A Place in the Sun: Couple offer 190k for house
A Place in the Sun viewers have blasted one couple who put in an extremely low offer on a £245,000 property.
On Tuesday’s instalment of the Channel 4 show, property expert Jean Johansson was helping Andrea and Gary find their perfect holiday home.
With a maximum budget of £205,000, the couple told Jean they wanted a home with outdoor space which was detached from other properties.
After showing them a few houses around the island, it was the last place which won Andrea and Garry over.
The villa featured uninterrupted views of Marigot Bay which left the couple speechless as they knew they’d found their dream property.

Speaking to Jean later on, they decided they wanted to make an offer, despite it being way out of their initial maximum budget.
Gary said: “Taking everything into account, even though it’s a beautiful property, there’s no air conditioning.
“So that’s a big thing for us we’d like to put some air conditioning in and a few little minor things around the property.
“We’d like to go in at £190,000. You do look surprised I know, we’re cash buyers, a straight-through process.”

However, after hearing Gary’s low offer, fans were reeling as many called them out for going way under the asking price.
Taking to Twitter, @johnnyhazell36 said: “£190k insulting not cheeky.” @steve_evo added: “Not a chance.”
A user called @theMaizeK said: “Taking the p**s [sic].”
@CI5TonyRhodes fumed in light of their followers: “£190,000 cheeky g**!”
After a few counter offers, the owner decided Gary and Andrea could have their dream home for £208,3000, which was £3,000 over their maximum budget.
However, not wanting to lose their dream home, they accepted the final offer and were thrilled.
Commenting on them securing the house, @johnnyhazell36 commented: “Amazing fair shout – get in lucky couple.”
A Place in the Sun continues weekdays on Channel 4 from 4pm.
