They love this part of southern Spain so much that they’ve already moved out and are currently renting, but can’t wait to find their own new forever home, where they can settle down and their family can also come and visit. They’ve given Leah a budget of £120,000 to find them a 2-bedroom property near the beach with some outside space, and Leah has 5 fantastic options lined up to show them, but will any meet their idea of perfection and result in an offer?
