According to exclusive research from Countrywide, Hamptons International’s parent company, to mark the launch of the prize draw, average mortgage payments in the UK are £7,837 per year*. However this increases to £11, 854 in London and reduces to £6,068 in Scotland.

Lesley Cairns, Managing Director of Hamptons International, said: “We are thrilled to launch this prize draw in association with our parent company, Countrywide, to pay one lucky winner the equivalent of a year’s mortgage or rental payments up to a value of £20k and we look forward to giving the lucky winner a great start to the New Year in January.

“Even if you’re not the lucky winner, we have a team of mortgage brokers across the country able to offer an advice and recommendations service to ensure you have the best mortgage deal for your needs. With interest rates increasing last week, this is a great time to review your mortgage needs with our expert advisers either on the phone or in one of our branches. ”
