Taylor Swift’s break-up from English boyfriend Joe Alwyn came as they were said to be buying an $15 mansion.

Now their shock split has left a mystery as to whether either of them will still move in, reports The Sun.

Sources say the couple, together for six years, had an offer accepted last November to buy the seven-bed property in affluent Belsize Park, North London.

UK Land Registry records show it still appears to be subject to completion.

News of the couple’s split emerged last week, with reports they’d “amicably” ended their six-year relationship “a few weeks ago”.

American pop megastar Taylor, 33, was in London last October — around the time the Grade II listed property was taken off the market.

Neighbours were aware she and actor Joe, 32, were said to be buying it.

One said: “I don’t know if anyone has seen them looking at the house but several living here have told me they’re buying it.”

The area has been home to several celebrities over the years, including Gwyneth Paltrow, David Walliams and Noel Gallagher.

UK estate agent Savills described the detached residence an “exceptional period house” with an “enchanting 130ft mature garden”.

It also boasts a wine cellar and garden flat for staff or guests. A source said: “It would be ideal for Taylor.

“The property is spacious and offers plenty of privacy with a fenced garden.”

Taylor and Joe reportedly rented a $13 million townhouse in nearby Primrose Hill in 2021, having previously spent much of lockdown in his flat four miles away in Crouch End.

The new insight into the final months of their relationship follows reports from Entertainment Tonight that the split was amicable and “not dramatic.”

“The relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows,” ET quoted a source as saying last week.

Swift started her massive Eras stadium tour last month in the US.

Swift and Alwyn had a largely private relationship, shunning the spotlight and red carpet events ever since they met at the 2016 Met Gala.
