'Most Expensive Home in History' Sells for £270m in Chelsea

Providence House drew multiple bidders and sold for more than £270 million, a price believed to set a record for a single home sale.

  • Billionaire property developer and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy sold his Chelsea mansion, Providence House, for more than £270 million , believed to be the biggest single house sale in history.
  • The Grade II-listed property sits on a two-acre site that once accommodated the residence of Britain's first Prime Minister Robert Walpole; Christian Candy purchased it in 2012 for about £75 million.
  • Surpassing the £210 million paid for a Hyde Park mansion and the near $240 million New York penthouse, this sale stands out amid a 31% decline in prime property transactions reported by LonRes.
  • Following his divorce from Australian actress Holly Valance last year, Candy serves as a senior figure within Reform UK, having donated about £1 million to the party in 2025.
  • Candy is turning his attention to luxury development projects in the Middle East while maintaining trophy assets, including the flagship duplex penthouse at One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge.
