Helen Flanagan sells family home ‘for £500k under asking price’ after ex Scott Sinclair forced sale amid bitter split
HELEN Flanagan has finally sold her family home for a whopping £500,000 under the asking price.
The former Coronation Street actress, 35, bought the six-bedroom abode with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, whom she split from back in 2022 after 13 years together.
Despite their long-term relationship and three children, the former couple never married and the family home, near Bolton, is solely in footballer Scott’s name.
But since their split, Helen has been living in the home with their kids; Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
Last year we reported the house was put on sale for £1.5million before being reduced to £995,000.
And now, the house has been marked as sold, subject to contracts, on Rightmove.
Despite the hefty cut from £1.5M to £995,000, the couple will still make profit from the home if it went for it’s final asking price, as it was bought by Scott for £840,000 in 2021.
In addition to its six bedrooms, the impressive home is set across three floors – with a massive walk-in wardrobe and a sprawling garden surrounding the gated home.
In January, we revealed how Scott, 37, was keen to get the home sold, while Helen wasn’t in any rush to move out.
A friend of Helen’s said at the time: “Scott pays for the house and all the bills and he’s decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids.
“But Helen doesn’t want to move and is digging her heels in.
“She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.
“Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He’s even offered to put it in her name but wants to stop the maintenance payments.
“The relationship has completely broken down. They no longer communicate — everything goes through her parents.”
But another pal explained Helen has spent a fortune of her own money renovating it.
They said: “The house was really run down and Helen has modernised it and made it into the beautiful family home it is today.
“Scott wants to sell to take the money out, but he hasn’t found Helen or the kids a new place. He’s not being reasonable. He and Helen are not on the same page.”
