Home buyer given the best of both worlds with offer of French holiday home

A property in rural Perthshire has gone on the market with an unusual buyer incentive.

While many sellers include fixtures and fittings in a bid to tempt prospective buyers into purchasing their home, the home in St Martins comes with three years of free holidays in France.

Burn Den owners David and Lorna Fulton also own a property at La Roque-Gageac in the Dordogne and the buyer of the Scottish house will be able to holiday in south west France for a week annually.

While Burn Den overlooks a small waterway at the edge of the property, which is home to otters, dippers and deer, the French house enjoys views of the Dordogne River.

The property comes with three years of free holidays in La Roque-Gageac.

Gary Robertson, area director at Clyde property, which is marketing Burn Den, said: “I think it is a fantastic incentive that the clients have offered to any would be purchasers.

“It is very different from the usual cashback incentives or offers to pay LBTT (Land and Buildings Transaction Tax) which I think might just appeal to someone looking for the best of both worlds.

“The higher end of the market across the area can be a bit sluggish so the owners wanted to come up with a creative way of making their property stand out from others.

“The house in St. Martins is laden with charm and a high degree of privacy with the efficiency and benefits of a modern home whilst the property in France is located in what is regarded as one of the most picturesque areas in the country.

“The Scottish property was built and meticulously designed by the owners 16 years ago and is located just five miles from the centre of Perth. It’s an attractive proposition in itself but even more so when you throw free holidays in France into the bargain.”

Burn Den itself boasts six bedrooms, and is on the market for offers in the region of £475,000.
