The 'Forget Me' singer hates the property he purchased on his friend's recommendation and has to do major renovations to make the place fit to his taste.

AceShowbiz - Lewis Capaldi has complained about the house that Ed Sheeran advised him to buy, calling it a "money pit." Back in 2020, the "Someone You Loved" singer purchased the £1.6 million Scottish farmhouse on the outskirts of Glasgow on the advice of his pop pal Ed Sheeran after deciding to move out of his parents' home during the COVID-19 lockdown.
However, since the star moved into the five-bedroom mansion, located 30 miles away from his mum and dad's home in West Lothian, the property has had to undergo major renovations after being branded a "hell hole."
Capaldi, 26, was confined to a flat whilst the place underwent a makeover after he deemed it inhabitable as he hated the decor and the smell of "fags and dogs." Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, he said, "I bought a house. It was sent to me by Ed Sheeran. He sent me... He didn't send me a house, but he… he sent me the link to it."
"We became quite close over lockdown, I was asking a lot of questions about second records and blah blah blah, picking his brain a lot. And then I was talking about buying a house and I was like, 'Oh, I'm going to move into this place. I'm looking for places around Glasgow.' "
"And then he sent me a link, and I was, 'Oh, this place looks amazing.' I went and looked at it... and I was like, 'This is great.' I didn't maybe look around enough, I didn't smell it. Yeah, I got very excited. And I'm here to tell you, the house is a f****** s***hole. Yeah, it's a money pit, and it has been the bane of my existence for the last couple of months."
Earlier this year, the "Forget Me" singer was given the green light to convert old stables into a gym and build an extension which will include a swimming pool, spa, sauna, media room and home cinema.
