Ben got straight to the point as he attempted to help Paul and Marianne settle on a Spanish property in Mar Menor, Murcia.

The pair were looking to get their hands on a place with a minimum of two rooms and outdoor space to cater for their two children.

With a budget of £80,000, the couple dreamt of owning a property on a luxury golf resort.

It was a disappointing start, after Paul and Marianne fell in love with property number two in La Torre Golf and put in an offer - only for it to have already been snapped up.

So a lot was lying on their view of the last property in the same golf resort - where places were being bought up extremely quickly.

Ben told viewers he'd be "urging them to act fast" if they do like the property.

Presenting the apartment to the pair, Ben said: "It's just come on the market today, I've been trying to pull out all the stops to make this happen because I know how much you loved that second property - and it's cheaper, it's on the market for just over £77,500.

"Is it negotiable? It's hard to say because it's just come on [the market] today.

"I would say, if you like it don't hesitate, you need to put an offer in and secure it."

Paul and Marianne's delight was clear to see as they toured the bright and airy property with a terrace overlooking the pool and golf course.

And Ben could not wait to find out their thoughts as they completed the viewing.

"How was it?" he asked.

To which Marianne replied: "Much better than we expected - this one feels much more us."

Getting straight to the point, Ben said: "If I’m being really blunt - do you wanna buy it?”
