Neales $3.2M Home Hits Market After Split

It was the end of a very dramatic era for Jules and Lachie Neale over the weekend, as their former family home sold at auction.

Following the couple's much-publicised split, they listed the home, located in the Brisbane suburb of Seven Hills, in January.

Lachie, 32, and Jules, 36, bought the five-bedroom house at auction for $2.43million back in July 2022.

The pair made a tidy profit at Saturday's auction with the property changing hands for an impressive $3.2million – $200,000 over the reserve.

The property was purchased by local couple Nick and Alana, who have three young children.

It's reported the auction attracted between 60 to 70 people with 'fierce' bidding starting at $2.5million.

While Lachie and Jules were not present on Saturday, auctioneer Justin Nickerson told the publication that all parties were 'happy' with the outcome.

Listing agent Sam McLeod added that interest in the property had been strong from the get-go.

'We had great numbers through every open home and strong competition at the finish,' he said.

'Seven Hills is very undervalued compared to surrounding suburbs.'   

Boasting three bathrooms, a pool, and an entertainment deck, the newly built home features a spacious open layout, soaring ceilings and louvre windows.

There's also an alfresco dining space and BBQ patio, while the main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and private balcony.

Speaking with the Courier Mail in April last year, Lachie said that the property could be the family's 'forever home.' 

'We’re a little bit wild and free, I suppose, in that sense. If we feel like moving, we will, but we love this house,' he said.
