What is A Place in the Sun?

A multiplatform brand that began as a Channel 4 TV programme in 2000. Today, it encompasses a property search website with more than 100,000 global listings, live exhibitions, spinoff TV series and a regulated currency exchange service.

In each episode, British househunters view three to five properties abroad within their budget and receive practical advice on local buying processes and lifestyle considerations. The presenters help them weigh up their options, and viewers learn whether the couple makes an offer or continues the search.

Sobre nosotros

A Place in the Sun es la mayor marca de medios de comunicación inmobiliarios en el extranjero del Reino Unido y un nombre muy visible y de renombre. Comenzó como un programa de televisión, creado por Freeform Productions, que se emitió por primera vez en Channel 4 en el año 2000 y que desde entonces forma parte de la cultura televisiva popular. A Place in the Sun y su exitosa serie derivada A Place in the Sun: Home or Away? (Una place au soleil: chez soi ou ailleurs?) tratan sobre la compra en el extranjero y la apertura de un mundo de oportunidades para el público británico.

En 2004 se lanzó una revista con el mismo nombre y las ferias A Place in the Sun Live se celebran desde entonces dos veces al año: en Londres y Mánchester cada primavera, y en el NEC de Birmingham cada otoño.

A Place in the Sun se lanzó en internet en 2006 y actualmente ofrece más de 100.000 propiedades consultables para la venta, además de contenidos editoriales que incluyen valiosos consejos y guías de compra.

Otras dos series de televisión derivadas llegaron en 2012, con el estreno en nuestras pantallas de A Place in the Sun: Winter Sun y A Place in the Sun: Summer Sun. Los presentadores actuales son Jasmine Harman, Jonnie Irwin, Laura Hamilton, Scarlette Douglas, Danni Menzies y Ben Hillman.
