Cookstown natives Conor and Kate Devine are driving home the Christmas Spirit with their new build, four bedroom property, up for grabs for the modest sum of £100!

Conor and Kate are currently ‘selling’ their home in an online prize competition, ‘Northern Ireland’s £100 Home.’

Competition participants log onto Conor and Kate’s website www.yournewhomeni.com, answer a question, purchase a £100 ticket and are entered into a prize draw to win the luxurious property at Carmavy Road, Co. Antrim. (*Terms and Conditions apply). 

The desirable detached property is located within commuting distance of Belfast, in one of Northern Ireland’s most sought after locations and sits on c.0.75 acres surrounded by idyllic landscape. The property’s value is in the region of £550k, based on valuations and sales of similar properties in the immediate vicinity. 

The enviable property could potentially be one lucky winner’s to jingle all the way throughout the new year for the meager sum of £100. 

Kate says;

‘Our objective is to dispose of our home enabling us to achieve its market value whilst offering one lucky winner the opportunity to own a fantastic property, mortgage free.’ 

Conor, a BSc Hons Estate Management graduate, had been mulling over the project for a number of months;    

‘We believe that in this current market this is great way of disposing of our home, and there is no catch. Basically you enter the competition, answer the question and if correct, when the winning ticket is drawn, we get the full value of our home and one lucky person will gain a fantastic prize for £100. The residential market is very difficult at present and mortgages are hard to come by, so we feel this works for both ourselves and the new owner. Why not purchase a ticket to win a dream home for a loved one this Christmas?’

So what’s the catch and why should you enter?

There is no catch. The lucky winner gains an outstanding property prize worth in the region of £550,000 exclusive – Conor and Kate get the market value for their home.  The housing market is very erratic at present and most people are finding that it is quite difficult to sell their house, so in this instance you not only have the chance to win a fantastic home but you also do not have to worry about looking for a mortgage – all for £100!

What happens if they don’t reach the 6,500 ticket sales?

When will the winner be announced and actually take possession of the house?
