A family hoping to sell up and move to the other side of the planet are raffling(抽奖) their home and throwing in their BMW for good measure. Richard and India Taylor’s dreams of selling their house the traditional way before their move to Perth, Australia, but the pandemic hit and the property market paused. So they decided to raffle it off so that they could fly into the sunset with their two young sons. Tickets are going for £1 each, and if you win the £170,000 home in County Durham, you’ll also get their BMW X3.
Richard worked at construction firm Komatsu in Birtley, Tyne and Wear. He said, “We had an aim to move by the end of October but now that plan is in danger. We have had no joy and we have some friends in Yorkshire who raffled their home so we thought we’d give it a try.”
Richard said the raffle presents itself with the opportunity for his family to not only live out their own dream but also to help someone else achieve theirs. He added, “The house is completely mortgage-free and the car is finance free. All the legal fees will be paid on both sides. The raffle company does take a percentage of the money. It is so difficult to try to get on the property ladder so for £1, which is very cheap and is life-changing for someone.”
The couple is hoping to move to Australia later this year with the last day to buy tickets being November 7. Richard said, “We are hoping for tickets to sell quickly and then we can announce a winner as soon as possible.”
