I like it.
19:06Yeah, you too.
19:07Yeah.
19:07We've got a completely different reaction.
19:10We've got wows, we've got, I can breathe, I can feel the air.
19:14Can you imagine ourselves doing it?
19:16I could.
19:16Yeah, I could, I could.
19:18The fact that I paint with two hands is slightly concerning, but that's going to suit exactly what they're looking
19:25for.
19:29What was it you were painting?
19:31You don't want to know.
19:34Fair like it.
19:35I love it, I love it.
19:40Look at the smiles.
19:42Yeah.
19:43Yeah, yeah, really smiling.
19:46Right, so what did you think about the rest of the property then?
19:49Yeah, the layout is lovely, the rooms are functional, definitely functional, they're definitely big enough.
19:55And what about your art studio?
19:57Do you think that area would be good for you to be able to paint as well as out here,
20:01obviously?
20:01Yeah, outside and inside as well.
20:04The current asking price of this property is €130,000.
20:10Yeah.
20:11Yeah, it's a bargain.
20:13But, property three, we're still going to throw something completely different in the mix again.
20:17Yeah, no pressure.
20:19I know, thanks.
20:20They may seem smitten with property two, but Sharon and Sean aren't done yet.
20:25They've got one last trick up their sleeves.
20:35In Mercia, Natalie and Darren have set up a team-building day to boost communication, lift morale and, most importantly,
20:42have some fun.
20:45So, this morning we've got the full team down to the beach and we're going to do the Macassimo Winter
20:50Games.
20:53So, today we have sales team versus support team.
20:59In white, representing sales, it's Darren's team.
21:04The sales team, obviously, will be more competitive and want to win more, so I think it'll be easy, this.
21:09And in black, always there when you need them, Natalie's support team.
21:14No, well, I think that you are underestimating.
21:17Some of the support team, they are strong and competitive.
21:22The prize, a trophy and endless bragging rights.
21:29Serious stuff.
21:30Let the games begin.
21:32Contestants, ready!
21:35First up, it's the classic egg and spoon race with a twist.
21:40It's a shame it's not an egg, but the golf ball is probably a little bit more on point, isn't
21:44it?
21:46And it's the sales team who score first.
21:49Well done.
21:50Well done, the white team.
21:52It was good, intense, but good.
21:53The white team won that first game, but we are going to come back.
21:56Next up, the hoop toss.
22:00No points.
22:02No points.
22:03This could take some time.
22:21It's 2-0 to the whites.
22:23Let's see what happens going into game three.
22:25It's nearly all over, Natalie.
22:28Game three is a property puzzle.
22:30We've got multilingual conferring going on.
22:33Come on!
22:35We've decided that neither team gets a point.
22:39Because the puzzle is incomplete.
22:41This does not represent well the brand.
22:43No.
22:44I wouldn't give a cut-up once I claim it, anyway.
22:47Darren's sales team lead by two as they start game four.
22:51Right, next game.
22:53Traditional relay.
22:54Sometimes we're guilty.
22:56All of us are dropping the baton a little bit, so this is to inspire you guys.
23:01Gunnera!
23:02Don't drop the baton, guys.
23:05Woo!
23:08Well done, support team!
23:11Natalie's team finally make it out of the scoreboard, just in time for the final game.
23:16Chucking seawater into a bucket.
23:19It's only one person at a time can go to the water.
23:23So you lose, and they win.
23:25And they level the scores, thanks to a dramatic disqualification.
23:30There's got to be a winner, right?
23:32And how better to decide it than a husband and wife limbo showdown.
23:37How low can they go?
23:39My hip's going to pop out in a minute, but...
23:41There you go!
23:44I'm a bit more subtle with my competitive nature.
23:47You are fairly outrageous.
23:50So good!
23:51And Darren takes the victory.
23:53Well done.
23:54Well done.
23:55Before offering a last-minute winner-takes-all challenge.
23:58If anybody wants to win the game overall and prepare to go in there, you'll win the trophy.
24:06The support team win, and it's been a successful day enjoyed by all.
24:11Great sports, though, no?
24:13That was crazy.
24:14So I didn't expect I have to limbo.
24:16We're going to be taking salsa classes now.
