About Win Property

WinProperty is a brand new concept in property ownership. For as little as £15 you could be on your way to becoming the owner of a valuable house. All you need to do is choose which property you would like to own outright, buy a Win Property ticket and enter a simple spot the ball competition – and the next step could be collecting the keys to your own, mortgage-free house!

 

It really is that simple, with Win a Property there’s no catch. There are no chains, no fees and no complications – just the deeds to your house or land with you in a matter of weeks. So, if you’re skilful enough to select the location closest to where the ball should be on our sporting image, you’ll be declared the winner.

As outright owner of the property, you can do whatever you choose with it. You may want to give yourself an income for life, and rent the property out – supplementing your salary every month and keeping the security of a sound investment. Perhaps you’d rather sell the property and release its significant equity straight away – allowing you to pay off the mortgage on your existing home. Or you could simply start enjoying life more with the help a large lump sum to play with.

Whatever you would choose, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to get on or climb further up the property ladder!
