The Ireland competitions keep coming on Raffall and yet again we're back in the Sligo area with Win West Coast Home. They are looking to giveaway a four bedroom semi-detached home. It's located on the world famous Wild Atlantic Way and is close to the seaside resorts of Strandhill and Rosses Point. No valuation is provided by the owner and we've been unable to find a similar property to compare prices. Therefore we've made an estimate based on 4 bedroom semi properties that are on sale. We expect that we may have under estimated.
About The Property
The property is a four bedroom semi-detached, one with en-suite and there's three bathrooms. There's also a kitchen and dining room as well living area. The home which is located in a cul-de-sac has it's own private rear garden and off street parking. The Raffall page has a video and a few photos but not that many of the property and the rooms. Surprisingly the same applies to the social media accounts but there's a few at www.winwestcoasthome.com. Legal fees and taxes will be covered by the owner and these are mentioned in the text. In addition the owner will thrown in an extra €10,000.
How To Enter The Competition
To enter the raffle you need to be registered with Raffall. This can be done via Facebook or email login. Once at the house raffle page it's a case of answering a question and purchasing tickets. The question pops up in a window which we found disappeared very quickly. Tickets cost £20 and there's no limit to the number you can purchase. You can purchase online using debit cards. A donation of 5% will be made to Pieta. Pieta provides essential services to people who are in suicidal distress and bereaved families.
30,000 Ticket Sales
The promoter hopes to sell 30,000 tickets (total revenue £600,000) by the end of December 2021 in order to conclude the draw. If insufficient tickets are sold then the winners will receive a share of the compensation amounting to 75% of all ticket sales. All compensation payments are guaranteed and paid directly by Raffall Limited. This is a little bit different to house competitions run by individuals and should offer more assurance to entrants.
Our Verdict
This competition launched in May and somehow escaped our listing process - we thought we already had it. Since the competition launched the host is being active on social media and other media which is good to see. With this kind of coverage you'd anticipate that ticket sales should be ticking along after two months. Given how well Irish properties tend to do we'd expect to see another property winner but if not then a decent cash prize when the competition ends in December (or earlier).