24:18Now I know you've got those moves.
24:19You've got all the skills.
24:21Well done.
24:22Good job.
24:23We won!
24:27Coming up, Declan and Claudia are not impressed.
24:31A little bit dark.
24:32And the Garners absolutely lose it.
24:35LAUGHTER
24:44In Mercia, Natalie and Darren are searching for a forever home for newly retired John and
24:49his wife Siobhan, with a maximum budget of €250,000.
24:54Siobhan was smitten with Property One.
24:56I love it.
24:56I love it.
24:57But John wasn't entirely sold.
24:59I'm not sure about the tile.
25:01For Property Two, Natalie and Darren are making the short 15-minute journey north to a
25:05Estre-de-Mar, a community known for its coastal charm and relaxed Mediterranean feel.
25:11So here we are.
25:12Welcome to Property Two.
25:14Oh, wow.
25:16Hi.
25:17Wow.
25:17I like this.
25:18Yeah?
25:18It's gorgeous.
25:19Big open space here at the front.
25:21Yeah.
25:22Yeah.
25:22Very nice.
25:23What do you think of the location?
25:25Yeah, I do like it.
25:26I do like it, yeah.
25:27Nice and quiet.
25:28Yes, yeah.
25:30Property Two is a spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse.
25:34On the ground floor, a generous living area leads into a fully-fitted kitchen, complete
25:40with a separate utility space.
25:42This level also includes a comfortable double-bedroom and bathroom, giving guests everything they need.
25:49Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a second bathroom, along with a beautiful balcony.
25:54Outside, there's a large front terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, and there's also access to a communal pool.
26:02On the market for €179,000, it's well within their maximum €250,000 budget.
26:12Oh, my favourite colour.
26:13Oh, wow.
26:14Yeah.
26:15I love this colour.
26:16Yeah?
26:17Yeah, yeah.
26:18Well, that's a good start.
26:19Yeah, yeah.
26:19Oh, it's gorgeous.
26:20And what about the furniture, Siobhan?
26:22Yesterday, you liked it.
26:23What about today?
26:25Not as much.
26:26Not as much.
26:27Not as much.
26:27Fair enough.
26:28Wall, yes.
26:29Sofa, no.
26:30Yeah.
26:30Property Two is not scoring well on Siobhan's approval scale.
26:34Well, why don't we head on into the kitchen?
26:37Wow.
26:38Separate to the living room, which yesterday we kind of agreed that it was a good thing.
26:42So, should we head up and see the main bed?
26:44Yes, please.
26:45Come.
26:49It's not huge.
26:51No, it's a bit small.
26:52That looks a big bed, so that's good.
26:54Yeah.
26:55Have a look round.
26:56We'll meet you back out on the bedroom terrace when you're finished, and we'll have a chat.
26:59Okay.
26:59Okay.
26:59Great.
27:02Ooh.
27:02Ooh.
27:03Bathroom.
27:04Yeah.
27:04Small bath, isn't it?
27:06Yeah.
27:06You'd never fit in there.
27:07It's slightly less enthusiasm than yesterday, but I get that, because it's an older property.
27:13It's a decent bed size room.
27:14It is, actually.
27:15It is.
27:16It is, yeah.
27:17Nothing to look at, though, really.
27:19Yeah.
27:20Nothing at all.
27:22Just not getting that same vibe, are we?
27:24Not getting that same big, beaming smile from Siobhan.
27:28Yeah, I guess it's small.
27:30It's a little smaller, isn't it?
27:32Yeah.
27:32Yeah.
27:32It'll be interesting to know their feedback, because we can roll with it then with property
27:36three, but you never know.
27:38You never know what they're doing.
27:39You never know, which you don't.
27:43How have you felt about the property?
27:45The vibe is a little bit more like a holiday home than a forever home.
27:50Yeah.
27:50Okay.
27:50Yeah.
27:50The rooms are a bit small, too.
27:52Sure.
27:53Well, maybe Natalie can entice you a little bit with the price, because it is under your
27:57budget.
27:58I don't think it's going to swing you at the moment, but the price of this property is
28:02179,000 euro.
28:03Oh, interesting.
28:05Interesting.
28:05Yeah.
