Jasmine Harman has spent two decades assisting British families in finding their ideal second home on ‘A Place In The Sun.’ Presently, Jasmine and her husband Jon are realizing their own vision of ‘Jasmine’s Renovation In The Sun,’ with their journey being documented in a new 15-episode series.
Jasmine Harman:
“Moving abroad has been completely different to what I expected and dreamed of. I never wanted to take on a renovation project but somehow, we fell in love with this house. I’ve seen it so many times with my own house hunters – sometimes it just feels right.”
Together with their two young children, the family are taking the plunge to purchase and renovate a rundown Spanish Villa.
Over the course of the year, the series will follow the highs and lows of the family’s renovation project as they attempt to turn the dilapidated villa into their perfect family home. Jasmine and Jon will learn from the locals, visiting other renovated Spanish properties for inspiration and advice.
Jasmine Harman:
“Moving house can be stressful at the best of times. But, changing country renovating a property, raising our family – all the while having a TV crew following you around, is next level! All the same, we feel like this is the best move for our family and we’re so excited to get started.”
Planning to do a lot of the building and renovation work themselves, they will also have to master new skills such as plastering and tiling, as well as navigating local bureaucracy and a different pace of life.
The series will provide a glimpse into the efforts required to realise their dream as they balance the challenges of renovating, managing demanding jobs, raising young children, forging friendships, and establishing a life in Spain.
Channel 4’s Director of Commissioning, Nations and Regions, Jo Street:
“A Place In The Sun has followed the dreams of hundreds of Brits since it launched on Channel 4 in 2000. We are delighted to be following Jasmine’s own journey in this brand new spin off series from Freeform Productions.”
