A Place In The Sun buyers' pickiness slammed

A picky couple's budget was slammed for being too small given everything they were expecting their home to have.

Jasmine Harman jetted off to Almunecar on Spain’s Costa Tropical to help Marian and Donald find their dream holiday home. For their budget of £120,000, they’re looking for a two-bed, two-bathroom property with a sea view.

As the couple was shown around their potential new homes, it was clear from the beginning that neither one of them liked what they saw. Complaints surfaced regarding the number of stairs that needed to be climbed along with the amount of light entering the main rooms.

Jasmine managed to keep her cool but after two properties were kicked to the curb almost instantly, it wasn't looking positive for the home hunters as cracks started to show. The couple stated the third property had a lot of cosmetic issues and it would take a lot for Marian to look past and was subsequently added to the list of throwaways.

Viewers agreed they knew the solution to their problems - a huge cash injection to their budget. One viewer said: "Poor Jas. Bad budget = bad choice. It ain’t rocket science…is it?"

Another viewer added: "Jasmine after seeing the budget v the wish list," accompanied by a gif of a woman drinking heavily. A third comment said: "Why do people go on this show with a pitiful budget but expect a mansion!!"

Even though the final property they were shown "ticked all the boxes", Donald and Marian still refused to consider it given its unpreferable location. The couple eventually passed on all of Jasmine's offers and left the show with nothing which she called "disappointing."
