Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and former model Jerry Hall continue to jointly own a £13 million Georgian mansion in Richmond, London, 26 years after their separation.

A Lasting Property Tie

The property, known as Downe House, was originally purchased in the early 1990s for approximately £5 million. It served as the couple’s London base throughout their relationship, which began in 1977 and resulted in four children: Elizabeth, James, Georgia May, and Gabriel.

Annulment and Unresolved Ownership

Despite their annulment in 1999 – stemming from the non-legally binding nature of their 1991 Hindu marriage in Bali – the ownership of Downe House has never been formally transferred. Land Registry documents confirm both Jagger and Hall are still listed as joint owners.

Concerns for the Future

This arrangement has reportedly caused increasing concern for Hall as she ages. Following the split, it was initially assumed Downe House would be transferred to Hall as part of a financial settlement, potentially contributing to a reported £30 million claim against Jagger’s £150 million fortune. However, this did not occur.

Past Attempts to Resolve Ownership

In 2013, reports indicated Hall’s desire for Jagger to transfer the property into her sole name, allowing her to sell it or bequeath it to their children. In 2016, following Hall’s marriage to Rupert Murdoch, speculation arose that she might be asked to vacate the premises, fueled by lock changes.

Continued Joint Ownership

Jagger reportedly assured Hall she could remain in the property for life, a claim supported by the continued joint ownership recorded in official documents. The 18th-century mansion, dating back to 1780 and overlooking Richmond Park, represents a significant asset and was purchased outright, with no registered mortgage.

Separate Property Holdings

Jagger maintains an extensive property portfolio, including homes in London, Florida, France, and Mustique. Hall is the sole owner of Holmwood, a £10 million country estate in Oxfordshire acquired during her marriage to Rupert Murdoch in 2019.

Enduring Financial Connection

The continued co-ownership of Downe House highlights the complexities of their post-relationship financial arrangements and the enduring ties between the former couple. This situation underscores the potential for long-term complications from property ownership after separation, even for high-profile individuals.
