Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner knocks £550,000 off asking price in bid to sell her £2.6million London home
Published: | Updated:
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has slashed more than half a million pounds off the asking price of her London townhouse in less than five months in a desperate bid to find a buyer.
However, even if the 30-year-old actress manages to sell her four-bedroom home, she's going to make a substantial loss of over £1 million.
She bought the townhouse, on a private mews in west London, through her acting company for £2.6million in July 2017.
In May this year, the home was put on the market for £2.3million but when no buyers came forward, the price was cut to £1,999,950 in September.
Just weeks later, she dropped it again, asking for offers over £1.75 million, meaning Ms Turner has knocked a staggering £550,000 off the asking price in just under five months.
It means even if it sells at the new price, she will be £850,000 out of pocket.
And that's before factoring in the six-figure stamp duty she would have paid upon purchase, estate agents and legal fees, pushing the real loss over £1 million.
The agents Chestertons have cast the net beyond the UK and invited Chinese-speaking house-hunters to get in touch through the firm's dedicated China Desk.

The listing calls the home 'stylish and very well presented' with 'a beautiful, contemporary finish over four floors'

There are also three bathrooms, a guest cloakroom and a large utility room. The master bedroom takes up the entire top floor of the house and comes with its own balcony.
Ms Turner moved back to London from the US after splitting from Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas in 2023.
By this point, she'd already bought the home when she was just 21.
She managed to negotiate a £295k discount after it was struggling to sell, but now it appears that history is repeating itself.
Ms Turner has an estimated £7.5 million fortune, £4.5 million of which came from Game of Thrones, where she was reportedly paid around £158,000-an-episode for playing Sansa Stark.
Her star is set to rise even further when Amazon's big-budget reboot of Tomb Raider hits our screens next year with Ms Turner playing heroine Lara Croft.
