TO celebrate the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, a competition is being held where people will take part in challenges to win a house.
The catch is that the contestants won’t be the ones winning the property; instead, the recipient will be selected from one of their fans.
Safehouse Challenge is a show hosted by Rowan Kemp, where three content creators, Angry Ginge, Ash Holme and Danny Aarons, will compete to win a house.
Viewers can register the support for their favourite creator online, and if that contestant wins, they’ll be entered into a pool to receive the prize.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 takes place in 1991, and sadly the money up for grabs is related to the house prices of the era.
The average house price in 1991 was around £58k, which, according to the Bank of England, is around £130k today, adjusted for inflation.
Call of Duty is only giving its lucky winner £100k towards a house, but it will still give someone the opportunity that many people today will never have.
Even adjusted for inflation, house prices have skyrocketed over the past decade, with the average house price in England rising to over £300k.
As salaries have not risen in line with house prices, purchasing a home is a pipe dream for many young people.
Compared to the average house price, £100k may not feel like enough to buy a house, but there are still a few areas of the UK where it’s possible.
Towns in the North of England like Middlesborough and Hull, areas in the Welsh Valleys, and smaller towns in Scotland still offer starter houses for less than £100k.
Safehouse Challenge also claims the winner will receive additional funding towards solicitor and legal fees as well as money towards furniture.
If you want a chance to enter, you have to register for your favourite ‘Rogue Agent’ between October 4 and the finale on October 24.
Once the winning agent is announced at the finale, those who backed them will be entered into a draw.
The winner will be announced on November 1, and the prize will be life changing for that person.
