I remember seeing these McCarthy people on Watchdog for some reason, maybe the massive service charges or people not being able to sell their gaffs.

My father-in-law lives in a McCarthy Stone property in Scotland. The service charge is very reasonable for the services it includes:- property maintenance, building insurance, gardening, laundry room, emergency care alarm system and use of all the heated public areas, property manager, guest ensuite bedroom (access to guest bedroom in all other McCarthy Stone properties in UK for about £20 a night) etc all this for about £100/month. The apartments sell very quickly.

Although that doesn't necessarily mean the winner could not also choose to sell it. It could be that they're assuming the winner will want it for themselves for now, or to lease it until they're ready to live there. I mean, it doesn't actually say the winner is not allowed to sell it on.

Floodgates opened - let battle commence
