Overview
- The family announced the sale on Thursday through a confidential sealed‑bid process that requires a minimum offer of £10 million and closes on 31 July 2026.
- Known as the Lord's View Penthouse, the 11th‑floor residence features a 100‑foot private terrace and a pavilion‑style viewing lounge that directly face the Lord's wicket and MCC pavilion.
- All proceeds will go to the Launan Charitable Trust, and media reports say the trust plans to give 10% to the MCC Foundation and allow 5% to go to a buyer‑nominated charity, though those allocation figures are reported rather than issued as a standalone official release.
- Qualified bidders can register for access to a secure information portal and arrange private viewings during the bid period, with legal procedures for the sealed‑bid set by London lawyers and handled via an appointed portal.
- Sellers expect strong international interest from cricket enthusiasts and collectors, and the timing during a busy Lord's summer plus a RIBA/London Metropolitan Archives exhibition on architect Max Clendinning may draw buyers attracted to the property's sporting and design provenance.
