A Place In The Sun Danni Menzies' behind the scenes trick when someone doesn't like a property

A Place In The Sun's Danni Menzies shared her thoughts on buyers who cut their viewings short.

The Channel 4 series documents the journey of eager house hunters travelling across Europe with the hope of finding themselves the perfect home away from home. Their journey isn't always a success as some leave the show without finding their dream property whereas others can't manage to strike a deal with the owner.

Some house hunters refuse to view a property entirely, effectively cutting the tour short, for reasons such as the exterior not being to their liking or an unfavourable location. Danni Menzies was one of the show's most popular property experts and admitted it can be somewhat difficult to deal with those not willing to immerse themselves in the experience.

Discussing tours that don't go to plan, she said: "It’s tough because you never know what people are going to love or what they're not going to love and priorities always change drastically. They're on location and you're seeing things in real life, so you think you want one thing and then you get there and something else becomes more important."

Danni revealed producers always have a backup at the ready in case of an overly fussy buyer. In her conversation with Express, she added: "We cut to the house hunters when we are viewing a property, but we try to kind of predict what they might think or say or a feel where we actually see it.

"We have the properties you see on the show but we also have a backup selection as well. There is sometimes a scramble to change how we film things in order to do the best by the house hunters.

"Sometimes we have some good back-ups and sometimes we have to make some phone calls late at night."

Danni admitted she sometimes panics about a house hunter shooting down all of her options but she can become wary if they are also too positive. She added: "If they like all five properties, it’s like, ‘Are you taking this seriously?’ Because you can’t love everything.

"I find it okay if they don’t like a couple but if you get to property three and they don’t like one of those, then you start to panic a bit and you're like, 'Oh, God, are we doing it right?'"