28:05Very.
28:06Yeah, yeah.
28:06That makes it a bit more interesting.
28:08It's food for taught.
28:09Absolutely.
28:10There's that lovely smile in front of a minute.
28:12There's just one property left, and Natalie and Darren are keen to keep that smile firmly
28:16on Siobhan's face.
28:18On this search, anything could happen.
28:28In Almeria, Sharon and Sean are helping Declan and Claudia find their perfect holiday home with
28:34a maximum budget of 150,000 euros.
28:38The first property had some flaws.
28:40I don't know about the cracks.
28:43Property two delivered on all fronts.
28:46Wow.
28:46Wow.
28:47Wow.
28:47And just kept getting better.
28:49It's just perfect.
28:50But it was still an apartment.
28:53So now they're trying something different for a property three and showing them a townhouse
28:57in the peaceful hamlet of La Muleria.
29:01So, here we go.
29:03Property number three.
29:05One of the main reasons we've brought you to this property is because it's more of a
29:09self-independent house.
29:10It is cute and it's quirky.
29:13Yeah.
29:13I like the greenery.
29:15You know the trees.
29:16Nice trees.
29:17Yeah.
29:17Yeah.
29:17What's the transport kind of links and stuff like that?
29:22It would be more limited here.
29:23You're not on the local bus route.
29:25It has got a lot to offer.
29:27Should we just have a look inside and see what you think?
29:29Whenever you're ready.
29:31Property three is a charming three-bedroom townhouse.
29:35The spacious front terrace leads into the ground floor, featuring three generous bedrooms, one
29:41currently set up as an office.
29:43There's one bathroom, a separate dining room and a beautifully updated kitchen that blends
29:48rustic charm with modern comfort.
29:51Upstairs, a bright lounge opens onto a fantastic roof terrace, perfect for painting outdoors.
29:57Priced at €154,000, it's over their maximum budget, but there's usually room for negotiation
30:04on these things.
30:06You've got a bedroom and a bedroom, and then you come through this hallway, and you come
30:12into this space, which we thought would be fantastic for arts and crafts and keeping all your paintings,
30:19et cetera.
30:20Yeah, it's, I think, a little bit dark.
30:23You need the natural light.
30:25It could be hard enough to light it up, you know.
30:28Yeah, see, we don't think about things like that.
30:30Yeah.
30:32Have a look at this kitchen.
30:33Come and have a look.
30:35Well, wouldn't expect that.
30:38I know.
30:39It stands out, doesn't it?
30:41It does.
30:42It's nice.
30:43It's lovely and modern.
30:44Yeah.
30:45It is quirky.
30:46And it really doesn't match the outside.
30:48Well, outside, you've also got that space there, which is nice and light and bright.
30:53It's really lovely.
30:58You have your lounge.
31:00Wow.
31:01No, that's a wow.
31:02Yeah, yeah.
31:02That's a wow.
31:03So, do you want to have a good look around?
31:05Yeah.
31:06Okay.
31:09Oh, this is nice.
31:11It's a nice property.
31:12It is a nice property, and there's nice little spaces.
31:16We needed to show a third property that was going to give the clients something completely
31:20different to consider.
31:22Yeah, the bedroom.
31:23A little bit small.
31:25I think we sport them with property, too.
31:27I thought the same, actually.
31:28Sometimes people, you know, when they fall in love with the property, they can't get
31:32that property out of the head.
32:02There's a front room.
32:03Back to the office, give you some time to have a chat and talk about it.
32:07Yeah.
32:07Yeah.
32:08Okay.
32:09Good idea.
32:09The final property impresses, but its transport links don't.
32:13Declan and Claudia now need time to weigh things up.
32:20With properties in short supply and rival agents snapping at their heels, the Garners are shaking
32:25things up with a bold new approach to marketing.
32:28So, today, we are heading off to one of our new and exclusive listings.
32:33The idea behind this is we're going to actually be filming ourselves talking about the property
32:38and giving that property that extra little bit of marketing that it needs.
32:42Have you got your bag, do you?
32:43I have got my bag.
32:44Do you like the look of it?
32:46With personalised video tours, they're hoping to stand out from the rest.
