Raffling your house

Legacy_user

Has anyone successfully raffled off their property or does anyone know how it is done? I recently read stories online about a couple who are currently doing so in Canterbury via a website they have set up (https://www.winahouseforafiver.co.uk) and it got me thinking. You simply have to answer a multiple-choice question and then pay £5 to enter.

We have been trying to sell our house since April and have had real problems with all the estate agents we have encountered so are looking for a solution that does not involve them. This would prevent having to pay them fees too which is a bonus. So we wondered if anyone had any tips, suggestions or warnings about offloading your home in this way... or any knowledge of the legal implications. All replies gratefully received.

If you go to
http://www.1002win.com/
there is a spot the ball contest to win someone's house.
If you go to the forums at Loquax, the seller is explaining how he is going about it.
The discussion gets pretty heated, but is interesting to check out the ins and outs.
