Hola Sábado! This time last week, A Place in the Sun Live was well underway at Manchester Central, and what a weekend it was. We met so many great prospective property hunters looking for their dream property in the sun. This week, figures released from A Place in the Sun revealed that there were 6,742 visitors, with Saturday bringing in the most visitors to an A Place in the Sun exhibition since before 2007…things are looking fantastic for the property market.
The Your Place in Spain stand was a hive of activity, as visitors took time to chat to us about what they were looking for, and take a look at the properties we had on show. We featured a snapshot of some of our recommendations and current hot properties from both the Southern and Northern Costa Blanca, Costa Calida, Murcia Golf resorts and Almeria.

It was also great to see the celebrity presenters from the show too, with Jonnie Irwin, Jasmine Harman, Amanda Lamb and Laura Hamilton all making appearances and being interviewed at ‘The Hub.’ They gave the crowds their expert advice and opinions on buying property in Spain and other overseas countries. It was great to see such a good reception from the audience, with questions being asked and even screen tests for the next series of A Place in the Sun! I wouldn’t mind taking part myself…

The Hub…all quiet before the doors opened.
The three days passed in a whirlwind, and it was a fantastic experience. Here at Your Place in Spain, we absolutely love A Place in the Sun exhibitions, and it is great news that there are two more this year, and Manchester is being booked in again for next year too.
Our feedback made it on to the A Place in the Sun newletter about the show
These exhibitions are a very enjoyable and informative experience for property hunters, there are seminars taking place all day with advice from property professionals that are great to listen to. It’s good to stroll from stand to stand, taking in advice and looking into locations and properties available.
The Hub was a hive of activity.
Another great bonus for us was that this exhibition was in our very lovely home city of Manchester, with so many clients living locally and eager to come and see us in our showroom. We’re looking forward to some great meetings, and helping many local clients realise the dream of owning a property in Spain.
As always, we carried with us our message of buying safely, and that house hunters should be aware of what property they want to view and what is available to them, prior to any trip. Arriving in Spain to view your ideal properties but then only being shown property that somebody wants to sell, is completely wrong, and must be avoided.
Furthermore, the importance of using an independent solicitor is both invaluable and a real comfort to customers as they begin their search for a property. When making a significant investment in a foreign country, it is essential to have the correct answers to all questions and queries.
