Ghislaine Maxwell's former residence in London has been placed back on the market, stirring interest due to its controversial history. Priced at about $3.96 million, the three-bedroom townhouse has been refurbished and includes an updated kitchen, a terrace with wooden lattice, and a fireplace. It is located in the affluent area of Belgravia, within walking distance to renowned stores such as Harvey Nichols and Harrods.
In the past, this home has been connected to serious accusations, particularly involving Prince Andrew and accuser Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre has alleged that she encountered the prince at a nightclub before being coerced into sexual acts within Maxwell's residence. After the scandal unfolded, Prince Andrew stepped down from his royal duties but has consistently denied any wrongdoing, reaching a settlement with Giuffre in 2022.
Maxwell, convicted for her involvement in sex trafficking under Epstein, sold the property in 2021 for approximately $2.1 million to cover her defense costs. She is serving a lengthy sentence, with an expected release in 2037, having already lost an appeal to overturn her conviction. Her legal troubles and the ongoing fallout from her associations with Epstein continue to cast a shadow over the property as it seeks new ownership.

This just stirs more controversy. The new owners will always be judged for living here.

Flipping a property tied to sex trafficking? What kind of world are we living in?

The renovation means nothing when the property's history is so deeply troubling.

Buying this house would be an endorsement of Ghislaine Maxwell's actions. No thanks!

I wouldn’t feel safe living in a house that’s part of such a notorious scandal.
