Typical hand wringers blaming brexit because they are wanting more than what it's worth, it's been for sale for ages, before the referendum was even mentioned. Dancers Hill house was for sale for £6m in 2013 through Statons Estate agency. An old (~2015) pdf here with the ivy removed - http://media.rightmove.co.uk/23k/22260/52517202/22...

A few bob could be spent to get it right, but it isn’t a bad starting point
3.5 acres, 5300 ft2, ok scenery

Did you miss it when it was on at c.1.8m earlier this summer with Humberts? The main partner in the York office had really let himself go and written a hilariously florid OTT description. It is a lovely part of the world and the new junction with the A64 and the Castle Howard road does massively improve your chances of surviving every car journey. 3.5 acres, 5300 ft2, ok scenery

POA.... How much do we think that'll be? £20m? I have no handle on that kind of thing.
Me neither but similar places on Sothebys are ~£15mThe Italian renaissance interior [i]is[/] a bit wild and would have to be toned down but thats just the style of the place. Wonder if you could build some kind of floor halfway across that boathouse and turn it into a garage, imagine having your cars on the top level with the speedboats bobbing in the water below
Herefordshire appears reasonably priced. Would benefit from a lick and a spit, but still, pleasant.

Getting the house as the prize requires 600k ticket sales (minimum) which is equal to £7.5m net of the £1 per ticket admin fee (which appears to go to the promoter/vendors). I assume this to cover a stamp tax bill??Dancers Hill House, North(ish) London. Six bedrooms and bathrooms, a cinema room, gym, a wine room, four acres grounds and a one and a half acre lake.
If 600k tickets aren’t sold then the vendors keep 25% of the ticket proceeds.

Posted that before - I think it's lovely. 5800sq ft, plus outbuildings. I know I should hand in my PH card, but for us that house is Just Too Damn Big. 3000sqft would be a lot less cleaning...https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prop...
There’s no VAT on games of chance but this is classed as a game of skill so as to not need a gaming license (it needs a hard enough question and the option to enter for free to classify).
I think the proceeds from games of skill might be VATable so there’s 20% to pay away to the Man.
I also think that in the event that the prize is cash then ‘input’ applies and VAT is just due on the net proceeds.
I’m a bit rusty but back during the credit crunch we spent hundreds of thousands establishing if we could set up a business based around the game of skills rules to sell distressed assets. Back then it failed on the back of legitimate payment gateways not being willing to accept the flow due to chargeback risk. Ie anyone who didn’t win was highly likely to then charge back their initial payment. The duration of the competition was important to try and negate this risk.

I like this place near me a lot, even without a garage.
Tinker’s Barn
It used to be owned by Darren Turner, the AML works driver and is very secluded at the moment - it’s close to the HS2 route though...

+1. Everything except the stripy bathroom is pretty much spot on IMHO. You can tell it's been in a family for a long time - it looks comfortable in its own skin, as it were (did that sound w
ky, but you know what I mean?)
Right amount of land, and it's got a stream, and it's a very attractive price.
Ruinous to run, of course

This seems all the same through out to me and it would put me off.

Yeah, the bathroom’s a bit iffy and strangely out of taste with the rest of the decor. Great way to spend your money in the initial purchase, and then forever more +1.
