A Place in the Sun’s Jasmine Harman winces as property ‘strikes terror’ into guests and they grind viewing to halt
A PLACE in the Sun’s Jasmine Harman winced as a property terrified guests, bringing the viewing to a halt.
The Channel 4 host was on board to help Lesley and Clive find their perfect home in Algarve, Portugal.
The couple told Jasmine that they had a £190,000 budget and they wanted a two-bedroom home with a shared pool and outdoor space.
Jasmine advised them that they would need to make some compromises and decided to take a gamble by showing them the first property.
However, their experience took a terrifying turn the moment they stepped foot inside the place.
At first, the couple liked the shared pools and peaceful atmosphere of the complex, which had over 140 apartments.
But there was one feature that Clive warned would have “struck terror” in them if it weren’t for the nicer aspects.
Nervously, the couple noticed a block of apartments obstructing the view of the one they were about to see.
When they walked into the apartment, Clive was disappointed to find that their terrace overlooked other people’s balconies, providing a limited view of the gardens.
Lesley said: “Yeah, I’m not actually quite keen on this, only because there is quite a big block in front of us.”
With a wince, Jasmine murmured, “Oh really?”
But despite a rocky start, Leslie and Clive ended up finding a few properties they were liked.
They made an offer of £172,000 on a holiday home that was originally listed for around £190,000. The offer was accepted.
