Lisa Armstrong, the 48-year-old makeup artist, is making significant moves in the property market as she continues to build an impressive portfolio.
Following her high-profile divorce from TV presenter Ant McPartlin, 49, Lisa has invested in a new home in Oxford, adding to her already extensive collection of properties.
Reports suggest that she purchased a four-bedroom house near Oxford last year for over £700,000, marking yet another smart investment move after the divorce.
Her Existing Properties
Lisa’s property portfolio is nothing short of impressive.
She retained the former family home, a lavish £2.3 million mansion in West London, following her divorce settlement.
This five-bedroom property is where she once lived with Ant, and she kept it as part of their divorce agreement.
But that’s not all—two years after her split, Lisa bought a £3.8 million house in West London, further solidifying her real estate endeavors.
Her latest acquisition near Oxford is expected to undergo significant renovations, although it’s unclear if she plans to live there.
Lisa grew up in the Oxford area and is quite familiar with it, which could explain her interest in the location.
A representative for Lisa has yet to comment on her plans.
Renovations and Real Estate Moves
Lisa’s knack for property development has quickly earned her a reputation in the industry.
After purchasing her West London house in 2020, she completely renovated the property, installing a pool, gym, outhouse, and a gazebo.
Her expertise in transforming homes is evident, and it’s likely her latest purchase will see similar improvements.
However, not all of Lisa’s property ventures have gone smoothly.
Her former marital home, the one she shared with Ant, faced significant challenges when it was severely damaged by a fire in 2023.
The fire caused an estimated £1 million worth of damage, and at the time, Lisa was renting the property to a family of six.
Life After the Divorce
Lisa and Ant McPartlin’s divorce in 2018, after 18 years of marriage, was a highly publicized split.
Ant quickly remarried Anne-Marie Corbett in 2021, and the couple welcomed their first child together, son Wilder, in May.
Meanwhile, Lisa had her own relationships, including a romance with Sky electrician James Green.
They dated for three years, but their unexpected split in August 2023 left many surprised.
A close friend of Lisa explained that their breakup was amicable, though it seemed sudden, as they had recently enjoyed a holiday together.
Ant’s Divorce Settlement and Ongoing Property Changes
In January 2020, reports surfaced that Lisa received £31 million in her divorce settlement from Ant, though she publicly denied these claims on Twitter, calling them “a load of nonsense.”
Since then, Lisa has continued to navigate the property market, most recently removing their former shared West London mansion from the market after nearly a year of unsuccessful attempts to sell it.
The house, once priced at £4 million, was pulled from the listings in early 2024 and is no longer listed on Rightmove.
Despite these setbacks, Lisa’s ability to adapt and thrive in her real estate ventures continues to demonstrate her business acumen.
Her next steps in property and personal life remain a point of interest, with many wondering what her next move will be.
