George Michael's former London residence is finally being restored after years of neglect, bringing relief to neighbors and a renewed sense of hope for the property's future.
George Michael's former home in London 's affluent Hampstead area is finally undergoing extensive renovations after years of neglect. The £10 million property, left to the late singer's sister Yioda Panayiotou following his death in 2016, had fallen into disrepair. Photos from last year showed the once-grand residence untouched since Michael's passing, with a garden overrun by vegetation.
However, recent weeks have seen a flurry of activity as scaffolding has been erected around the structure, and builders have been working diligently on-site. Neighbors, who had expressed growing concern over the property's deteriorating condition, have welcomed the news of the renovation. 'We are massively relieved it’s being done up,' one resident, who has lived in the area for 20 years, told Metro. 'It was becoming an eyesore in an area where properties are top dollar and shabby stuff sticks out like a sore thumb.'Another local added, 'It’s an interesting building but was in a right old state. It’s obviously a talking point what with the celebrity connection. The bottom line is that in its current state it’s bad for the area and a facelift will be a good thing.' While the renovations have brought some noise to the otherwise quiet neighborhood, the overall sentiment is one of optimism. News reports indicate the planned renovations include extensive roof repairs and landscaping work, with the overgrown garden posing a potential threat to the structure. Experts have raised concerns about a large, leaning tree and other encroaching vegetation. Camden Council's planning portal reveals details of the extensive overhaul needed, including the removal and replacement of the entire roof. Yioda, who inherited the property as part of a £98 million estate, has stated her intention to restore it to a habitable condition. It appears that George Michael's legacy will soon be reflected in a revitalized and restored home
