## Summary

Jonathan Bailey bought David Walliams’s Hove beachfront home for £3.7 million in August 2025, shortly before HarperCollins said it would stop publishing new books by Walliams. The sale drew attention because it took place amid a publisher investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by female staff; the article reports the timing but does not establish a connection between the sale and the allegations.

Land Registry documents cited in the article show Bailey paid £200,000 above the £3.5 million asking price. Walliams had bought the four-bedroom property in 2010 and sold its neighbouring annexe to Bailey for £1.5 million in 2023. The home has two bathrooms, a roof terrace and private beach access; the article also reports that Walliams is selling his Primrose Hill home for £10.5 million.
