A Place in the Sun presenter cringes as ‘scared’ couple rejected by estate agent after VERY low offer

A PLACE in the Sun presenter Scarlette Douglas was left cringing as a ‘scared’ couple were rejected by an estate agent after a VERY low offer.

Tuesday’s edition of the Channel 4 show saw Scarlette meet Sandra and Robert in Costa Blanca, Spain, as they searched for their dream home.

After the first two properties left the couple feeling indifferent, they fell in love with the third house Scarlette showed them, a two-bed townhouse in Las Ramblas.

One of their requirements was plenty of outdoor space, and property number three had access to three communal pools, two terraces, a balcony and a roof terrace. 

The only downside was they would have preferred a property closer to the beach, which Scarlette was able to find them in the final house.

The two-bed bungalow was close to the beach with a private garden and on the market for £107,000.

But despite loving the property, the couple decided to put a low offer in of £90,000.

Perplexed, Scarlette asked: “That is quite low, why are we going in that low? Why are we starting there?”

“It is cheeky,” Sandra admitted as Robert explained: “Mainly because it does need a little bit of work.”

Scarlette duly put the couple’s offer in, only for it to be rejected by the owner’s estate agent.

Scarlette told the couple the owner wouldn’t accept £90,000 but would accept closer to £99,000.

They then did a counter offer of £95,000 with the owner then coming back with £97,000.

Sandra said: “I want to go in the middle,” but Robert asked: “Are you sure? I don’t think my stomach can take it” and so they agreed to the £97,000 price.

A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4.
