A Place in the Sun: What Happened Next? (2024- )

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Laura Hamilton catches up with Janice on Spain's Costa Cálida, at her perfect place in the sun that she bought in 2014. Home to Europe's largest saline lagoon, the Costa Cálida is famous for its warm tranquil waters and is a golfer's paradise. The first apartment that Janice saw was almost perfect, but it was a semi-detached villa that wowed her, and she couldn't see herself anywhere else. Now, Laura's back to see what Janice has been up to and what changes she's made to the villa, including the addition of a swimming pool! After a girly dip in the pool, Janice takes Laura for a stroll down the beach with her new partner and dog. Meanwhile, Sara Damergi catches up with Felicity in Coimbra in Portugal, after she and her then-husband Richard bought a challenging project in 2014. Dating back to medieval times and loaded with history, Coimbra was Portugal's capital for over 100 years. The nearby glorious countryside is dotted with towns and villages brimming with bars and restaurants, as well as affordable renovation projects. Felicity and Richard's search got off to a wobbly start after a semi-renovated property exposed their differing views, before a farmhouse took their fancy, and they had an offer accepted on it. Now, Sara's back to see how they're getting on, and while they're no longer together, Felicity's living there full-time and excited for her future. Sara checks out the incredible changes they've made before soaking up some culture at a local festival.
