A trophy home gets marked down
Anand Nadathur, son of Infosys co-founder Nadathur Raghavan, is seeking £15 million for his Surrey property after initially marketing it at £19.5 million last December. That is a drop of almost £5 million within a year.
The red-brick residence sits inside a 960-acre enclave for the ultra-wealthy near Weybridge, roughly 20 miles to the southwest of central London. The 15,000 square foot home, with lily-pond gardens, an indoor pool and 24-hour security, came to market in late 2025 and, per web archives, has seen at least three asking-price cuts. Nadathur and his wife purchased it four years ago for £16 million.
Tax shifts and a changing playbook
The softer pricing lands as the UK's super-prime market struggles, with higher taxes on wealthy households adding pressure. Nadathur left Britain in 2024 and moved to Singapore, part of a wider pullback by internationally mobile investors as the government tightened rules for residents originally from overseas who used non-dom status.
Momentum for reform accelerated in 2022 after it surfaced that Akshata Murty - married to then Chancellor Rishi Sunak and herself the daughter of an Infosys co-founder - had claimed non-dom status. Labour, then in opposition, pledged to abolish the long-running regime, and Murty later said she would pay UK tax on her worldwide income and gains. Most of her wealth stems from Infosys, the Bengaluru software firm that Anand's father departed in 2000.

Timeline and the wider exodus
Records show Nadathur became UK-resident in August 2022 shortly after buying in St. George's Hill, and, following the Conservative government's move to outline an end to the non-dom regime, he finalized his move to Singapore just over two years afterward. Labour implemented a broader set of changes after its July 2024 election victory. He also wound down a UK investment firm in August that he had launched the year after acquiring the mansion.
Other high net worth figures paring back UK ties include Checkout.com billionaire Guillaume Pousaz and Nassef Sawiris, Egypt's second-richest individual. The UK wealth drain is "genuine," said Stuart Bailey, who leads super-prime London sales at Knight Frank. "A lot of people have been concerned about the nation's direction of travel."
What still links back to the UK - and why it matters for investors
Nadathur did not respond to multiple requests for comment routed through his family's investment platform. The family retains a foothold via Nadathur UK Limited, which is solely controlled by his 54-year-old brother, Sriram.
The bottom line: repeated cuts on a £15 million listing inside one of Surrey's priciest estates underscore a cooler bid for UK trophy assets as tax policy shifts. If your portfolio touches super-prime property or firms serving that market, the direction of travel looks less buoyant than a few years ago.
