An estate agent has cut £1.45m from the asking price of David Walliams’ north London mansion after five months without a buyer.
The comedian and former Britain’s Got Talent judge put the property on the market for £11.95m in June. The asking price fell to £10.5m in October, a reduction of more than 12%.
Hampstead estate agency Marcus Parfitt continues to market the property.
The price cut comes amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour involving women who say Walliams contacted them when they were teenagers. Walliams, 55, strongly denies wrongdoing.
David Walliams’ mansion undergoes £1.45m price cut
The white stucco-fronted property extends to approximately 4,527 sq ft.
Walliams has extensively refurbished and extended the house over the past five years, according to the estate agency’s sales particulars.
The property features decorative cornicing, fireplaces, sash windows and modern technology. It occupies a sought-after position in north London.
Land Registry records show that the property last sold for £8.45m in 2013.
The revised asking price remains £2.05m above that previous sale price. However, the owner has since carried out substantial improvements.
Despite the reduction, the property has yet to secure a buyer.
Walliams denies allegations of sexual misconduct
The latest property news coincides with the publication of allegations against Walliams by ITV News and The Guardian.
Two women allege that Walliams began contacting them when they were 15. One has accused him of sexual assault, while both have described their experiences as grooming.
Walliams denies being a sexual predator or breaking the law.
He previously sought a High Court injunction to prevent the media from identifying him in connection with the allegations.
A judge dismissed his application, and Walliams did not appeal before the deadline.
The estate agency reduced the asking price in October, before the media publicly identified Walliams in connection with the allegations on 10 November.
There is no evidence that the allegations influenced the price reduction.
The property remains on the market for £10.5m.

Trial by media and public opinion so far. Strange fellow admittedly. Will criminal charges follow?
