A Place in the Sun’s Jasmine Harman scolds ‘cheeky’ guests after property faux pas – but they have the last laugh
A PLACE in the Sun star Jasmine Harman couldn’t help but hit out at a couple after they made a ‘cheeky’ offer on a property she had already shown them earlier.
In yesterday’s show Jasmine flew to Mar Menor in Spain for the episode that saw her try and find couple Tracey and Dean their dream holiday home.

The Channel 4 show, which helps people find their ideal vacation properties, saw Jasmine shocked as the couple revealed they wanted to put down a “cheeky” offer on a property.
Tracey and Dean, who were after a two-bedroom home, had their eyes set on an apartment that was already under their budget of £70,000.
The pair, who have always dreamed about living abroad, revealed they needed space for their three children and two foster children to visit so therefore needed the second bedroom.

Ahead of their property hunt, Jasmine quizzed the couple on what they were after and why they were attracted to living and buying in Spain.
Dean replied: It’s fantastic here. Lovely sun, lovely sea it’s brilliant.”
Jasmine questioned further: “And what has made you decide to make this move now?”
Tracey replied: “It’s always been a dream to move to Spain.

“We want to spend more time in the sun and the weather at home stops us from doing our hobbies.”
Dean and Tracey revealed they adore jet skiing and often travel to Devon in the UK to do it so living in Spain means they can do it whenever they like.
Within the first property the search was successful as the couple fell head over heels in love with it.
It was on the market for £55,500, well under their budget, but did need renovation work done to make it more modern.

After looking around all five properties the pair decided to go for the first property.
Explaining their decision, Tracey said: “It’s been really hard because the [first property] needs a lot of work.
Dean added: “We just didn’t think we’d get that close to the beach.

“Considering the work that needs doing we’re going to be a bit cheeky or a lot cheeky and offer £46,500.”
Jasmine replied: “It’s on the market for £55,500 which is already well under budget but you’d like to knock some more off the price. I don’t know how likely an offer that low will be accepted but I’ll put a call into the agent.”
Thankfully for the couple, after some negotiation, the owner agreed to a price of £48,000.
A Place in the Sun airs on weekdays on Channel 4 at 4pm.
