Helen Flanagan, a former Coronation Street star, made the announcement that she would move into her home earlier this year for a new start, and this week the asking price for her home was reduced.
Former Celebs Go Dating star Helen Flanagan has now reduced the price of the mansion that she once shared with Scott Sinclair after putting it on the market. It’s said to be the second time the price has dropped in just four months.
Helen, 35, had announced her plans to move house on a podcast released in April after four years at the property near Bolton. She had initially lived there with Scott, 36, and their three children, prior to the couple’s split in 2022.
The former Coronation Street actress revealed at the time that she would be “downsizing” and having a fresh start, with her admitting that the home was “a lot to like keep on top of”. The house has since been on the market.

The asking price was lowered earlier this week to £995,000. The house, which has six bedrooms, was last sold for £840,000 in 2021, but Helen previously stated: “I put a lot of my savings into doing the house up and stuff, and making it look really beautiful.
Helen put the property on the market in May, according to the Daily Mail. According to reports, this week’s update is the second time she’s lowered the price of the £1.5 million mansion since listing it for sale four months ago.
She then reduced it, according to the report, to around £1.2 million four weeks later. After paying taxes and legal fees, she is supposed to “barely break even” after purchasing the house for £840,000 four years ago.
Helen recently dismissed the suggestion that she is selling the home due to financial issues. She’s previously discussed experiencing financial difficulties and said in January that she was “really struggling”, but she’s since told the Mirror that she needed a “fresh start” by living elsewhere.
She stated last month, “I’m not in a financial crisis.” I’m moving because I really need a new beginning. This home, which was always meant to be our happy family home, surprised me with Scott. And that wasn’t it. There is a sadness in this house, she said, “I hate it when it sounds depressing.”
Helen announced her plans to move house on the Declutter Hub Podcast earlier this year. She on an episode released in April: “I think it will be better for me, actually, to be honest with you, to live in a small house because I think it might be more manageable for me.”
The soap star, who at the time described it as an eight-bedroom home, claimed that her home was a “big house.” She remarked, “I feel really lucky to live here because it’s beautiful but it’s a lot to keep on top of,” adding, “I’m happy to have lived here.”
Helen – who has spoken about her mental health in recent years, as well as financial difficulties – suggested that she wanted “a change”. She said on the podcast: “I feel like I want like a change because, even though everything’s great now, it’s been a really kind of quite heavy few years for me.”