32:51They haven't even arrived yet and already they're debating who's going to be in front
32:55and behind the camera.
32:57I'll be doing the filming.
32:58I'm the director.
33:00I'm the pretty face, little Sal.
33:03Hang on a minute there, so what am I?
33:04And you're the gift of the gab.
33:08Rolls sorted, they now need to get the property camera ready.
33:12Don't worry, I'll carry all the kit.
33:14We do have a small problem.
33:15Light is against us, so we need to get this done as quick as possible.
33:20OK.
33:22This could do with a jet wash, though.
33:25Mother, I'm an estate agent.
33:26I'm not going to start jet washing.
33:33I'm going to start jet washing.
33:37The cushion's here, to be honest with you.
33:39It takes me back.
33:40You're ready for school now, son.
33:42There you go.
33:43I thought this particular property was perfect to do today
33:46because it's a brand new exclusive listing to us.
33:50Move over, Steven Spielberg.
33:52My directing soul with Sharon and with Sean,
33:55I tell them exactly where to stand, what to say, what to do,
33:59and they do absolutely the opposite.
34:03After a few final touches...
34:05How many estate agents does it take to open a door?
34:08They're ready to roll.
34:09Right, so I do...
34:10So I'll do the first bit.
34:11If you want to cut it off as we're getting to the top of the stairs...
34:15I tell you what, seeing as I'm the producer,
34:18we'll cut it off just as we get to the top of the stairs.
34:20Just make sure the camera's on, please.
34:23Hello, my name is Sharon.
34:25Good.
34:26But it isn't long before the giggles set in.
34:29I don't know when I'm meant to take over.
34:31OK, take two.
34:33Hello, my name is Sharon and this is Sean.
34:37Mother.
34:39You said you were going to say that.
34:40Yeah, I was going to say that.
34:41Alex, please, children, children, children.
34:45Director Steve attempts to take control.
34:47Time is ticking.
34:49But it's impossible with these two.
34:51We're talking about the flow.
34:52It comes through past the diamond.
34:55Come back again.
34:56I'm sorry, but that was so camp.
34:58We're talking about the flow.
35:00I am a gay man, Mother.
35:02I have a bit of bounce in my step.
35:04What would you like me to do?
35:09Don't do it.
35:11The sweep.
35:12Just down to the sweep because you'll set me off.
35:15Come on.
35:17A bit of jazz, Mum, a bit of jazz.
35:19Right.
35:21So, talking about the...
35:25Let's get serious, guys.
35:27Right, let's go.
35:28Come on.
35:30Sell this property.
35:32Eventually, they hit their stride.
35:35So down this hallway, you have the other two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
35:40Mother, over to you.
35:42You are not going to believe what is behind that door.
35:44Honestly, we constantly giggle.
35:47So it's trying to, you know, still be professional.
35:50And hopefully, with this additional promo video, it'll help get a sale really, really quickly.
35:55In true Ghana style, they somehow pull it off and get the finished product, minus the giggles, on their website
36:02the very next day.
36:04It's an overall, all-round incredible property.
36:08It is.
36:08And this won't be on the market for very long.
36:10It's a wrap.
36:11That's it.
36:12Yay.
36:14Did that cut her OK?
36:18Still to come, it all gets too much for Siobhan.
36:21You OK?
36:22Yeah, I'm good.
36:23Sorry.
36:23And for Declan and Claudia, it's decision time.
36:27It just happened to be exactly what we were looking for.
36:37In Mercia, Natalie and Darren are tasked with finding a forever home for recently retired John and his wife, Siobhan.
36:44I could look at this all day.
36:46With a top budget of €250,000.
36:50Property One turned Siobhan's head...
36:53It's perfect.
36:54...but had John shaking his.
36:55The bedroom's upstairs, either our en-suite.
36:59Outside, property two impressed.
37:01Very nice.
37:02But inside, not so much.
37:04It's a small bath, isn't it?
37:05Yeah.
37:05You'd never fit in there.
37:07For their third and final property, Natalie and Darren have brought the couple to the charming village of Rhoda.
37:16Here we are, Siobhan.
37:17Ooh, I'm excited.
37:18Property Three.
37:19So a location that looks like it's made you very happy.
