Couple raffle home to beat dire market

A COUPLE are selling their £600,000 home in a raffle due to the “disastrous” housing market with tickets costing just £2.

Aily Chalmers, 32, and her husband Nathan, 35, want to be closer to family in Hampshire.

They began the process of putting the four-bed detached home near Aylesbury Vale, Bucks, on the market but were instantly put off.

An estate agent said they would have to cut the price and likely wait at least 18 months to make a sale as the property market is “awful”.
