If You Won £2m..

[Lee.]

If you had £2 million and had to buy a house anywhere in the world, which one would you buy?

Must be within budget :)

[CaudleHalbard]

I would actually buy more than one property. Rent one out and live in the other. :)

Probably stay in SE England, add that's where all my friends and relations live.

[Niall]

Orlando, Florida because Disney World and Universal Studios and beautiful weather. :love:

[Novo]

Somewhere in Eastern Europe, Minsk or Moscow

[Lee.]

Tsk.. I actually meant for you to actually find a house

[Lee.]

Omg.. This for me please! The views, the lake, the pool and the sunshine

[CaudleHalbard]

I'm actually perfectly happy with my current home and car.

I'd blow the money on high-living.... with Dexter by my side as an adviser!! :D

........sorry - that's not the answer you wanted was it? :p ;)

[Kate!]

Definitely somewhere sunny, preferably a beach house. I'll find an actual one later and post it.

That's gorgeous!

[Vicky.]

That's gorgeous!

Yes, I was looking for one I actually stayed in when we went to florida. We rented a place for a week because it was cheaper than getting a hotel or something. Was a 5 bed semidetatched with its own pool..and was bloody lovely, and they were only 300 grand to buy. I remember my dad being extremely tempted to buy one but he said they couldnt move there as apparently you cant move to america if you dont have a job lined up..

£19?? I'm going to buy it!! :amazed:

[Novo]

I have already been in touch with Olga about it

[CaudleHalbard]

Florida is a place you retire to. Very high proportion of people are 70+

[Lee.]

You could do this one of the rooms Andy..

[Lee.]

That's so cheap!! You couldn't even buy a flat here for that.

-signs up for French lessons-

[King Gizzard]

Something cheapish, detached, in the midlands area but in like a small village or something, quite big but not too big like a mansion

Then an apartment in London or New York to rent out as a holiday/business apartment and then use when I want

[Marc]

I think Canada.. or (bit oppostie) somewhere around the countryside in Spain/Italy or France.. but I think I would save my money by having a smaller property and travel around the world following the tennis :D

[Braden]

I would probably get a nice house in London and a trendy little flat in Miami.

[RichardG]

Definitely somewhere in Canada. I wouldn't want to live in a giant mansion though, and I wouldn't want to be too secluded from everywhere else. Probably somewhere like these:

I think they just sold this but I would go for something like that.

[GypsyGoth]

I've spent the last hour trying to figure out a place to buy, I haven't found anything suitable. Will check more later today, hopefully I'll get lucky.

[michael21]

i would give 1m to gg :love:

I like how it just being sold changes everything, damnit you missed out

[GypsyGoth]

I've already gotten 2million in this thread, I don't need your charity :hmph:

[MTVN]

Would probably buy a massive mansion and load of land somewhere really poor like Zimbabwe and just live like a King, until my estate gets overrun by angry locals anyway

[GypsyGoth]

Show us pics of this place Matt, you can't just make up properties, there are rules.

[michael21]

:laugh2:

[MTVN]

Hmm do I go for the lovely mansion (http://www.seeff.co.zw/index.php?option=com_estateagent&act=object&task=showEO&id=1911&limit=10&limitstart=0) with only 1 acre or do I go for the place with 19 acres (http://www.seeff.co.zw/index.php?option=com_estateagent&act=object&task=showEO&id=2481) but looks like it needs a lot of work

Alternatively if someone would like to do a joint investment we could club together for this place (http://www.seeff.co.zw/index.php?option=com_estateagent&act=object&task=showEO&id=2281) which has "28 acres of perfectly manicured lawns"

Would probably also want a bit of leftover cash for servants and guards as well mind

Decisions, decisions

[CaudleHalbard]

£2 million would buy you quite a nice flat in Mayfair - not top of the range though. ;)

Yep, that looks perfect. It reminds me of a house I fell in love with on the Norfolk Broads a few years ago.

[Kazanne]

I would buy this in The hamptons,Long Island NY

[CaudleHalbard]

Buying a large property is only the start of your expense though. Your income would have to be sufficient to maintain it.

Jobseekers allowance wouldn't do it. Lol! ;)

[Verbal]

2 million really would not buy a huge property in this day and age. In some parts it would buy you not much better than a glorified cupboard.

You might want to add a few more 0's to the 2 million first :joker:

Size doesn't really matter.. I'd like fantastic views, preferably of water, lots if sunshine and good outdoor space
