A multi-millionaire estate agent whose ‘disastrous’ divorce left him unable to afford to buy a home of his own has won a ruling that parts of a family court judgement made last year were ‘too favourable’ to his ex wife.

Christos Malialis, 59, argued that a £1.45million payout was handed to his ex-wife Elizabeth by an ‘unfair’ and ‘biased’ divorce judge and that he had to put their £1.8million six-bedroom former home on the market and move into a rented one-bedroom flat.

The estate agent, who made his fortune from a lettings agency in Hampstead, ironically complained to the Appeal Court that being forced to move into rented accommodation had left him ‘nowhere near as comfortable as I have been accustomed to.’
