Saw something in the papers this week about a competition to win someone's house. Tickets cost £1. Can anyone remember anything about this? I can't find the web site.

Hi mieow - thanks for that, but it's a different competition, not for charity, and tickets are only £1.

I heard about it on the news willow2 but can't remember what the website was called something like bymyhouse.com??? Tickets were £1 so I thought about it but wonder about the expenses etc if you do win though why I should worry myself unnecessarily heaven only knows

sorry I meant buymyhouse.com but just tried it and neither spelling worked but it was something as straightforward as that let me know if you find it first

Hiya, just found it - www.houseforapound.com - does occur to me that it could be a marvellous sting, but only £1 so might be worth a go!

You can even sell your house on here. They reckon that by advertising it for £1 you will get more than the market value from competition entries. If not you don't have to go through with it. What do you reckon?
