A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton was left stunned over a buyer's reaction to one property during the latest instalment Laura Hamilton, the host of A Place in the Sun, certainly had her hands full on the latest episode when a house hunter walked out of a property viewing. On Monday's (September 16) episode of the Channel 4 programme, Laura was tasked with helping Paul and his best mate Tina search for the ideal holiday home in Benalmadena. Paul was keen to find the perfect Spanish getaway to share with his husband Shaun, who wasn't able to make the trip.
But things went south quickly as soon as Paul set foot inside the first property Laura had lined up. Displeased by both the smell and appearance, Paul made it clear that he wasn't interested in putting effort into renovations. A stunned Laura, attempting to keep her composure after his blunt assessment, quipped: "Silence.
That's not a good sign!" to which an unequivocal Paul responded: "It's not for me!" When asked if he wanted to stick around to see more, Paul opted to exit. Laura, trying to hide her shock, managed to utter: "I'm surprised, " reports the Mirror . The dramatic exit didn't go unnoticed by viewers, who took to social media to chime in.
One spectator remarked: "I absolutely knew he wasn't going to like that. For his decent budget, that looked sh**e." (sic).
Echoing the sentiment, another fan commented: "Hi all, late in today. Sounds like Laura's got off to a good start if they wouldn't even look round the first property." Laura was left frustrated as she struggled to meet Paul's high standards, with none of the properties on her list impressing him, leading her to brand him "fussy".
She had hoped the final house would change his mind, but Paul found it too large. At the show's conclusion, Laura sought to understand her missteps. She candidly told Paul that while his £250k budget was substantial, he might need to stretch it further for his desired location.
Paul took her advice into consideration, pondering over a penthouse apartment option. However, viewers were less than impressed, believing Paul was just wasting everyone's time. One exasperated fan took to social media, venting: "Why didn't you just ask for a penthouse with a roof terrace for your budget.
.that would have suited your nonstop freaking whinging..
.! If you've just left a big house WHY ask Laura for another?!" (sic) Another chimed in with their frustration: "The luxury villa that Laura saw today is what that fella wanted for 250 grand, he was never going to buy anything. .
waste of time. Got my blood pressure up." A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 4pm on Channel 4.
