Located in the N.O.M.A Quarter in Manchester, the £350,000 apartment was accompanied by a resident’s gym and lounge and came stocked with over £10,000 worth of furniture for the winner to take. 

“We will enjoy it for a while while we get advice” Andrew said, adding that “Luckily we’re not in a situation where we’re absolutely desperate for money….we’re not well off, we both work very hard”. 

Elite Competition’s Founder Alex Beckett commented on Andrew’s win: “I’m very happy for Andrew and his wife, this was the right financial decision for them because the apartment is incredible. Whether they later decide to sell or rent the property out, this is life changing for them”.
