Winner selection:
The first two (2) correct entries drawn at random from all eligible entries will each be the winner of the prize, subject to eligibility and compliance with all applicable terms and conditions.
Prize:
The prize is payment of the winner’s mortgage or rent on their main UK residence for one (1) year from the date of winner confirmation up to the value of £20,000 (twenty thousand pounds) (“the mortgage payments and/or rent payments”), subject to the following terms and conditions:
Entrants must have an existing mortgage in accordance with a valid written mortgage agreement in respect of their main residence located in the United Kingdom or be paying rent in accordance with a valid written tenancy agreement in respect of a property located in the United Kingdom, and have made all payments due at the time of entering the competition. For The Promoter will not pay any mortgage arrears or unpaid rent existing at the time of entering into the competition.
The winner’s payment to be paid by the Promoter will be equivalent to 12 (twelve) monthly payments calculated by reference to the current monthly payment being paid by the winner, and will include the following elements:
a) repayments of the capital sum; and/or
b) interest charges on the mortgage loan; and/or
c) payment of premiums due in respect of an endowment or similar insurance policy directly linked to the mortgage; or
d) the monthly rent payment as specified in the winner’s tenancy agreement. Where payments are weekly, the Promoter will make an appropriate re-calculation.
Payments will be calculated by the Promoter based on the winner’s existing monthly payments at the time of entry to the competition. In the event that the winner’s monthly payments increase at any time, subject to the Promoter’s discretion, the Promoter shall have no obligation to make any additional payments to cover any such increase. The Promoter’s decision is final. The mortgage payments and/or rent payments must be for the winner’s main UK residence.
The Promoter shall require documentary evidence of any such mortgage or rent existing payments e.g. mortgage statements, bank statements, rent books, etc. In the event that the winner is unable to provide the Promoter with such evidence to the Promoter’s satisfaction, the Promoter shall be entitled to disqualify the winner from winning the mortgage payment element of the prize. In the event that the winner’s mortgage or rent payments are not as described above (e.g. a current account mortgage such as a ‘Virgin One’), or if the winner’s mortgage or rental arrangements are not clearly identifiable from a mortgage agreement or tenancy agreement, then the Promoter shall decide in its sole discretion the amount to be paid to the winner based on any other evidence of mortgage or rent payments which can be given by the winner.
In the event that the winner disagrees with the Promoter’s decision as to the amount to be paid by the Promoter the dispute shall be referred (at the Promoter’s cost) to an independent financial advisor, to be appointed by the Promoter, who shall decide upon the dispute and whose decision shall be final and binding upon the Promoter and the competition winner.
Where the winner has a joint mortgage and/or rent, the Promoter will pay an amount calculated upon the full amount of the monthly payment due, and not just the winner’s share. In the event that the winner’s monthly payments increase at any time, the Promoter shall have no obligation to make any additional payments to cover any such increase.
For the avoidance of doubt, the prize excludes any associated costs and expenses which may be incurred by the winner or which are related to the winner’s mortgage or rent. The mortgage payments and/or rent payments will be paid by cheque made out in the name of the winner only. Failure to provide an address for delivery may result in forfeiture of the mortgage payments and/or rent payments. Other restrictions may apply.
