Description

This week on The Utterly Indispensable Podcast for Estate Agents, I sit down with Jean-Pierre and his husband Manuel—the creative duo behind Channel 4’s hit property series A Place in the Sun. They share what it was really like to bring one of the UK’s most-loved property shows to life, lifting the curtain on the challenges, surprises, and stories from behind the camera.


But their journey didn’t stop there. Today, they run Maison Hunt, a bespoke property-finding service helping clients navigate London’s rental and buying markets with care, clarity, and results. From scouting homes across Europe for TV to guiding international relocations into the heart of London, Jean-Pierre’s career has always been about more than bricks and mortar—it’s about matching people with places that truly feel like home.


Expect insights into the making of property television, the evolution into high-level property search, and what it takes to turn vision into reality for clients in one of the world’s most competitive housing markets.
