This includes flights, transfers, accommodation and all the costs in the location so it is a high amount for a marketing budget.
Is this good for the buyer, is it a chance to have a free, short holiday and visit the properties OR is it a pressure of buying the property?
Do the buyers feel that they become indepted to the agent/developer so at least they say ''we will think of one them when we go back to our home''?
Is it just a white lie?
Thanks for all thoughts.

All to do with high pressure sales in my opinion - Think the latest way that agents and developers are using is "pay back the cost of inspection trips if you buy" normally there will be strings attached i.e max of 2 people and Max of £500 per person.
This is usally split between the agent and developer and if agent is lucky the developer will pay it all without cutting into agents commission.
The old saying "No such thing as a free lunch" would be in my mind if I say a free offer.
