A decade-long dream takes center stage in this week’s “A Place in the Sun,” as Sussex couple Marie and Peter finally embark on their quest for a Spanish holiday home near Mar Menor. Armed with a £65,000 budget and a shared vision nurtured over 10 years of coupledom, they’ve entrusted property expert Leah Charles-King to navigate the often-treacherous terrain of overseas property hunting.
Teaching assistant Marie and IT manager Peter clearly yearn for sunny skies and a tranquil escape. The question is: can Leah deliver? Finding a property that ticks all the boxes within their budget will be a challenge. Will they fall for a charming fixer-upper, or gravitate towards a move-in ready haven?
The Mar Menor area holds a particular allure for the couple, and the episode offers viewers a peek into the local property market. Whether any of the options presented will capture Marie and Peter’s hearts – and their hard-earned cash – is the central question. Will this be the start of their Spanish adventure, or just another chapter in their ongoing property saga?
“A Place in the Sun” airs Wednesday, February 5, 2025, on Channel 4.
