Laura Hamilton faces surprise from buyers in Corfu home search

On a recent episode of A Place in the Sun, Laura Hamilton assisted newlyweds Lisa and Wayne in their search for a holiday home in Corfu. Their first viewing in Ipsos, despite being near the beach, did not meet their expectations. Lisa expressed concerns about the area's younger crowd, which she had not mentioned earlier, leading to Laura's surprise. The couple found the kitchen and living space disappointing, with Wayne stating it was 'a little bit disappointing in this area.' Laura reminded them of the budget constraints, noting that the property was priced under £84,000, significantly lower than their budget. Despite the outdoor area being appealing, Lisa and Wayne decided it was not suitable for them, indicating a clear preference for a different type of property. They ruled out the first viewing and continued their search. The couple's luck changed when they viewed a detached house in Acharavi, which they found impressive. Lisa was particularly taken with the outside terrace, and the couple felt it was a better fit for their needs. They decided to make an offer of £145,000, which was below the asking price of £153,000. Fortunately for Lisa and Wayne, their offer was accepted immediately, marking a successful conclusion to their property search. This experience highlights the challenges and surprises that can arise during the home-buying process, especially when expectations and reality do not align.
