Vicky Curtis-Cresswell has faced an “extremely stressful time” after winning the home in Blakeney, Norfolk, in an Omaze draw.
Curtis-Cresswell, from South Wales, had been unable to take ownership of the coastal property after a council investigation discovered it had breached rules.
Omaze spent months working to resolve building issues which they now say are resolved.
The luxury home was offered as a prize by Omaze for Comic Relief in March 2025.
Omaze said: “We are pleased to confirm that all remaining works at the Blakeney property have been completed, and the home is ready for handover.
“Omaze appreciates that the process has taken time given the initial planning-related matters initiated by third parties that have been fully resolved and looks forward to completing the handover shortly.”
She won won the three-bed home in then Omaze’s biggest ever prize draw – raising money for Comic Relief.
But North Norfolk District Council later launched an investigation that found it was in breach of planning rules.
It said elements were built without the correct permission, including a pool, garage and tennis court.
Omaze said she had already received a £250,000 cash prize and has been ”supported throughout the process”.
