Have you heard about one West Kirby family's novel idea of beating the slowing housing market? It was reported recently in the local press that the Lipsey family - battling loss in value on their 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom home to the tune 0f £6,000 a month - are selling their house by way of a £25-a-ticket raffle after deciding to downsize. There are 27,600 tickets up for grab, closing on Valentine's Day 2009. So if you're interested in either
going mortgage-free or grabbing a beautiful home for a bargain then this may be just the thing. You can find more info on the house at www.havemyhouse.co.uk.
