A Place in the Sun viewers slam ‘insulting’ end to episode as couple slapped with double rejection

A PLACE in the Sun viewers have slammed an ‘insulting’ end to an episode after a couple were slapped with a double rejection.

Danni Menzies was on hand to help Fleur and Steve find their dream home in Spain on a recent episode.

The couple had a budget of £150,000 and wanted a detached home with a nice view.

Danni showed them five properties and they particularly liked number three, a two bed villa on half an acre of land surrounded by fruit trees and on the market for £161,261.

The villa was up in the mountains and while Fleur said it was more beautiful than she could have dreamed of, Danni mentioned they’d probably need a 4×4 to reach the main road from the property.

In a bid to find a property that was a bit more accessible, Danni’s fifth home was a three bed villa which they also liked.

Fleur and Steve then faced the “ultimate dilemma” before deciding to put an offer in on property number three.

They went with £135,000 based on the fact they would also need a car.

But A Place in the Sun viewers at home were not impressed by the reasons behind such a low offer.

One wrote: “Well don’t buy a 4×4 buy a ordinary car ?”

Another added: “OH MY GOD that offer is insulting”.

A third tweeted: “I do love a good old episode of expectation vs reality.”

Unsurprisingly, the owner rejected the low offer because the property hadn’t been on the market for long.

The couple then went back with an offer of £145,000 but that was also rejected meaning it was back to the drawing board when it came to finding their dream home.

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