About Sun Sea and Selling Houses 2025

Since it first aired on our screens on Channel 4 in 2017, Sun Sea and Selling Houses has grown in popularity. The hit television show follows two British families who have taken the plunge and moved to Spain to open their own Spanish estate agents. Both companies are located on the Southern Costas of Spain and the show has inspired thousands to begin their own property search there.

At Movehappy, based on the Costa Blanca, we regularly hear clients talk about Sun, Sea and Selling Houses. It’s clear that the show has opened many eyes to the value for money in Spain, while also showcasing the beauty and lifestyle of the local area.

Here at Movehappy we offer a similar service to the agents featured in the show. We were even featured ourselves in the hit series A Place in the Sun: Summer Sun back in 2012. After understanding our clients’ requirements, we take them to view carefully selected properties and explore the local area, pointing out anything useful or of interest. We list new build properties in all the popular areas highlighted in Sun, Sea and Selling Houses, including Torrevieja, Villamartin, Los Alcázares, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, and many more.

The first agency featured in Sun Sea and Selling Houses is Spanish Property Choice, run by the Garner family and based in the coastal resort of Mojacar on the Costa Almeria. Established in 2007, the business has grown significantly and now showcases hundreds of properties.

The second company followed by Sun Sea and Selling Houses is Casas Manuel, operated by the Rodriguez family on the Costa Blanca, just minutes from our offices at Movehappy. Founded in 2005, Casas Manuel now has three offices and a dedicated aftersales support team.

Is there a new series of Sun Sea and Selling Houses in 2025?

Fans of the show have been eagerly waiting for updates — and the good news is, Series 8 of Sun, Sea and Selling Houses is on its way! After a successful seventh series, both the Garner and Rodriguez families are back for another set of inspiring and sun-soaked episodes.

When will series 8 of Sun Sea and Selling Houses be Aired?
