A Place In The Sun viewers spot major flaw with buyers' property search

A Place In The Sun viewers were alarmed to hear the extent of a couple's lengthy search for a property.

Lee Juggurnauth flew off to help Sarah and Justin locate their perfect holiday home on Greece's southwest Peloponnese peninsula. They wanted a spacious two-bedroom property that was low maintenance and had a healthy budget of £320,000 to play with.

The couple were critical of everything they were shown and often shut down a property before having a look inside. In several cases, they said the location was completely wrong and wouldn't be a contender no matter what the interior looked like.

Lee met their on-paper requests but managed to have little to no luck in person with any of the properties he lined up. Their penchant for Greece appeared to be where their issues lay as viewers picked up on a small detail that signalled the cause of their problems.

Sarah and Justin told Lee they had been looking for a holiday home in the area for a whopping six years. Viewers suggested that the couple needed to look somewhere else entirely as the area simply wasn't capable of fitting their tastes.

One viewer said: "If you haven't found a suitable property in 6 years, its not a search, its a hobby."

Another added: "If you can't find a suitable property in a particular location after 6 years searching, maybe, just maybe, you should try a different location."

Whilst a third said: "Did I hear correctly? They’ve been looking for 6 *years*?"

Coming together at the end of the show, Sarah and Justin admitted their minds were swayed by the final few properties. Going away to consider planning details and requirements, they put down an offer after the show wrapped.
