In a recent episode of A Place in the Sun, property expert Danni Menzies was on a mission to find Colin and Janet their dream home in the Eastern Algarve in Portugal. The couple had a budget of £350,000 and were looking for a property with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. They were open to doing some work on a property if it was the right fit for them.
However, their search hit a roadblock when they visited the first property and Colin expressed that he would want a new kitchen right away, indicating that there was a lot of work to be done. Despite being impressed with the stunning views, Colin and Janet felt that the property required too much work, both inside and outside. They felt that it was a “step too far” and would dip into their budget significantly.
Throughout the episode, viewers couldn’t help but notice Janet’s repeated mentions of her beloved dog. Many took to social media to comment on the excessive dog references, with some finding it amusing and others growing frustrated with the constant mentions.
Despite not making an offer on the property during filming, it was later revealed that Colin and Janet did make an offer that was accepted after the cameras stopped rolling. This goes to show that sometimes first impressions can be deceiving, and what may seem like a daunting project at first could turn out to be the perfect home with a little bit of vision and effort.
The episode serves as a reminder that finding the perfect home is not always easy and may require compromises and adjustments along the way. It also highlights the importance of taking the time to consider all factors before making a decision, as Colin and Janet did by weighing the costs of fixing up the property before making an offer.
Overall, the episode of A Place in the Sun was a rollercoaster of emotions, from initial disappointments to eventual triumphs, showcasing the highs and lows of the house hunting process. Viewers were left with a valuable lesson in perseverance and the importance of seeing past initial obstacles to find the perfect place to call home.
