January 2022 Episode Estepona
In January 2022, Mark and Loretta were helped by Craig Rowe to find their dream home in Estepona with a budget of £200,000. They landed on a stunning rooftop apartment in La Duquesa, a quaint seaside village just south of Estepona. The Spanish sun can easily be enjoyed from this property, with a spacious rooftop terrace as well as a communal pool outside. There’s also a balcony overlooking the surrounding area.

The couple were torn between this property and a two-bedroom apartment in Manilva. This one was valued at £200,855, and boasted stunning sea views from the covered terrace. Manilva itself is a small yet lovely village surrounded by mountains, with the beach only a short walk down the road. It means that it’s easy to cool off in the sea, or there’s a communal pool in the property that could be used. Inside the apartment the living, kitchen and dining area is open-plan and white, making it feel generously spacious. The master bedroom has a balcony, as well as an en-suite shower room. There’s another bedroom and shower room inside too.
Craig also found a property in Estepona itself, this being a three-bedroom apartment valued at £178,632. This property benefits from two balconies overlooking the unspoiled surrounding scenery, and there’s even a roof terrace to sit and enjoy the sun. The living and dining areas are open plan, with the kitchen being a separate room. Each of the bedrooms are roomy yet homely, and there’s a separate shower room and bathroom.

Jean Johansson helped Laura and Nick find their forever home in Estepona, putting their budget of £160,000 to good use. The property they fell in love with ended up being over their budget at £214,655, however it’s not hard to see why they chose it considering its impressive size and features.
