The Thursday Murder Club author Richard Osman has just released a new book in the series, called The Impossible Fortune. That, along with the success of the Netflix adaptation of his debut novel, Richard's career post Pointless success is going from strength to strength. The cozy crime fanatic lives in Chiswick with his wife Ingrid, and while he has resided in the same property for years, there's a bit of uncertainty about his future there…
House prices across the UK have been on a rollercoaster ride, and many places have seen drops since pandemic peaks, and Chiswick is one of the affected areas.. According to RightMove, "the historical sold prices in Chiswick over the last year were 9 per cent down on the previous year and 14 per cent down on the 2022 peak of £1,107,004." The data also reveals: "House prices in Chiswick have an overall average of £957,356 over the last year, with semi-detached properties fetching £1,815,085."
The presenter occasionally shares snippets of his happy home life and so there is no indication that Richard is selling anytime soon. Should he part ways with the property in the near future, however, he could be in for a shock.
This borough is a very popular choice for movers and shackers in the city, and a whole host of famous celebrities have W4 as their postcode. Recognisable names who live nearby include the likes of Philip Schofield and Declan Donnelly.
As well as Richard and Igrid, their Chiswick property is home to two cats, Liesl and Lottie, and they get a lot of attention on Instagram, posing in various places around the house. Richard's house is stylish and modern, and has an eclectic feel with quirky touches. We particularly like his clever dining table that transforms into a pool table – nothing says dinner party quite like that!
Richard on his wife Ingrid
As well as furry babies, Richard has two adult children from his first marriage, Ruby and Sonny. Richard and Igrid first hit it off when she was a contestant on Richard's hit show, House of Games.
Richard has previously described meeting Ingrid as "the best thing that ever happened to me," when chatting to Saga Magazine. He said: "This job has allowed me to see so much of the world, and, although I don't mind travelling on my own, it's loads more fun with my wife - sharing these experiences her, all these different people and places."
