A Place In The Sun viewers taken aback by buyer's confession

A Place In The Sun viewers were shocked by a buyer's larger-than-average family.

Retirees Pauline and Peter have been visiting Lanzarote separately for over 15 years, and even met each other there. They said the time was right to buy their own holiday home in their favourite resort of Playa Blanca with the help of Jasmine Harman.

With a hefty budget of £350,000, Jasmine was thrilled to help the couple. They requested a scenic view of the island but admitted space was their biggest concern as it may be a deal breaker if there wasn't enough room.

Pauline said they needed a minimum of three bedrooms, an outdoor pool and a large lounging area if there were going to place an offer. Jasmine questioned their specific needs before the couple explained their family is a lot larger than most.

Peter said he and his wife share three children and 15 grandchildren together, leaving the property expert visibly shocked. She said: "Wow that's a pretty big family, isn't it." Viewers were also taken aback by the confession as they couldn't believe what they just heard.

One viewer said: "With 15 grandkids no wonder they spend seven months away! So would I!" Another added: "15 grandkids they’d be better off buying a crèche."

A third viewer said: "They’ve got too many grandkids to consider I think, but what do I know."

The couple eventually found their dream home as they put in a "cheeky" offer of £315,000 on a property, almost £50,000 below the asking price. Though the owner initially rejected the bid, they agreed on a spacious villa for £349,000.
