It may be "free" but be ready for the hard sell from McCarthy Stone sharks

Well I think that goes without saying- if there's no such thing as a free lunch there won't be a free weekend (or whatever!!) You may , of course have no intention of buying........just go for the look see. I just posted what I found!

I had a look at the one in Carbis Bay St Ives and was horrified at the price. I had a look on Rightmove and was even more horrified at similar properties, need a lottery win!

According to their T & C you must have one guided tour of the complex during the 2 days. Other than that you presumably are free to do whatever you wish.

What concerns me most is the likelihood of being contacted/swamped afterwards.

They must know people will take them up on the offer without the slightest intention of buying!

I had a look at the prices. I'd expect a country mansion - well, at least a country cottage - for those sort of prices.

You don't have to part-exchange your house, you have the option of selling on the open market.
