Channel 4's A Place in the Sun buyers view 20 properties and don't like any

A Place in the Sun host Jasmine Harman was in the south of France during Tuesday's episode as she helped couple Simon and Lawrence in their quest for the perfect holiday home.

They began their search in the peaceful Charente region of south west France. The pair wanted a traditional-style property with enough storage for their mountain bikes.

With a tight budget of just £100,000, Jasmine admitted she had a challenge on her hands. And it didn't seem like Simon and Lawrence were easily impressed.

Prior to seeing any of the homes Jasmine had up her sleeve, the pair admitted they'd already viewed more than 20 properties in the area but didn't like any of them.

Jasmine's first offering was a three-bedroom house in Lessec, however Simon and Lawrence were put off by its "dark" rooms. They said they were hoping to get "that feeling" when they walked into a place.

Simon seemed to like the second property, a three-bedroom home in Saveille, on the market for £107,000, but Lawrence didn't seem as convinced.

The third property had four bedrooms and was on the market for less than £90,000, it seemed ideal until it came to the bedrooms. The doors to get inside were very small and narrow, and Lawrence said it put him off.

Fans at home enjoyed the search, with many saying the same thing. Taking to Twitter, BuckBuck220 said: "That's a bargain for the money".

Peter said: "Get a lot for your money in France". Kath said: "£88k? I'd be biting their hands off!"

A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4 and All 4
