Engineer offers his £250,000 three-bed home as a competition prize at £5 a ticket and you could win it if you can answer three easy questions (8 Pics)

A £250,000 three-bed home could be yours for just a FIVER - if you're smart enough to answer three multiple choice questions correctly.

Kieron Walsh is giving one lucky punter the chance to get on the property ladder for "less than a gin and tonic".

The homeowner hopes enough people will enter the competition to cover the value of his detached home in Salford by April 23 2018.

Kieron, 30, told the Manchester Evening News: “The prize included the stamp duty and solicitors fees so £5 is literally all the person would have to pay, less than a gin and tonic, and that opens it up too so many people for whom a house like this was out of reach.

“I see it as a win, win situation really.”

Entrants will have to pass the quiz to stand a chance of winning and being handed the keys to the home.

The potential home owners will be quizzed on when the house was built and what materials were used to build it, as well as answering a simple maths question.

Engineer Kieron decided to launch the competition after a series of sales fell through.

He added: “People kept putting in other offers and gazumping each other, and then the closer I’d get to finalising something would happen.

“So I started doing some research and I decided to press ahead with this.”

Writing on the competition website Kieron explains: "I purchased this house off plan and moved in once constructed in 2016, and purchased this as my forever home.

"Unfortunately, life had a different plan for me, and life has now taken a turn in another direction. Because of this, I am now offering YOU the chance to live the dream that I set myself all that time ago at the ripe old cost of a FIVER."

He says the house is in "immaculate condition" with a south facing rear garden and drive through garage.
