    Have just seen tonight's programme - the couple chose the Sequoia model on Calabay Parc. It looked wonderful - we must have good taste! Any views on this as a marketing opportunity. Would potential renters be interested to know that your property featured on ITV's I Want that House and was the one actually chosen?

    The other night, for what seems to be the first time ever, the chap showing a couple round
    told them the average monthly running costs could be upto £500, now thats a first as they
    normally seem to go on about how much money they could make

    It makes me think when I look at the prices...that I got a good deal paying ninety thousand pounds for my 4 beds/3 baths....the prices seems very high...even when you take into account the extras like a pool...

    To all those who can't get ITV, tonight's episode comes from Sarasota, looking at properties at around £250k. Again, the houses are lovely but I could do without the Agent who thinks he's a member of the Tour Guide Militia[msnsmile2]! "Go Through...., Come Here......, Turn Around...., Look Up......" I'm sure he's a lovely chap but puuuurlease.[msnwink]

    Kind regards

    You've made my day too! I paid that for my 4 bed/3 bath with pool and furniture!! So, I did okay by the prices they are showing on the show I guess.

    Beverley, Thanks for that, i will go pick my plot now
    I have to say, given what i have read on this forum the thought of winning a villa frightens me to death, the costs involved in just keeping it running without a mortgage could soon get you into difficulties without rental income.

    Do you have to pay USA gains Tax...?
    At one time if you won a house in the USA...you end up paying so much tax on it you had to sell up anyway........I don't know if its still like that......or if you would have to pay tax on it if you live outside the USA.....

    Chrizzy,

    One would hope not. I think if they were giving you a house as a prize from a reputable TV Company, that all costs for ownership would be covered. However, it is a good point. Can you imagine......winning and then being asked for thousands of dollars[V][V]
