Clare and Paul accepted a counteroffer of £378,000 for a four-bedroom villa in the northern Costa Blanca on the episode of A Place In The Sun that returned to Channel 4 on Monday, November 2. The sellers included the car and all furniture in the sale.
Why it matters
The episode shows how a buyer working within a fixed budget can negotiate an overseas property purchase through a series of offers and counteroffers. Sellers in the area moved from an initial counter just above £386,000 to a final price of £378,000 with furniture included.
The accepted price of £378,000 sat £72,000 below the couple's £450,000 budget, after an initial offer of £360,000 and a counteroffer of £367,000 from the buyers. The villa has four bedrooms across three floors, a private saltwater pool and a balcony.

Market Landscape
British buyers have long used A Place In The Sun as a window into overseas property, and this episode follows that pattern of couples buying Spanish villas with a presenter guiding the negotiation. The negotiated sequence shows how a budget-led search can settle below an asking figure on the Costa Blanca.
Buyers considering an overseas home can see how a fixed budget and a staged offer strategy played out in a real negotiation. The episode illustrates that counteroffers can move a price materially before a deal is struck.
The takeaway
A set budget and a willingness to counter can move an overseas purchase toward an agreed price, as the couple's offers on the Costa Blanca villa show. Buyers should compare offers against the property's condition and what is included in the sale.
