A Place In The Sun buyer’s dream home turns into nightmare after 2am discovery

A Place In The Sun buyer Donna has admitted how her dream home has transformed her life after a night out led to a 2am discovery.

The Channel 4 show’s host, Sara Damergi, was on hand to help Donna and her best friend Savannah find their ideal holiday home in Roquetas de Mar, Spain. With a budget of £70,000, they were seeking a two-bedroom apartment in the region.

The final property on their search stole Donna’s heart, and she managed to secure it for £67,241. Speaking to the official A Place In The Sun website, Donna shared that the move felt like it had added 20 years to her life.

She said: “It completed on 20th March. We’d booked flights over in April so we spent a week there and I went back in May with my mum and my daughter, and then Savannah and I went in June and then again August with a friend – it really has been used,” she added.

Donna also expressed her love for Roquetas del Mar, which is easily accessible from Almeria airport for just €5. She praised its long, sandy beach, numerous shops including Mango, Bershka, Primark, and its traditional side too, reports the Liverpool Echo.

She said: “I had never been to the area before, but as I was searching online for properties over the years, dreaming of buying somewhere, I could see the prices increasing and focused on Costa Almeria. But this is what I’ve wanted to do for a very long time.”

“I am selling up the marital home and saving up so I have the financial resources to get a visa and move over. It might take four years but at 58 then I’ll be ready! Savannah is looking to do the same. It’s definitely been the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s been such a lift that I think it’s added 20 years onto my life.”

Yet, the relocation wasn’t all smooth sailing. On the night she came back from an outing in town she revealed: “We came back from a night out at 2am and found a flooded kitchen.

“We were scooping water out of the window with bowls. Then we had no water for two days so we showered on the beach. But I found a great local engineer to sort it out, and when the fridge broke down a bit after that, I gave him a call and again he helped replace it for me.”
