As of 15 November 2026, we're tracking 3 live house competitions; the best Value Ratio is 2.50 against a market median of 3.50, and the shortest odds are 1 in 99,999. Top of the table right now: WIN A BRAND-NEW 3-BEDROOM HOUSE PLUS £10,000 CASH or £200,000 Cash from Kilted Competitions.

A house draw can cost 19p or £10 to enter, and the ticket price tells you almost nothing about your chances. What matters is how many tickets can be sold. We rank every live UK house competition we track by Value Ratio (lower is better) and show the maximum odds on each, so you can see which draw gives you the most chance for your money.

Capped and uncapped draws are different bets

Most operators on this page cap the number of tickets, so the worst-case odds are known before you enter. A draw capped at 599,999 tickets can never be worse than 1 in 599,999 per ticket. Omaze, the largest house-draw brand in the UK, does not cap entries, so its odds are only known once the draw has closed. We explain how to estimate them in Omaze house draw odds explained.

Check what happens if the tickets do not sell

Some house draws only award the house if a minimum number of tickets is sold, and pay a share of ticket revenue as a cash prize if not. Others guarantee the house or its cash alternative regardless. This is set out in each operator's terms, and it changes what you are actually entering for. Read it before you buy.

The cash alternative is the real prize value

Nearly every house draw offers cash instead of the property, usually well below the headline valuation. We rank against the cash figure where one is published, because that is what a winner can actually bank. Prizes from UK competitions are not taxed as income; our competition tax guide covers what you may owe afterwards if you keep, let or sell the house.

There are only ever a handful of house draws live at once, so this table is short. For more choice, compare cash competitions or browse everything in the Showroom.

Frequently asked questions

Which UK house competition has the best odds?
The ranking above lists every live house draw we track by Value Ratio, with the ticket cap on each. The draw with the smallest ticket cap has the best worst-case odds per ticket. It changes as draws open and close, so check the live table rather than relying on a fixed answer.
Are win-a-house competitions legit?
Yes, when they are run as prize competitions under the Gambling Act 2005, which requires either a skill question or a free entry route. The operators listed here are tracked independently by Competition Showroom. Always read the terms for the minimum-sales clause and the cash alternative before entering.
Do I pay tax if I win a house in a competition?
The prize itself is not taxed as income in the UK. You may have ongoing costs such as council tax and insurance, and there can be capital gains tax if you later sell a house that was not your main home. Many operators cover stamp duty and legal fees; the terms of each draw say whether they do.
Why is Omaze not ranked here?
Omaze does not cap the number of entries, so there is no ticket limit to calculate odds or a Value Ratio from until the draw has closed, and a draw without a ticket cap cannot be placed in this ranking. We cover each Omaze draw in our blog, with estimated odds based on the charity donation Omaze reports.
