BELVEDERE House has been sold under the hammer for £5m.
An auction to sell off the famous States property attracted around 200 people yesterday afternoon and saw four interested bidders push up the price to the reserve level.
If that price had not been met, the States could have abandoned the sale there and then. It is not yet known who the buyer is, but it is believed they intend to make it their family home.
Stephen Homer, an associate director of Jones and Partners, made the successful bid on behalf of a client who instructed him by mobile phone. Mr Homer has so far remained tight-lipped about the identity of the purchaser.
