Welcome to A Place in the Sun Live, the official exhibition of the Channel 4 TV series and the largest overseas property exhibition in Europe - the perfect place to help guide you through the buying process and find your ideal property abroad.
A Place in the Sun Live takes place in three venues around the UK – Manchester, London and Birmingham and now our new format A Place in the Sun Live Property Showcase. Each show has between 100 and 130 exhibitors from all over the world ready to showcase their collection of beautiful overseas homes for sale and explain the buying process in these different countries.
Thousands of properties will be on display from a range of estate agents and private sellers. Spain will be well represented with agents from all over the mainland, the Canaries and Balearic Islands with properties from £50,000 upwards. Or if it’s France, Italy, Portugal, USA, Cyprus or elsewhere that interests you then come along to pick the brains of people in the know (check the full exhibitor list five weeks prior to each event).
Buying abroad is complicated right? Not if you go about things the right way, and start the process by speaking to a lawyer – just as you would in the UK.
Discover a wealth of professional advice on legal, financial, tax and currency matters and speak to experts who have travelled to the UK to meet people like you.
At the centre of our exhibition you’ll find the Hub – the focal point of your day and the beating heart of our event with informative sessions from our panel of experts and talks from the stars of the TV show. From a chat with Jasmine to ‘Where and how to buy in Spain’ – the Hub is an essential place to visit.
Grab a seat early to hear from real buyers who came to the exhibition in previous years and are now proud owners of their very own place in the sun and have come back to tell you all about it.
A show-within-a-show for all things French; speak to agents, lawyers, tax advisers and people who have made the move to find out what makes a successful house purchase in la belle France.
