Our A Place in the Sun Live exhibition returned to Manchester Central this weekend to help house hunters in the North-West take the next step towards finding and buying a place in the sun of their own.
Over three days we welcomed more than 5,300 property enthusiasts through the doors, and they had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of property experts from around the world. Each house hunter had a different budget, ideal location and property type, but they all had one thing in common - they'd been dreaming of finding their very own place in the sun, and had come along to make that dream a reality!
There were more than 70 exhibitors from around the world in attendance, including estate agents, lawyers, financial advisers and currency experts from Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey, Cyprus the USA and more. And our packed seminar schedule taking place across three stages, the Hub, the Seminar Theatre and the French Village, provided visitors with advice on how and what to buy, as well as top tips for navigating the buying process.
We were also joined by A Place in the Sun presenters Jasmine Harman, Laura Hamilton, and Lee Juggurnauth. They were on hand to meet and greet our attendees, take selfies, and offer property advice both on and off the main stage.
Also in attendance were Erica and Ian, who appeared on the A Place in the Sun TV show with Lee Juggurnauth. They took to the stage alongside Lee to share their buying experience of buying an apartment in Fuerteventura. They shared behind the scenes secrets from filming their episode, and told our audience their first-hand experience of buying a property overseas.
Our production crew were conducting screen tests for A Place in the Sun throughout the weekend as well, and we can't wait to see some of those couples on our screens in the future - perhaps they'll be back next year to share their success stories with us on stage too!
If you're in search of property advice and want the opportunity to kick-start your search and meet the experts face-to-face, make sure you come along to an A Place in the Sun Live exhibition this year. Next up we're in London at the ExCel 3rd -5th May!
