When an interested buyer struggled to qualify for a mortgage, Jennifer and David Matthews decided not to sell it via conventional channels and raffle it off instead
A couple from Lancashire are raffling off their home for £1 a ticket to help buyers who are struggling to get mortgage.
Jennifer, from Skelmersdale, told the ECHO: "I didn't want to keep it for myself, I wanted to sell it. I put it on the market and two separate people came around and wanted to buy it.""I said 'yes I'll give you the asking price'. They went to get a mortgage and the application failed. I felt really mean on them. I thought 'what can I do? I'll raffle it off and let someone win it for £1.' It is life-changing.
Jennifer, 51, has sold more than 10,000 tickets in the raffle so far, with each ticket priced at £1 each. It's not the first time Jennifer and David have raffled off a property. Jennifer said: "The raffling off of my five bedroom house was a success. However, I had to come off social media because we got death threats.Despite the difficulties Jennifer and her husband faced when raffling off her first home, they have decided to raffle off another property to help others get on the property market. Jennifer recently renovated the three bedroom house which has a new kitchen, bathroom, carpets and flooring throughout.
