Sir Ferrers-Vyvyan operates a timeshare scheme in Cornwall but not the type of timeshare that you would come across in Tenerife whilst out strolling. This timeshare scheme allows you to buy your own piece of history, but at a price. He is the 13th baronet of Trelowarren and owns the Grade I listed 1,000 acre estate there. The estate is so old that it gets recognition in the Doomsday book and its location is on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Ferrers, as he likes to be called, has had the estate in his family for over 600 years but after the Second World War the house and the woodland surrounding it fell into disrepair. Houses of this size, it has 20 bedrooms, need constant repair and lots of money lavished on them. As a result his parents set up a camp site in the grounds of the estate to try and boost how to sell your house quickly the income. Times have changed now and so Ferrers needed something more substantial to keep the manor from falling apart and came up with the novel timeshare idea.Ferrers calls his plan an equity-release scheme which he is very happy with. His estate was cash strapped but bricks and mortar rich and so this scheme allowed him the funds to keep it going. It works by offering people one weeks use on a 30 year lease and prices vary depending on which property on the estate you opt for and what time of year you choose. 2,500 will buy you a two bedroom house in January whilst 35,000 will buy you a five bedroom house with a large garden overlooking the valley in summertime. There are seven different properties dotted around the woods in the grounds, such as Georgian barns and pretty ivy-clad thatched cottages.
