A Place in the Sun

We are sorry, but this episode is currently unavailable to view online.

Niel and Jean Soley are seeking a holiday home that can double up as a retirement property around Huelva in southern Spain.

More about Niel and Jean and their property search

Niel and Jean Soley met in 1997 in a car park, spent their wedding night in one in the back of a campervan, and are now looking to invest in somewhere a little bit more glamorous.
 
Having spent years travelling around Europe they had previously been stopped from buying a property by commitments at home, especially caring for Niel’s elderly mother. However, since she passed away last year they can now go ahead with their plans to find a holiday home which they will eventually relocate to.

They have fallen for Huelva in Andalucia, especially the largely undiscovered inland area. Most of the region is a national park which means that there are no high rises and some beautiful rural property, which costs around 40% less than the more popular Spanish market in the Costa del Sol.  

The couple have a £210,000 budget to make their dreams of a 2/3 bedroom rural and isolated property with some land, a pool and an outhouse come true.
