Eriksson Estate Sells Swedish Lakeside Mansion in Cut-Price Deal

The disposal is part of efforts to reduce multi-million-pound debts to HMRC linked to a failed film tax scheme.

Overview

  • The Björkefors property in Torsby has been sold to an anonymous e-commerce businesswoman, with outlets reporting an undisclosed price of at least £1.3 million.
  • The house was listed around £2 million and the asking price was reduced by £400,000 to draw interest, according to reports citing The Sun.
  • Estate agent commentary indicated bids started at £1.3 million, though the final figure was not disclosed.
  • Eriksson bought the mansion in 2002 for about £4.5 million, meaning the sale represents a multi‑million‑pound loss versus his purchase price.
  • The sale follows a memorabilia auction of 349 items that raised roughly £140,000, with total liabilities reported at about £7.25–£7.4 million to HMRC plus at least £1 million in other debts.
