Craig Rowe has been buying and renovating properties for two decades and he joined A Place in the Sun earlier this year to find clients their dream homes abroad. While the Channel 4 presenter had to club together with his younger sister in order to afford his first home, he recently shared the benefits of owning a property rather than renting one with Express.co.uk.
Craig, who is perhaps best known for presenting on the channel QVC and This Morning, grew up in Bristol with his parents and sister.
He exclusively told Express.co.uk his parents were a huge influence on him when he was growing up as they were determined to buy a home together in the 1970s.
Craig revealed: “They really had to scrimp and save and go without loads.
“It was just to get enough money together to get a mortgage.”

“We actually clubbed together and bought our property, and it was from there I kind of got the bug wanted to renovate it.”
Craig explained it was from there that his passion for renovating property was ignited.
He landed a presenting role on A Place in the Sun in January but admitted he had a “challenging” start to the Channel 4 programme due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
When he went to Barbados for the programme, he was worried about testing positive for coronavirus as he would have had to isolate himself which could affect filming schedules.
