The housing market is a tough place for first-time buyers right now, and for many people, getting their foot on the property ladder seems like a distant dream. The cost of living is increasing all the time, and many young people are too preoccupied with paying the bills and making ends meet to think about saving for a deposit.

However, help is at hand. Believe it or not, playing online games may prove to be the solution to your cash-flow problem. A lot of people nowadays are joining online bingo websites where you can play for cheap yet potentially win jackpots worth thousands of pounds.

An example of this kind of site is cheeky bingo, which offers new players the chance to enjoy free bingo games in a total of six rooms. What’s more, cheeky bingo winners playing in these free rooms often take home prizes of £50!

An important thing to remember if you plan to play online bingo for the first time is that you are not guaranteed to win huge jackpots every time you play. You may win £10 or £20 on occasion, or maybe even £100, but remember that every penny counts when you’re saving for your deposit. Besides, it only takes one big jackpot win worth thousands to set you up in your new home!

A ten bedroom mansion in the Hollywood Hills with a history as a top-secret military base is set to be sold for $6.3 million as a residential property.

The 53,000 square foot property was built in 1941, when it was called the Lookout Mountain Air Force Station. It served as the main radar communications and air defence west coast HQ during WWII, and was also used as an Air Force film studio from 1947 until 1969.

It was said to have produced more than 20,000 movies, some of which included films of Nevada nuclear tests.

The property is now to be sold as a luxury mansion, with a swimming pool, views over the Sunset Strip and, of course, a bomb shelter.

The Harry Potter author JK Rowling has reportedly been given planning permission to knock down a house next door to her in order to give her a bigger garden.

The house is worth £1million and is located next to Rowling’s £2 million mansion in a wealthy Edinburgh suburb. The best-selling author applied to the council to have the 1970s house knocked down, and a public meeting was held to discuss the application with council members and Rowling’s neighbours, who found the request very unusual.

After no objections were raised, planning permission to demolish the house was granted. Rowling is now said to be planning to build a summer house in her new garden extension.
