Furnished flat is top prize in fundraiser with a difference

A FURNISHED two-bedroom flat is the top prize in Guernsey's first 'property lottery'.

Sarnia Estate Agents is behind the idea, which is expected to raise around £135,000 to £140,000 for the Guernsey Cheshire Home.

The top prize is in a brand new development, Herald Court, in Victoria Road, St Peter Port, and will include all legal fees.

'We wanted to come up with a ground-breaking first for the Guernsey property market, while still raising a lot of money for an important charity,' Sarnia Estate Agents managing director Alex Ford said.

There are only 3,000 tickets available, priced at £150 each, and Mr Ford said he expected them to sell fast.

The winning ticket will be picked on 13 April.
