About us

Our Web site is run to offer Competition’s where our entrant’s can win a choice of any home in a location that suits them best or a substantial cash alternative.

Our Web site offers advertising space both on the site and on our monthly wall planner calendars mainly geared towards the construction industry. We are also gathering details of labour available a facility we intend to provide to builders who offer properties to us for our competitions.

All of our customers and advertisers and indeed anyone who registers their work details with us will be offered the option of entering our free promotional draw.

Our competition idea came from a conversation about the difficulty in getting a mortgage in today’s financial climate and the pressure of trying to put together a deposit along with all the associated costs.

Given that there is a plentiful supply of absolute top quality houses in both standard of build and finish located all over the country and builders willing to do everything in their power to help the prospective purchaser.

Also the ever growing amount of hopeful house buyers struggling to get a foot hold on the housing ladder, the price of a house is irrelevant if you can’t get the money to buy it. Our plan is to accommodate peoples love of taking a chance for a relatively small purchase, The PRIZE is a MORTAGAGE- FREE home bought and paid for completely. Our company will pay the developer the full market value of any property chosen by our winning customer, making room for another house to be built. The more houses that are won the more successful and popular our company’s competition will become.

Pickahouse was set up as a competition to offer a selection of properties in a wide variety of locations, to comply with regulations all such competitions must have a skill to play element which will eliminate a significant number of people who wish to enter and also prevent a significant number of entrants from winning, So the winner is not decided wholly by chance. This can be readily achieved, unfortunately no one has quantified what constitutes a ‘significant number’ and this has led to the outcome of similar competitions being delayed indefinitely.

To add to what we have said earlier, At Pickahouse we are constantly trying to improve and amend our web site and have no issue with complying with the regulations of the Gambling Commission whatsoever in our business and as such do not want to have any possibility of having to postpone or cancel any draw. It would appear from our research that individuals who represent no one other than their own interests are creating difficulties and delays to people running similar competitions to what we were proposing, but since our competition is an 'optional to enter CUSTOMERS competition' these people will have no possibility of interfering.
