A Place in the Sun turns awkward as couple cut viewing short after 'deal breaker'

A Place in the Sun's Jean Johansson left one couple feeling deflated during their property search in Cyprus. During the episode, which aired on Tuesday night, Jean took couple Maxine and John to Cyprus in a bid to find their dream home with a budget of £150,000.
The couple from County Durham hoped to find a two-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home near the beach and amenities. They explained they had wiggle room with their budget, and for the "perfect" property, they could stretch to £180,000. First up on Jean's list was an apartment priced below their budget at £140,000. The property expert made a good first impression as the house hunters seemed to like it, although John quickly pointed out they weren't keen on moving to a complex but that he would keep an "open mind.".
"It seems a little dark," Maxine pointed out as soon as they stepped foot in the apartment. And while the couple tried to remain positive about the viewing and how spacious the apartment was, Maxine pointed out one major "deal breaker" that she just couldn't overlook.
Maxine told Jean from the balcony all she could see were the aircon units and water tanks, admitting, "It's not good, is it?" She later told her husband: "It is a deal breaker for me.". After rejecting Jean's first property, the expert tried to win over the house hunters with her second choice - a townhouse priced at £120,000.
