‘Hit a dead end’ Danni Menzies horrified as A Place in the Sun guests slam ‘flop’ property

A Place in the Sun couple Mark and Peter were looking for a property in Maspalomas, in Gran Canaria, on Friday’s instalment of the Channel 4 programme. They had a budget of £80,000 and hoped Danni Menzies would be able to find a home which ticked all of their boxes. However, the search got off to a rocky start when the pair refused to look around one apartment. 

Mark and Peter met online 12 years ago and have been holidaying in Gran Canaria for the past decade. 

They wanted to buy a property to enjoy getaways with their families and beloved cockapoo, Rosie. 

Danni picked out an apartment in a bustling area to show the pair as the search got underway, but before entering the building Mark fumed: “It’s not us, it’s so busy, it’s so noisy.

“The apartment is going to have to be something very fabulous.” 

The couple reluctantly agreed to have a look inside the apartment, which was on the market for £89,000.

The third option, which was on sale for £95,000, impressed Peter and Mark more than the others but they felt “it was too commercialised” for them. 

The fourth property, priced at £95,000, had recently been renovated and included three bedrooms. 

They thought it was a “lovely” property and “very well put together” but they told Danni the balcony was “too small” and wrote it off. 

Danni was hoping she would be able to dazzle the pair with her fifth and final property which was a one-bedroom apartment with a communal garden priced at £84,000.
