Perth Listing

<html><body>
Sally Burton, the widow of the late actor Richard Burton, is heading back to the UK after spending the last 12 years in Perth.
Burton, who is an author and theatre producer, migrated to Perth in 2005 since it was where her youngest brother, David resided.
She was married to Shakespearean great Richard Burton for a year before his untimely death in 1984.
The couple met on the set of the TV mini-series Wagner when she was a freelance production assistant.
They married in Las Vegas in 1983 during a tour of America with Noel Coward's play Private Lives, in which Elizabeth Taylor, Richard's second wife, featured as his co-star (Taylor had been his wife on two occasions, firstly from 1964 to 1974 and then 1975 to 1976).
They returned to their home in Switzerland after a number of months in Hawaii. 
The return back to the UK has prompted the listing of her <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-subiaco-126082254" target="_blank">long-held Subiaco home</a> which has been listed by the prominent Perth agent William Porteous. 
Burton paid $2 million for the newly built home in 2007, two years after she came to Australia where her brother had lived for years.
William Porteous Properties International agents William and Olivia Porteous are seeking offers.
Sally told the local paper she'll be buying somewhere in Suffolk, north east of London.
She remains in charge of the late actor's estate.
She was a big supporter of the local Perth theatre community, patron of the Black Swan State Theatre Company.

Widow of late actor Richard Burton lists in Perth's Subiaco

<html><body>
The Perth property where the body of a mother of two was found buried in the backyard in September has been listed for December auction.
Ahmed Seedat was charged with the murder of his wife Fahima Yusuf, the mother of two children, after her body was found at their Weston Street, Carlisle property.
Under the WA Real Estate and Business Agents and Sales Representatives Code of Conduct 2016 regulation 24, the listed agent must make reasonable efforts to verify all facts material to the transaction.
Listing agent Jared Rayner told the local paper the Weston Street property was no longer a crime scene and its history would not be hidden from buyers.
“Because it’s a material fact of the transaction, we must acknowledge that to any person who does want to purport a contract,” he said.
“It’s open public information as well, however, I would still be disclosing because we don’t know what really happened there other than a body was found in the backyard.”
Seedat is next scheduled in court on November 28.
The Pulse Property Group has marketed the property as mortgagee in possession.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-carlisle-129835546" target="_blank">The 2005-built four bedroom home</a> last traded at $865,000 in 2014.
