Would you keep the house in the omaze draw on telly

"Sell - one thing winning the house but another to keep up with its running costs"
Exactly my thoughts. The houses look lovely but heating the darn things unless solar is already installed, maintenance etc would be way out of my budget. Then there's the cleaning of the place  .
So I think I'd live in it for one summer then sell it |

just live in one room and use kitchen and bathroom that surely wouldn't take you over budget they throw in the rates for the first 10 years  |

"I'd stay in there for a nice Summer holiday, then get shot of it pronto! Would be too much upkeep to live in there permanently"
I'd do this too. Might also be of benefit to have lived there briefly when attempting to market the house for sale. |

Sell but aren’t these houses difficult to sell in the first place which is why they’re on Omaze? They’re always in London or far away from where I’d want to live and too grand. Need to see some more modest houses. |

As others have said about the properties being defective in some why hence them being given away. Personally i’d rent it out as a holiday let or short term lease property then either live in it or attempt to sell it. Or use it for sex parties  |

There was one near to us . Had a nosey from outside. Very grand but looked out of place .  |

I'd sell, mainly because they're not in places I want to live.
I mean the Lake District one would have been incredibly tempting, but, much as I love going up there, I couldn't relocate there permanently, and it wouldn't seem worth it to keep a place worth that much money to visit just a couple of times a year |

i hear many of those house's have issue's, i may try to put it out for short lets and make money from it. if that wasn't going too well I'd sell and buy something better in Scotland at half the value |

They certainly aren’t being given away, the ticket sales pay for the house and all other prizes, as well as a nice tidy profit.
It’s a business after all. They make more from raffling the house than they would selling it. |

Well... it's a long way away from where we work, so not ideal.
It's something we've discussed when the adverts have come on, and I think that the best option would be to rent it out. Either as a holiday let or long term. That way you'd get an additional income from it and still have the option to sell later.
