Next week it is 20 years since the very first A Place in the Sun Live property show in London.
At London’s ExCel exhibition centre from 9th-11th May an extra special event will celebrate two decades. In the world of overseas property that is a lot of staying power – through booms and busts, Brexit, a pandemic, then to Trump it all… we’re pulling out all the stops to celebrate 20 incredible years of helping people find their very own place in the sun!
A Place in the Sun Live is the biggest overseas property exhibition held in the UK and remains the go-to place for finding everything buyers need to buy an overseas property.
Amanda Lamb was the face of that very first show, one of the stars of the popular TV series that had launched five years before and has gone from strength to strength. Next week Amanda is back – alongside Jasmine and Laura – so do come along and meet the stars, alongside some house hunters from the TV series.
A Place in the Sun TV show has helped thousands of house hunters during that 20 years, and many started their journey doing a screen test at one of the exhibitions, or by finding an estate agent they could work with to find their dream home.
So many buyers tell us that coming to the exhibition fast-tracked or kick-started their property search. They may have searched online, watched webinars, or tried to meet estate agents whilst on holiday, but nothing worked as well as meeting people face to face.
Whether it’s on legal issues or visa help, the appetite of home hunters for accurate, up-to-date information is stronger than ever, and no other show in the UK (or Ireland) offers the chance for property hunters to meet a wide range of professionals from across the world under one roof. In an industry of constantly changing residency or tax rules, it’s now more important than ever.
Need a lawyer? Tick. Wanting to understand how to save money on transferring your funds abroad using a foreign exchange specialist? We have that covered. Looking for mortgage advice, tax information or just inspiration – there’s all of that too.
There’s an exceptional choice of destinations represented in London, with a range of property experts from Dubai, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Cambodia, Zanzibar, Turkey and Bulgaria. These are alongside the ever-popular favourites: Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Italy, Greece and Florida.

Spain is still the favourite place to buy, for many good reasons. The January announcement of plans for a supertax for non-EU buyers has not come to fruition, and there have been no signs since then that it might ever do so.
Whether buyers are seeking a more affordable way to live, a better quality of life, or just an adventure outside the day-to-day routine of life in the UK, they find inspiration and advice here at London ExCel next week.