37:23Yes.
37:23Every time we drive by, I've always admired them, yeah.
37:27What's your general first impressions?
37:29I love the colour.
37:30Good feel to it, yeah.
37:31I like it.
37:31Shall we go inside and see what it's got?
37:33Please.
37:34Let's do it.
37:36Property Three is a stylish three-bedroom townhouse.
37:39Step inside and the ground floor opens into a generous living and dining area.
37:44The modern-fitted kitchen offers plenty of storage and prep space, ideal for king cooks.
37:50Upstairs, the property continues to impress with a second bathroom, a master bedroom, and two extra rooms with bunk and
37:58single beds, perfect for sleepovers with the grandkids.
38:01And there's a communal pool for cooling off in the heat.
38:04On the market for €195,000, it comes in €55,000 under their maximum budget.
38:12Oh, wow.
38:13Ooh.
38:14Oh, we've got the oohs and the smiles back.
38:17Oh, my goodness, yeah.
38:18Does feel really nice.
38:20I love it.
38:21OK, and you can see the kitchen there.
38:23How do you feel about that?
38:25It's perfect.
38:26It's perfect, yeah.
38:28Sorry.
38:28Are you OK?
38:29Yeah.
38:30Bless you.
38:31You OK?
38:32Yeah, I'm OK.
38:32Good, good.
38:33Sorry.
38:34It's good.
38:34It's a lot.
38:35Yeah.
38:35It's a lot to take in.
38:38Good.
38:38Sorry.
38:39Property 3 looks like it's getting Siobhan's seal of approval.
38:42There's just a little thing I'd like to show you through the other door as well that I think you're
38:46going to like just as much.
38:47I don't want to do this.
38:47Go ahead.
38:48Come on, follow me.
38:55Because it's a private little courtyard for the community.
38:58Oh, my Lord.
38:58OK, yeah.
38:59Wow.
39:00Nice, huh?
39:01Yeah.
39:01Beautiful.
39:02That community feel that you want with other people sat here talking, getting to know people, socialising.
39:07I think it is ideal in terms of meeting people.
39:10Yeah.
39:10It's our shared space and so on.
39:13Can upstairs continue to impress?
39:16Come on up.
39:17Let's have a look.
39:20Come on in.
39:20This is nice.
39:22Oh, I like this.
39:23You like the big windows?
39:25Yes.
39:25Yeah.
39:25Yeah.
39:25Very much.
39:27I know you're eager to see the rest of it.
39:29So go and explore.
39:30We're going to meet you on the roof terrace at the end.
39:32OK.
39:33And we'll have a chat.
39:34Please.
39:37Oh, wow.
39:40Oh, my God.
39:41Yeah.
39:42Property three, Natalie.
39:43I think...
39:44It's gone well.
39:46Pretty interesting, eh?
39:46It's gone well.
39:47Oh, nice.
39:48So this is the bathroom, yeah.
39:50I love this.
39:51Bless you.
39:52Really happy.
39:52Getting a little tear there.
39:55No, that's nice.
39:55It's pure emotion that comes out.
39:58You know, this is a big deal.
40:00They're going to live here full time.
40:01Good shot.
40:02I'm going now, yeah.
40:04Nice view of the courtyard, isn't it?
40:05I love it.
40:06I love it.
40:06I love it.
40:08Welcome back.
40:10It's a lovely little bonus of a roof terrace here.
40:13Absolutely.
40:14Do you think you'd use this up here?
40:15Oh, my...
40:16Definitely, yeah.
40:17Well, tell us what you thought of the rest of the house.
40:19The minute we walked in the door, I thought, yeah, this is it.
40:23For me, it's just perfect.
40:25Yeah.
40:25I love it.
40:26Well, we can see from your reaction in the living room.
40:28And I think it's affordable as well within the budget.
40:31It's 195,000 euros.
40:34Nice.
40:35Ooh.
40:36Nice, huh?
40:37Oh, yes.
40:37Oh, wow.
40:38Great price for this property.
40:41Yeah, we're happy with that price.
40:42Brilliant.
40:43Have a good chat and a think about everything that we've seen.
40:47And then we'll meet you back in the office later.
40:49Great.
40:49Sounds good.
