This programme could be very good but…

This programme could be very good but is spoilt by the presenters, especially Jasmine with her over the top enthusiasm. It would be better there was more from the people looking around, instead there is a whistle stop tour of the property, we see a small bit of what they think, then we're on to a a craft fair, pig farm or something equally inane. This is usually accompanied by "You're only ten mile yomp from this lovely square, and the property is only £25000 above your budget." Don't the researchers listen to what these buyers want?

Loud music over presenters' voices

In the new series being aired now the presenters' voices are obliterated by the overly loud music during the full description of the property prior to the prospective buyers going inside. Awful. Doesn't anybody check this before the final cut?!

Headache in the sun …

What moron decided to spoil a perfectly delightful program with loud obnoxious music. Perhaps it should be renamed “dancing in the sun “. Michael Marks

Absolutely awful over loud music taken over the program!

I agree with recent posters who complain about the absolutely awful disco type well over loud music which appears to have practically taken over the program.
One can hardly hear the presenter as the music crashes in at almost every opportunity.
Even while the property seekers are looking around a property.
The program should now change it's name to:
A Place In The Disco!

Love the programme - stop the music

What’s with the nasty disco ‘Ibiza’ type music that keeps playing in between shots? It often plays in the background when people are speaking too.

Please at least change it to something softer and less irritating.

Aside from that, I love this programme as it has plenty of properties to see.

But stop the music.

Complete liars and disrespectful

Called by them in July asking if we could be available August or September for filming. Said we could be and answered a lot more questions. Was told we would be sent properties etc by email to consider and they would get back to us. Never heard from them since and just seen them filming in Bergerac!
Disgusting lies and very disrespectful, typical channel 4

Terrible Presenters

My wife and I enjoy the programmes unless Laura Hamilton or Jasmine Harman are presenting it, when we switch off. Their condescending, repetitive questions, and unreal stupid reactions to house hunters replies, make the whole programme annoying to say the least. If an offer is made, the over the top excitement by the presenters and the manner in which they approach the Agent/Owner is always in the same vein and totally inappropriate.

Getting worse by the day

Getting worse by the day, I’m afraid lockdown and place in the sun has highlighted that some of the presenters and budgets are simply a waste of time.

The new get out clause is couples need to go home and review their budgets, it should be called a free weekend in the sun, today’s Gran Canaria search is one of the poorest episodes I’ve seen for a while.

It was a great day but unfortunately…

It was a great day but unfortunately was spoiled later that year, my wife and I booked with Mark from your dream home in The Sun, to go and visit some properties in Spain with a view to buy. We paid him £200 and was due to fly out several weeks later, unfortunately covid came along and we could not travel, after about 30 emails to Msrk and his company regarding the repayment of my money I finally got a reply from Mark, only after I threatened to go on Twitter about his conduct,and he said he would send me the money back all I had to do was send my bank details, that was 2 weeks ago and still no money, I’ve sent 20 more emails to him and not 1 reply, it is totally unacceptable and I would advise anyone thinking of booking a visit with mark or his company who came recommended by A PLACE IN THE SUN not to part with your money, Mr Glover

Amazing show with Jonnie Irwin

Amazing show that was very informative and must say seeing Jonnie was definitely my highlight (maybe not so much for my husband). I hope I don't need to attend next year as will have already bought and relocated :)

Questions answered

We came to view properties in two potential locations and it was perfect as we got all our questions answered for both areas, so we've narrowed down our search as a result. Hopefully will be able to find the right property for us soon!

Great Show

Myself and my wife visited the show as we are interested in buying a villa in Spain.

There were some great talks there and we managed to speak to people who helped start our journey towards getting that villa. Would recommend the event to anyone wanting to buy property abroad.
