The latest series of A Place in the Sun has wrapped, and we’ve seen some incredible property journeys — from bargain buys in Cyprus to brand-new lives on Portugal’s Silver Coast.
Many of our TV house hunters are now settling into their new homes abroad (and some are still mid-adventure!). Here's a look back at just some of the inspiring stories from this series.
“We just wished we had done it sooner” – Buying north of Barcelona
Phil and Paula from North Lincolnshire secured a £131,500 flat in Pineda de Mar, close enough for this lifelong Barcelona FC fan to keep up with the action — without paying Barcelona prices.
📍 Costa Maresme, Spain
“We are finding our feet on Portugal’s Silver Coast”
David and Suzanne reconnected after 40 years — and started a new chapter together in Ataija de Baixo. Their £234,000 home sits 20 minutes from Nazaré’s dramatic waves.
📍 Silver Coast, Portugal
“We’d never dreamt of looking here” – Argaka surprise
Alex and Foluke wanted sunshine and ancient history. With a £60k budget, they found a peaceful two-bed flat in Argaka, Cyprus, and never looked back.

“We didn’t give up” – A second chance in Portugal
Mary and Ian didn’t end up buying on-screen — but found their perfect six-bed home in Bustos months later. Their search led them to inland peace near the Aveiro coast.

“I wanted calm and quiet” – Rachel’s French escape
Rachel left Huddersfield behind for the peaceful Limousin. With a £55,000 to £85,000 budget and a visa approved in just 3 weeks, she’s now surrounded by lakes, forest — and plenty of DIY!

“A screen test, our dream home – and next, a new life in Spain”
Mandy and Mick from Luton took a chance on a screen test — and ended up with a £224,000 villa in Ciudad Quesada. With a mortgage secured and plans to retire soon, their new Spanish chapter is just beginning.

“Don’t just look online” – Searching for winter sun in Fuerteventura
David and Clara from Derby secured a £152,720 one-bedroom apartment in Corralejo’s Atlantic Garden — a property they had initially dismissed online but fell in love with after viewing it through the TV show.