40:50Enjoy.
40:51Thank you, guys.
40:52And now there's plenty for Siobhan and John
40:55to ponder.
41:03Back in Almaria, Sharon and Sean are helping artists Declan and Claudia
41:07find a sunny Spanish retreat for painting.
41:10Property one was too small.
41:12No real outside spirit.
41:14Property three was too far.
41:16It's just the transport.
41:18The transport.
41:19Yeah.
41:20Property two was just right.
41:22Can you imagine ourselves doing it?
41:24I could.
41:25Yeah, I could.
41:26But would it be enough?
41:29After some thought, they're back with Sharon and Sean to reveal their decision.
41:35It's been a bit of a journey.
41:37What do you think about the properties we share with you?
41:39Yeah, I think all this.
41:41Yeah.
41:41We love the property number two.
41:43Yeah.
41:44It was obvious, you know.
41:45It wasn't obvious at all.
41:48No, no, no.
41:50Your eyes were just drawn straight to the sea.
41:52We were really excited about the artist area.
41:55It works.
41:56Yeah.
41:56While it's not big, it's perfect.
41:58Yeah.
41:58You know, sometimes you don't need huge.
42:01It just happened to be exactly what we were looking for.
42:04So how do you feel about it now?
42:06What's your thoughts?
42:07It's a big decision, so maybe find out a little bit more about the area and, you know, make
42:14a more informed decision, I suppose.
42:16It's a big decision and you need to know that you're doing the right thing.
42:22Delighted that they found a property that we actually loved and we just need to be more
42:27happy about not just the property, but the area as well.
42:30It is a bit disappointing that we haven't got a sale today, but they need to decide that
42:34it's the perfect town for them.
42:36The best is yet to come.
42:37Yeah, exactly.
42:47Back in Mercia, Natalie and Darren are determined to find John and Siobhan a forever home with
42:52plenty of space for the grandkids.
42:55Property one was close to perfect.
42:57Oh, wow.
42:58That's what we're looking for.
43:00Property two lost the momentum.
43:02Small.
43:02It's a little smaller, isn't it?
43:04But luckily, property three had it all.
43:07Sorry.
43:08Are you OK?
43:09It's perfect.
43:11And now it's decision time.
43:14Here we are.
43:15Welcome back.
43:16Hi.
43:16Welcome back in.
43:18Come and have a seat.
43:19Thank you very much.
43:20So property three created a marvelous reaction.
43:24Tell us what you thought about it and how you feel about it now.
43:27Yeah, I love everything about it.
43:29I love the house.
43:29I love the area.
43:30And there's nothing I would change in the house.
43:33You know, we've come to the south of Spain to find our forever home.
43:37And this property is interesting for us.
43:40So property number three, do you want to make an offer and move forward?
43:45I think we've talked just even on the way.
43:49Yeah.
43:49We're going to do it.
43:50You're going to do it?
43:51Yeah.
43:52Do it.
43:52Yeah.
43:52Right.
43:53Well, let's try and negotiate the deal.
43:56Yes.
43:57And the offer is?
43:58The asking price.
43:59Oh, you really want it?
44:00Yeah.
44:01Yeah.
44:01Don't mess it around.
44:02Just straight in.
44:03Let's get it, yeah?
44:06I've got John and Siobhan with me.
44:08We just came to see the property in Rodeau Village.
44:10And they've got good news.
44:12They'd like to make an offer at full asking price for the property.
44:14Give us a call back and let us know.
44:16Yeah.
44:16Let's wait and see.
44:17My heart is probably going as fast as yours.
44:21Can you hear it?
44:26OK, that's great.
44:28Leave it with me.
44:30Yes.
44:31Oh, my goodness.
44:34Congratulations.
44:35Thank you so much.
44:36Thank you so much.
44:39We just bought a house.
44:40Yeah, yeah.
44:41We're very excited.
44:42That was a great property in a great area.
44:44And I'm absolutely thrilled that they've secured it.
44:47I'm looking forward now to the rest of our lives in our forever home.
44:51We found our forever home and we're super happy.
44:54Yeah.
44:55And this is it.
44:55This is us.
44:56Just get in and close the door.
44:59It was great.
