A Place In The Sun
A Place in the Sun is a successful show that quenches the viewer's thirst for both property and travel programmes.
Given a helping hand by presenter Amanda Lamb (who is a former estate agent and model), British friends and couples are guided through the foreign country of their dreams, where they hope to find either a new home or somewhere to take a break in.
A dedicated team of researchers root out several properties to be considered by the house-hunters, who are guided round them and given expert advice by Lamb and her occasional co-hosts, Victoria Hollingsworth, Jasmine Harman, Seetha Hallett, Zilpah Hartley and Simone Bienne.
Success stories on A Place in the Sun include affordable properties in sunny European locations such as Greece and Crete, as well as closer-to-home countryside destinations like Devon.
A Place in the Sun has also branched out to help couples explore more far-flung, but affordable property investment regions, such as Acapulco in Mexico, where £200,000 can buy six-bedroom penthouse apartments.
The show's success has meant a magazine and live property exhibitiion have also followed in its wake.
