Eriksson Family Sells Swedish Lakeside Mansion in Cut-Price Deal to Tackle Debts

The cut-price disposal targets UK tax claims linked to a film investment scheme later ruled unlawful.

Overview

  • The Björkefors estate in Torsby was listed at £2m before the asking price was reduced by £400,000 to draw bidders.
  • The property was sold to an anonymous e-commerce businesswoman for an undisclosed sum reported at a minimum of £1.3m.
  • Eriksson bought the home in 2002 for about £4.5m, implying a loss of roughly £3m on the sale.
  • Reports cite about £7.4m owed to HMRC plus at least £1m in other liabilities that the estate is seeking to reduce.
  • A March auction of memorabilia raised roughly £140,000, and the auction house indicated further items could be sold.
