Worried about getting onto the housing ladder? Ronnie O’Sullivan is giving you the opportunity to win your first home.

We all know its tough graduating these days. In the aftermath of the recession its clear to see the under 30’s have been hit the hardest. If you’re a student or a recent graduate in London, chances are you can’t afford the deposit needed to get on the housing ladder. But still, people advise you to buy quickly before you become priced out of the market, don’t leave it too late.

Well, in reality there’s already a high chance you’ve already been priced out.   The problem is supply and demand, London is becoming over populated and the city simply doesn’t have the accommodation to house the vast amount of people who need somewhere to live, and so with the increase in demand, comes a steady price rise.

Ronnie O’Sullivan, is acutely aware of the housing crisis London faces. A Londoner born and bred, Ronnie has recently seen a change in the capital he grew up in. With increasing numbers of young renters unable to get on the property ladder, Ronnie feels we are facing a housing epidemic unlike any we’ve seen before.

Ronnie himself has commented that people between the ages of 24 to 44 are increasingly renting, and this creates problems of its own. Private renters are spending 40 per cent (!) of their incomes on paying their landlords, and this makes it almost impossible for them to save the money needed to get onto the housing ladder. And so the cycle continues.

Although he can’t help everyone, he is keen to offer an opportunity to one lucky would be homeowner, offering a first step onto the property ladder. It’s a great opportunity for students looking for that first step towards the home of their dreams, and with tickets starting at a mere £1.50 what have you got to lose?

The flat comes with a gorgeous roof top terrace and amazing panoramic views of the city, there’s an in house gym to ensure you start the day the right day, and a front of house concierge on hand to help you make everyday life easier.

The flat is also only a short walk from the heart of Canary Wharf, and only an 8-minute train journey to Stratford, providing easy access to all the commodities at Westfield Shopping Centre.
