A Place in the Sun guests were left blown away by the fifth and final property they were shown17:56, 29 Jun 2026A couple on A Place in the Sun have stunned viewers with their “cheeky” offer.Channel 4 presenter Ben Hillman joined buyers Gary and Sandra to find their dream holiday home on Spain’s Costa Calida.The couple, from Redditch, near Birmingham, had a budget of £90,000, but managed to find their ideal property for a much lower price.Professional artist Sandra and warehouse worker Gary had met almost two decades ago, and though they’d never bought a property together, they were about to mark the major milestone.The couple, who had been married for 16 years when the episode originally aired in September 2024, were looking for a home in Mazarron, Murcia, with two bedrooms.It didn’t take long to impress the pair, as, in the repeat episode airing on Monday, June 29, the pair were blown away by one potential home.Ben explained: "It is two bedrooms, it's not two bathrooms this time. But, you've probably noticed a little staircase on the side, taking you to a roof terrace."Gary replied: "I'm flabbergasted, it looks amazing. The surroundings are fantastic."Ben went on: “I’m going to tell you about the price now, and I don’t like to disappoint you so I’m not going to.”When Ben revealed that the price of the apartment was £61,500, almost £30,000 less than their budget, the house-hunters were even more stunned.Gary quipped to Ben: "Steady, what?! Ben, have you ever been kissed on telly?"The property expert laughed back: "I'm always up for firsts Gary! Bring it in."“Are you shocked?” he asked them, as Sandra admitted: “Very shocked, I thought this was going to be over budget.”Seeing inside the property, Sandra said: “Me likey,” as Gary added: “It’s everything we’ve been looking for. It’s modern, it’s fantastic.”“I know you’re gobsmacked,” Ben said, as Gary admitted he was speechless.They described the property as everything they were looking for, saying: “It’s perfect.”The couple were quick to put in an offer on the final property they saw, with Ben confirming it “stole the show”.Sandra and Gary first put in an offer of £58,000, just slightly below the asking price, but were given a counteroffer of £59,211, which they quickly accepted.As Ben congratulated them, Sandra: “I feel really, really happy.”Viewers were thrilled for them, with one writing: “They’ve got a bargain! Well done to them both.”“Well they got it. Cheeky sometimes pays off!” another said.“58! Cheeky,” someone else echoed. Another said: “Glad for them. They were a nice couple.”Another person wrote: “Budget of 90k offer of 58k,” to which one viewer replied: “32 grand in the back pocket. Bish bash bosh.”Article continues belowA Place in the Sun airs weekdays from 3pm on Channel 4.
