Mummy blogger Constance Hall reveals the 'extremely low' amount she got from the sale of her marital home with estranged husband
First listed for $1.3 million by the social media star in April, the six-bedroom, two-bathroom multi-level pad is now 'under offer' ahead of the final settlement.
Located in a forest 271km from Perth, it features a herb garden and jacuzzi bath.
Known as a 'mummy blogger', the 41-year-old mother of seven children moved out of the home after her partner Denim was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 2020.
On Thursday, the Courier-Mail reported that no details of the sale - including the final price - have been released.

However, Constance has been outspoken about her experience of selling the property, revealing that she was presented with 'extremely low' offers ahead of the final sale.
Taking to her Facebook on Wednesday, Constance announced triumphantly, 'My beautiful home has sold, you guys, it settles in a month.'
'That was more stressful than I thought it would be, between extremely low cash offers from very very rich well known families to people's finance falling through,' she gushed.
Elsewhere in the share Constance said, 'So, opening my home every week for the local public to judge hasn't been amazing.'
She also said that while the house languished on the market for four months she feared that the 'right buyer would never come.'
Constance moved out of the home after her partner Denim was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 2020.
The family relocated to Perth so that Constance's mother could help look after her children, The West Australian reported.
'The house is breathtaking and that never wore off,' she told the publication.
'You feel it every single day. I've had to get used to different stress levels while living in Perth because I don't have that forest to unwind in every day.
'People don't realise the impact clean air and a huge tree have on them, but you notice it retrospectively when it's gone.'
Surrounded by large gum trees, the original three-bedroom abode was constructed in 2008.
Major renovations added three more bedrooms in 2018.
Highlights include oversized timber ceilings and an expansive entertainment deck.
Meanwhile, the main bedroom features a private balcony that offers a stunning view of the surrounding forest.
The outdoor setting also has a shower, water feature and a timber pergola.
The unique interior styling includes a wall mural and elaborate decorative tiling throughout.
Constance and Denim, who met in 2017, 'married' and had their son Raja in 2018.
The controversial mummy blogger explained up until recently, she was still legally married to her first husband, British carpenter Bill Mahon, because she couldn't cope with the red tape involved with getting a divorce, hence she and Denim are not legally married at this time.

We turned an English cottage into a hidden Spanish-style villa
To walk down Cleasby Road in the village of Menston, West Yorkshire, is to be gently reassured by the stone façades and stoic calm of traditional English cottages. But one house, No 75, hides a secret. From the street, it appears to be a charming period cottage, yet behind its modest exterior lies a sprawling extension that could be lifted straight from the hillsides of Andalusia. This is a house with a split personality, combining the serenity of an old gardener's cottage attached to an orchard with the airy grandeur of a modern villa. It is a home of glass, clean lines, secret doors and cinematic surprises — and one that, due to planning constraints, is unlikely to ever be replicated. • Read more expert advice on property, interiors and home improvement 'We lost planning permission at one stage because we've got protected trees, and we stored some of our stuff under them,' says Martin Flack, 55, who owns the house with his partner, Jill Austerberry, 51. 'But getting the actual planning initially went smoothly.' The key was that the site already had a rear extension when the couple bought it, which made obtaining planning permission easier than it might have been elsewhere. The footprint of the house was only modestly altered, thanks to clever excavation and a build that expanded down as much as out. 'The downstairs is probably three to four times the size compared with when we bought it, and upstairs is probably two to three times the size,' Austerberry says. When they found the house, the couple had been living in a flat in Menston for four years and had fallen for the community feel of the village. The area, a fixture in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live list, is on the edge of the scenic Yorkshire Dales and has fast transport links into Leeds and Bradford. Looking for a larger space to make their own, Flack and Austerberry bought 75 Cleasby Road for £340,000 in 2014. At that point, it was a hodgepodge of poor-quality additions, including a ground-floor basement with a ceiling barely higher than 6ft. The vision for the house was inspired by Flack's childhood visits to his aunt and uncle's home in Devon — a very 'social house', he says, that was frequently used to host family get-togethers. The goal was to create a similarly sociable open-plan layout, with a large downstairs table and an elevated patio for gatherings. What began as a fairly simple plan to raise the basement ceiling turned into a wholesale demolition and rebuild, reusing the original stone from the front and removing more than 100 tonnes of earth and clay. Three years, £450,000 and hundreds of design decisions later, they have created a one-of-a-kind concept home. The sleek, expansive interior opens out onto a wide sun terrace and a garden bordered by mature trees and a meandering stream. There are three storeys, all linked by a floating staircase, and a private cinema and utility rooms hidden behind high-gloss kitchen doors. Designing it was a personal mission for Flack, who runs a 24-hour fitness centre with Austerberry, but had always harboured dreams of becoming an architect. 'I used to build houses out of Lego,' he says. 'I ended up in the fitness industry but I think if I had followed my talent I'd have been an architect.' They got a little help and inspiration at a Grand Designs exhibition in London, which connects fans of the TV show with the experts behind the builds. They finished sketching the layout on the train back to West Yorkshire. 'The top floor was the stumbling block,' Flack explains. 'We didn't want a conventional dormer window. We met an architect [at the exhibition] who suggested a big arch because we didn't know what to do to bring it together externally.' That arch now frames the upper floors at the back of the house. From the rear patio, the house is scarcely recognisable as the same one you can see from the front. Triple-sliding anthracite doors stretch across the lower level. Upstairs, the master bedroom opens onto a Juliet balcony that overlooks the back garden. There's underfloor heating on all levels, a bespoke German kitchen by In-toto, Porcelanosa bathrooms and a wired Sonos sound system that extends to the garden. The house has a high EPC (energy performance certificate) rating of B (A is best) — a natural outcome of new-build construction rather than a specific goal for the couple. • Our £1,500 hallway renovation got 13 million views on TikTok 'I love the element of surprise when carrying out viewings, especially at dusk,' says Lesley Shakeshaft, branch manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley, the estate agents selling the home for £950,000. 'I've been in the property industry for 41 years and it's definitely one of the most remarkable dream homes I've brought to market.' The hidden cinema room was a late-stage indulgence, born out of the dark, enclosed nature of the room. It quickly became a snug space for movie nights with surround-sound escapism. Other features include a room divider made of driftwood — sourced from a display at Redbrick mill in Batley — and ornate reclaimed doors believed to be Moroccan, found at a reclamation site near Ripley Castle. Even the lion statue above the front door has a story (more of an urban myth), which originated from a neighbour who has lived in Menston for decades. 'He knows everything about the village,' Flack says of the neighbour. 'He once said that before there was a fire service, you subscribed to the private fire service locally, and the lion meant you had subscribed. If they saw the lion [above the door] they'd come and put the fire out. I don't know anybody else who's got a lion, though, so I think he might be winding me up.' • A £4m house for £25 — are Omaze raffles too good to be true? Flack and Austerberry are now preparing for a new adventure. They are selling both the house and the fitness business to travel before settling in Harrogate, a town they've grown fond of. Their departure is an opportunity for someone else to own this unusual hybrid property, a blend of English tradition and Mediterranean flair. A walk down Cleasby Road may still feel like a trip back in time — until you reach No 75, where the past and present collide in one house, hidden in plain sight.

