Richard Wilkins' girlfriend lists former Manly home

Richard Wilkins' girlfriend lists former Manly home

Virginia Burmeister, the new girlfriend of Channel 9 personality Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins, is severing old ties.

She’s listed her former Manly home, which she once shared with her estranged husband, investment banker Mark Burmeister, for June 30 auction. 

There’s a caveat on the Manly property, lodged by Mark’s lawyers Gilbert + Tobin, shortly after Virginia, 50, and Wilkins confirmed their relationship.

The $2.65 million purchase in 2014 was bought solely in Virginia’s name, however the caveat suggests Mark applied funds towards the purchase.

It also read that it had been the intention that the legal title would be held in a trust in the names of both as joint tenants.

The caveat concludes by saying it is unconscionable (in accordance with equitable principle) for the registered proprietor to maintain an interest in the land to the exclusion of the caveator.

It is being marketed as an upper and lower duplex by Michael Clarke at Clarke & Humel Property, who has a June 30 auction with $4.3 million hopes.

The residence sits in a renovated Federation duplex known as Felton, just 200m from the beach. 

Virginia and Wilkins confirmed their relationship in October last year and have made regular appearances on Sydney’s social scene.
