Scarlette Douglas was on a mission to find Sandra and Robert their dream holiday home in Costa Blanca, Spain during the latest edition of A Place in the Sun. The Channel 4 expert had a tough


search on her hands but was able to find the couple a property they loved so much that they decided to put an offer forward. However, Scarlette was stunned by how low the pair were prepared


to go with their proposal.  The first two properties failed to capture the couple’s imagination but they also refused to rule either apartment out.  However, Sandra and Robert feel in in


love with Scarlette’s third offering – a two-bed townhouse in Las Ramblas. After living in Australia for several years, the couple were desperate to buy a property with plenty of outdoor


space.  The townhouse included access to three communal pools, two terraces, a balcony and a roof terrace.  READ MORE: A PLACE IN THE SUN HOST SCARLETTE DOUGLAS DETAILS SEAWEED BLUNDER “Also


it is a negotiation so this is our starting point,” Sandra commented.  As Scarlette spoke to the estate agent, Robert remarked: “I’m scared,” and his partner added: “That wasn’t a yes.”


“They’ve come back and won’t accept £90,000 but they will accept closer to £99,000,” the presenter revealed.  Robert decided they would change their offer to £95,000 but his wife


interjected: “I was going to say £94,000 but then I’m tight.” While Scarlette relayed the new offer to the estate agent, Sandra joked: “That’s a whole £1,000 I’ve given away.  The Channel 4


presenter revealed the owner had counter-offered them again with £97,000. “I want to go in the middle,” Sandra said but her husband hit back: “Are you sure? I don’t think my stomach can take


it.” The couple agreed on £97,000 and Scarlette was thrilled to tell them the property was theirs.  _A PLACE IN THE SUN AIRS ON WEEKDAYS ON CHANNEL 4 AT 3PM._
