A Place in the Sun fans were quick to hit social media with their reactions after a couple stuck firmly to a "lowball" offer, ultimately losing out on a Cyprus property featured on the Channel 4 programme. Presenter Jean Johansson was on a mission to assist Maxine and John from Durham in their quest for an idyllic home within a £150,000 budget – a full £50,000 less than the typical cost of their desired property type.
The pair were on the hunt for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday haven close to the beach and local facilities, hinting they had some leeway financially, willing to go up to £180,000 for the "perfect" place. By the episode's conclusion, they made a bid on a townhouse priced at £157,000, directing Jean to start the negotiations at £140,000. This move didn't sit well with viewers, especially when the couple upped their bid by just £4,000 following the rejection of their first offer. One viewer vented on Twitter: "17k lowball is taking the p*** #aplaceinthesun.".
As the offer increased, another commented: "Still 13k under offer - can't have wanted it that much with a 150k budget. Knew they weren't buying. #aplaceinthesun," reports the Express. "Owner actually said F*** RIGHT OFF #aplaceinthesun," chimed in another fan. A third shared a GIF of the animated character Muttley laughing hysterically, implying the seller's likely reaction.
