US EditionWogan's Son Bemoans Lack of Buyers for £3.75m Mansion
Sir Terry Wogan's son criticizes inheritance tax and Chancellor Rachel Reeves as the £3.75 million mansion remains unsold with no viewings since November, reflecting market challenges.
- Mark Wogan, son of deceased broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan, said their £3.75 million family home in Taplow remains unsold despite being on the market since November.
- This situation follows Lady Helen Wogan’s death last year when the gated Edwardian house was inherited by the children, but a large inheritance tax burden prevents them from keeping it.
- Hitcham Close, a gated Edwardian property spanning 6,500 square feet in Taplow, features seven bedrooms, multiple living areas, a swimming pool, a tennis court, and scenic views of Windsor Castle, yet it has attracted no serious buyers.
- Mark Wogan expressed frustration with the inheritance tax law that requires payment within six months after a death, with interest charged if delayed, suggesting that his father might question why he put in so much effort to ensure the family received the property free of debt.
- He added the lack of buyers reflects the wider state of the country and housing market, describing it as "a barometer of where we are" and noted discussions about a potential mansion tax possibly slowing the market.
