Single mum raffles off spacious apartment in Bucks town near Milton Keynes for the price of a cup of coffee

Wendy Grace and her two children have outgrown the apartment, which is in Aylesbury, and dream of moving to a bigger house with a garden.

"I have been ready to move onto a bigger home for some time and lockdown has made me more determined to do so. My two children and I are currently working, learning, playing, cooking and dining in one living space and it's taking its toll," she said.

But Wendy, who wants to move closer to her twin sister for support, says she felt trapped by the poor Covid economy and her situation of needing to move on with a single income.

Home raffles are fast becoming a popular way to sell properties in uncertain times. Many have been successful in doing so but this will be the first one in Bucks.

If not enough tickets are sold, a cash prize will still be won for the amount of 75 per cent of the revenue raised. The remainder goes to Raffall, the platform hosting the draw, and Wendy gains nothing but keeps the property.

Raffall say tickets are selling fast though and the prize is already guaranteed to be more than £20,000.

You can buy a £2.50 at wininbucks.co.uk . The prize will be drawn by April 3 this year or when all tickets have been sold - whichever comes first.

The prize includes the solicitors fees and stamp duty (up to 2 per cent if applicable at the time). The apartment is a leasehold property (119 years) with one year's annual service fees and ground rent included in the prize. The property is also covered by the NHBC warranty.

"I am so driven knowing that this is going to change someone's life," said Wendy. The winner could live in it mortgage free, rent it out or sell it on!"

You can follow progress on social media at Facebook.com/prizehomebucks or on Instagram @prizehomebucks, where Wendy gives regular updates, opportunities to win free tickets and videos.

Wendy said: "By entering, you are also helping me and my children to move on to our next chapter closer to my support network (important as a single mum) so please do share this with your friends and family and spread the word."
