A Place in the Sun’s Ben Hillman found himself on an emotional journey as he tried to find the perfect Spanish retreat for house hunters Mark and Candy. Armed with a budget of £77,000, the pair were searching for a three-bedroom property filled with traditional charm.
Given Mark’s background in construction, they were open to a bit of DIY, something they made clear to the Channel 4 presenter. However, it seemed that Ben may have overestimated just how much renovation work the couple were prepared to undertake.
The disappointment was evident on Candy’s face during their second viewing, leading her to admit: “I’m just not feeling this at all.” Taken aback, Ben asked: “I understood you incorrectly. I know you said a project is fine and the fact you are a builder as well. Have I run away with that?”.

Candy then admitted that they might not have clearly communicated their boundaries, saying: “I’m finding that a little bit more daunting, the level of renovations so maybe we’ve not made it entirely clear? “, reports the Mirror.
She then went on to clarify to Ben that while they were willing to revamp a room or two, the extent of the renovations required for this property was simply too much. As emotions escalated and Candy fought back tears, Ben asked: “It’s not what you’re imagining, not what you’re hoping for. This is a project too far, is it?.”
Candy then responded: “It is, I’m sorry.” Ben then reassured her, telling her there was no need to apologise and that their focus should remain on securing their dream home.
The emotional journey reached its peak during the third house viewing, when Mark and Candy toured the property. It was a touching moment as Mark admitted: “I’m getting emotional now! It’s lovely.”
By the end of the programme, viewers witnessed Mark and Candy decide to make an offer of £76,250 for the house they had fallen in love with. While Ben was on the phone enquiring whether the furniture was included in the asking price, Mark’s became visible anxious.
The tension was then cut by Ben’s announcement that the furniture would be part of the deal at the proposed price, which brought the couple to tears of happiness.
