He’s assisted his parents, several friends and a business colleague in searching for, negotiating and then transacting property purchases. 

 

Craig said, “I’m so delighted to become part of the ‘A Place in the Sun’ presenter team! Having loved travel since my teens and then nurturing a passion for property since buying my first flat in London 20 years ago, it's my dream job!  As a real ‘people person’ I’m loving finding dream homes for my house hunters and get such a buzz the moment it all comes together and they can start their new lives in the sun.

 

Craig’s first assignment is to travel to the beautiful coastal town of Denia in Spain to help newlyweds Alison and Gabriel find their dream holiday home.  

 

For the rest of the team, Jasmine, Leah Jean, Lee, Danni, Laura, Ben and Scarlette, will jet off to Cyprus, Portugal, Crete, The Canary Islands and Italy.