Modern 5-bed home appears to be a steal as it hits market for £390k… but wait until you see what's in the bedroom
A MODERN five-bed property looks to be a bargain family home with a price tag of just £390,000 – but potential buyers may want to check out an upstairs bedroom. The house in Bradford, West Yorkshire, which has only just gone on the market has been raising eyebrows online after listing images showed the bizarre 'open plan' ensuite in one of the bedrooms. 6 6 6 The home is 'deceptively spacious', and looks set to be the ideal family pad – with plenty of space for kids and entertaining. But there's a rather odd feature in one of the large upstairs rooms. The spacious bedroom is entirely open plan, meaning there is no door to the office area – where a desk and chair has been set up – and that lack of privacy even extends to the bathroom. A toilet and basic can be seen tucked around a corner, with no door concealing the bathroom user while they are doing their business. Storage for toilet rolls and towels has been built into a wall separating the loo from the shower – which is equally fully in view of the rest of the room. The strange theme doesn't continue throughout the home, which is thankfully more traditional with a family bathroom appearing to have the usual privacy control by way of a door, as does a smaller WC. The property, based in the Wyke area of Bradford, is otherwise more typical of a family abode, with a large open plan kitchen/living space, a separate dining room and utility. Meanwhile the garden boasts a large patio area which the current owners have utilised with a hot tub, and not pictured is a summerhouse currently being used as a bar. The property is currently on the market with Peter David Properties for £392,000. Eagle-eyed house hunters have also spotted something odd about this four-bed semi in Oxford. I'm 25 and bought my own home - here's how I used every scheme to make my dream come true If that property isn't to your taste then you might be interested in snapping up James Bond author Ian Fleming's seaside home, which was also owned by Noel Coward. If you're keen on living somewhere out of the ordinary, then this Victorian Gothic tower has been transformed into a four-bed home and comes with stunning views. 5 Tips to Get on The Property Ladder Saving for your first property is tough, but it is possible. Here are a few steps for first-time buyers. 1. Cut back on luxuries and start saving Consistent monthly saving is the best way to accumulate enough money to get on the ladder, for a deposit and purchase fees. To do this, you need to take a look at your monthly outgoings and think about what can be cut out - holidays, new clothes, weekly takeaway. Using a savings calculator can help you to establish how long you will need to save for a deposit. Based on your income, you can figure out a realistic amount to save each month. 2. Have a realistic property search Set a budget for the property price you would like to buy, and think realistically about the location and size of your property. While we all may want that house with a view or extra bedroom, can you afford it? 3. Research Help To Buy and Shared Ownership schemes The government has introduced a few ways to help first-time-buyers get on the property ladder and they're great for those on lower incomes or to buy a property in more expensive areas like London. 4. Consider buying with another person Investing with somebody else you know is a sure way to get onto the property ladder. You only need to save half the amount you would otherwise, so you can work towards getting your property sooner. You can invest with a friend, family or partner. Naturally, it is a big step and a huge commitment so be open and honest about what you expect from living together — if you haven't already. 5. Talk to a mortgage broker and get your documents in order A mortgage broker can tell you exactly how much you can borrow for a mortgage, what you will need to pay monthly and in upfront costs. 6 6 6
