New details about Liam Payne’s future moves have come to light in the wake of his tragic death on October 16.

The One Direction star, who fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, just over a month ago, had planned to sell his Buckinghamshire mansion after his move to Florida.

According to RightMove, Liam put the house up for sale in September and listed it at £3.25 million, almost three years after he had bought the property to be closer to his ex, Cheryl Cole, and their seven-year-old son, Bear

Liam had recently moved to Florida to be with his girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy, reportedly forking out $9,500 a month in rent according to TMZ. 

After his death, the 31-year-old’s Buckinghamshire neighbors only had nice things to say about him, with local Thomas Evans telling MailOnline that he was a “very genuine and humble person.”

“He lived a quiet life here. He was a private guy- but he was a warm person who would always greet you with a smile and would stop to talk for a while,” Thomas said. 

Over a month on from Liam’s tragic death, it’s clear that fans of the boy band aren’t the only ones still grappling with his shock passing.
