Casares, Spain Ben Hillman

Ben Hillman is helping Gary and Jane find their dream holiday home near the beautiful whitewashed town of Casares on Spain’s Costa Del Sol. With their first grandchild on the way, the sporty couple can’t wait to buy a property for all four generations of their family to enjoy, which also has enough storage for all their watersport equipment. They’ve given Ben a budget of £150,000 to find them the perfect one, and he’s lined up five superb options, but will Gary and Jane love any enough to surf in with an offer?
