Expensive Repairs May Await Lucky Winner
Neighbors living near a £2.2 million mansion that is up for grabs in a prize draw are cautioning potential winners about the costly repairs that may await them. Located on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, the five-bedroom cottage has sparked concerns among locals about essential and expensive work that may need to be done on the property.
Dangerous Trees a Cause for Concern
Reports suggest that the new owners may have to deal with dangerous trees on the property, with residents of the village of Hennock warning about signs of ash dieback and the potential for trees to topple. Previous winners of prize draw homes from Omaze have also reportedly moved out of their multi-million-pound properties, citing concerns about the condition and stability of the homes.
Winner Free to Sell or Rent Out the Property
Omaze, the platform organizing the prize draw, has stated that winners are free to sell or rent out their prize homes. The current draw includes the £2.2 million Devon property, which also comes with £100,000 in cash. The estimated long-term monthly income from the property is around £3,000 per month.
Attention Needed for Falling Trees
According to a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous, the winner should be aware that the property has ash trees that are in desperate need of attention. Some of these trees are approximately 40 feet tall and may need to be taken down to prevent any accidents. Tree experts have suggested that the cost of removing the trees could range from £5,000 to £10,000.
A Draw Benefiting Macmillan Cancer Support
The prize draw is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support, with support from actor Larry Lamb, known for his roles in "EastEnders" and "Gavin And Stacey." Omaze has responded to the concerns raised by neighbors, stating that they will consult professionals to assess the trees and carry out any necessary work.
Previous Winners of Omaze Prize Draw Homes
One of the previous winners of an Omaze prize draw home, Glen Elmy, walked away from his new coastal property in north Devon within three days due to concerns about its stability. Omaze has previously organized draws that raised funds for charities such as the Teenage Cancer Trust, the British Heart Foundation, and the Prince's Trust.
