A Place In The Sun buyer breaks down in tears after making an offer on dream property
Married couple Rick, an engineer, and retired PA Inge, from West Sussex, featured on a previous episode of the Channel 4 show.
The pair hoped to find a place in western Cyprus and property expert Jean Johansson explained they planned 'to escape the long British winters and have the perfect holiday home'.
With a budget of £260,000 they wanted a detached villa with plenty of outdoor space so they could adopt cats.
After viewing several properties, Rick and Inge decided to put an offer on one which boasted sea views, a pool and three bedrooms.
'I think the outside space that comes with this property will absolutely wow Rick and Inge,' Jean gushed during the viewing.
Priced at £282,000, the home certainly did impress and at the end of the instalment the couple decided to put an offer in.
'You saved the best until last,' Inge commented.
'We'd like to make an offer on that house,' Rick confirmed and said they would like to put an offer in of £272,000.
'Okay, so you're going in £10,000 under the asking price,' Jean replied.
Rick explained the reasoning behind the offer and pointed out the property had been on the market for 12 months
Jean called up the estate agent and said: 'Good morning Wayne, it's Jean Johansson, I have some news. Rick and Inge would like to put an offer in on your property. the offer they would like to make is £272,000.'
While the offer was presented to the seller, the couple looked nervous as they waited.
Rick commented: 'I think its a life ambition coming true.'
The estate agent then called back and confirmed the offer had been accepted.
Both were ecstatic by the news and Rick appeared to wipe tears from his eyes as Inge comforted him.
Another buyer broke down in tears during a previous episode outside a stunning apartment in Italy.
Married couple textile designer Natasha and bathroom designer Tim, from Gloucestershire, wanted to buy a holiday home in the city of Lucca, Tuscany, for £130,000.
The pair enlisted help from Jasmine Harman and asked for two to three bedrooms with outdoor space, reasonably easy access and as central a location as possible.
The second property stood out to the couple and Natasha couldn't contain her emotions when she saw it.
Natasha and Tim were very impressed and couldn't believe it when they were told that the asking price was £103,000.
Tim joked: 'Right, sold.'

Peter Andre is labelled a 'hero' after clambering through a window to rescue son Theo, 8, from a locked toilet during family break in Cyprus
Peter Andre proved he's no flush-in-the pan on Wednesday after rescuing son Theo from a locked toilet. The Mysterious Girl singer is currently enjoying a summer break in Cyprus with his family, but he was forced to step in after Theo, eight, was caught short during a trip to a local animal sanctuary. The youngster found himself locked inside a set of public toilets at Camel Park, prompting Peter, 52, to take action by climbing through an open window at the rear of the outhouse. Holidaymakers cheered the pop star on as he clambered through to retrieve his son, before helping lower the child to the ground. But despite having no trouble forcing his way into the locked toilet, Peter - dressed in beach shorts and a pair of flip flops - needed help of his own after struggling to climb back through the narrow window after rescuing Theo. 'Saved the day, and I'm still embarrassed,' the red-faced singer later admitted. In a separate video, shared with Instagram followers, Theo - Peter's son with second wife Emily MacDonagh - was seen complaining about the heat inside the unventilated toilet as his father peered through the window. The incident took place as Peter and his children paid a visit to Mazotos and the largest camel park in Europe, described on its Instagram platform as the 'place to visit for a different day out.' The Australian singer is also taking a rather different approach to music after ditching his mainstream brand of pop in favour of reggae, a decision that could potentially risk further controversy after his recent foray into acting. Earlier this year, Peter faced inevitable backlash for his starring role in Jafaican, a new film in which he plays a fraudster charged with mastering Jamaican culture in order to commit a major fraud on the Caribbean island. The problematic premise demanded his character wear fake dreadlocks and adopt a somewhat shaky Jamaican accent while attempting to pass himself off as black, a hard sell for outraged viewers. Peter has since brushed aside the controversy by returning to music, and his latest reggae infused offering appears to be inspired by his experiences on set. Sharing a teaser with Instagram followers on Monday, the father-of-five can be seen singing wistful lyrics about his 'island girl' while stripped to waist. In one choice verse, he croons: 'Said I wanna girl, wanna girl, wanna girl from the island. We pull another drink and move till the sun's up.' Peter faced inevitable backlash for his starring role in Jafaican, a new film in which he plays a fraudster charged with mastering Jamaican culture in order to commit a major fraud Captioning his post, Peter confirmed there was even more where that came from, adding: 'If summer was a song, this would be it. Heatwave incoming… new album dropping soon.' In May, the singer defended his decision to star in Jafaican - which has been described as 'profoundly disrespectful' - by recalling the racial abuse he experienced as a child growing up in Australia. The singer was born in London to Greek-Cypriot parents Savaas and Thea Andre before the family emigrated to Sydney on Australia's east coast when he was six. Peter said he was once tied to a fence by blue-eyed, blonde-haired school-children who 'threw stones at his head because of his darker skin tone'. He told The Sun: 'I remember the bullying and the racism we suffered as kids in Australia and how tough that was. 'But it gave me a deep understanding of what's truly offensive and what's not. If someone dressed up with a curly wig and a big nose, doing a Greek accent, I'd probably laugh – it depends on the intention. 'But if someone said "I hate you Greeks" or made hateful comments about our skin, that's where the line is. That's racism.'
