In September 2008 a Devon Estate worth £1million became the first win a house competition to ever successfully reach completion. Since then more competitions have appeared as an alternative for people trying to sell their homes. Loquax has therefore created the "win a house watch"! The list below shows the ticket price and number of tickets sold.

Should You Enter? We've put these competitions on Loquax to show the current array of win a house competitions, what's on offer and ticket sales. Few are close to selling their ticket quotas and that is a useful guide to whether you should enter at the moment. If a site doesn't show many (or any) ticket sales then we think they should be avoided, at least until sales start to pick up.
Please note we are not paid to list these competitions and information is provided for reference only.
