A set of house keys launched into space have fallen back to earth in Norfolk and the first person to find them will win £10,000 towards a house deposit.

Property company Good Move launched the keys into the atmosphere yesterday, and say they've fallen to earth in Drayton in Norwich.

The keys have dropped into a mystery location close to Norwich

David White, Content Marketing Director, told us: "We know how hard it is for people to get on the housing ladder. We know that house prices are increasing and that the deposits needed for this are increasing as well.

"We just wanted to help out and we thought why not have a little bit of fun with it and do it in a creative way".

The firm works with experts to get the keys up into the atmosphere.

Mr White added: "We worked with a specialist team who have done this many times before. They can analyse where they go up to where they go down, everything from wind to make sure it didn't go into any flight paths as well.

"We worked with the best that helped us with the logistical side. It's probably more credit to them than it is the team at Good Move".

"There's going to be clues, we want somebody to find this. The keys are attached to a bright orange parachute, so hopefully it's quite visible to be seen if you're looking in the right area that is".
