A Place in the Sun's Ben Hillman was taken aback as a buyer "unexpectedly" halted a search on today's show.
The expert was helping Ian and Emily find their dream holiday home in Mallorca on Wednesday's edition of the popular Channel 4 programme. The buyers were armed with a maximum budget of £480,000 and were searching for a large property with enough space for their three children.
Ben was struggling to find a contender as the couple quickly dismissed the first two properties on the hunt. This prompted him to look further afield as he took Ian and Emily to a four bed townhouse in Pollensa.

The property boasted a fantastic location with plenty of space and was priced at £358,974. However, Emily was underwhelmed as soon as she walked in the front door.
She said: "It's not doing it for me. Sorry, it feels like the basement of that other place. I kind of thought we might come in and there'd by a light well of a courtyard or garden. And it's the complete opposite of what I thought I might see."
Ian added: "It's shocked you, hasn't it?" The remark sparked the host to plead "oh no" as the buyers agreed it was not worthwhile to continue the search.
Ben admitted he didn't expect the reaction as he added: "I thought they loved Pollensa and all the properties that go with it but clearly this isn't the one for them."
The search improved with the final viewing on the hunt. The three bed townhouse in Cala Sant Vicenc was beautifully furnished and priced at £358,974.
However, the couple eventually decided against putting an offer in as their search for the perfect holiday home continues.
