Comprehensive British media reported on May 22 that not long ago, a mysterious abandoned mansion on the outskirts of London was exposed on the Internet, which attracted widespread attention from the media and the public.

According to the latest report of the British "Mirror", the owner of this mansion has now been found, a real estate tycoon from Greece, but there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved.
The eight-bedroom mansion in the Kings Langley area of Hertfordshire, a suburb of London, is now somewhat dilapidated.
The mansion was overgrown with five cars parked next to it, including a Bentley.

And the furniture and decorations in the room, from the piano and the pool table to the designer clothes and astronomical telescopes, are still there, and even half-used toothpaste, the chess board that has not been finished, and the dishes are still in the dishwasher - time seems to have suddenly frozen.
▲The furniture in the room is still in perfect condition
The photos were allegedly taken by an urban explorer who was allowed to enter the mansion.
Video recordings show that the ceiling of the room inside the mansion has also collapsed.

The urban explorer who took the photos said he had never seen such a well-preserved abandoned house. "This is a stunning house. I've seen a lot of places like this, and most of them are much worse than here. ”
Some unopened letters from 2016 piled up in doorway corridors. Therefore, the explorer speculates that the family left 4 years ago. At the same time, he also sighed: "It's like the people who live there get up in the middle of the night and run away without packing anything." ”

Other photos show a watch on the nightstand that has been parked, and many designer clothes are piled up on the railing of the bedroom.
Empty fish tanks are lined up in the wide corridors. Many porcelains are displayed in the living room, next to an unusual white sofa.
Local residents revealed that the mansion was once the home of Greek real estate tycoon Athanasios Tachmintzis in Britain.
Asanasios is said to be 70 years old, while his wife, Sharon, from North Wales, England, died in May 2004 at the age of 52.
Asanasios and Sharon had three sons and two daughters.

Residents said Asanacios had worked as a real estate consultant for a British company, had been guarded at the door of his home and had three Dobermans.
Asanasios is said to have purchased the property in 1999 and lived here with his two daughters and son for 18 years before his eldest son suddenly disappeared.
▲ Someone put the doll on the mantelpiece
For years, neighbors next to them had been wondering why they had left, leaving so many items behind, giving the impression that they were in a hurry to leave.
A local said that about three years ago, residents had noticed that the people inside had "disappeared outright.". "I thought at first that they were just leaving and coming back, but oddly enough, no one ever seemed to come back."

"At first the gate was closed, and then someone locked the gate with padlocks and chains. You can see that the grass inside is getting longer and longer. This is a mystery that is still difficult to solve. No one around knew what was going on and why they were suddenly gone. They were obviously rich because it was a mansion and there used to be a lot of people coming in and out. ”

Another resident said he had come forward and knocked on the door before, even though he had long suspected that the house was empty. He had seen through the window that there was a leak in the hallway.
According to the UK Land Registry, the house has been registered in the name of a company since 1999. This company is not registered in the UK, it is an overseas company. Records show that the abandoned mansion also had many outstanding bills.
According to more information, one of the owners was Asanasios' son, Nicholas Tachmintzis, a film and television actor.

According to the Watford Observer in June 2013, officials issued a press release asking local residents to take notice of the search for Alexis Tachmintzis, the eldest son of Asanatheos, who was said to have disappeared at the time of his disappearance, who was 26.
British police revealed that the last time Alex was seen was when he left a relative's house in north-west London, stressing that he particularly liked the Kings Langley area , home to the abandoned mansion, where he had family and friends.
