The 'Behind Closed Doors' hitmaker said he is taking the 'practical' step for establishing a base in London for the sake of his work and girlfriend Emily MacDonagh, as well as maintaining a country retreat to be with his kids, reported Contactmusic.
"It's a wonderful home, but for practical purposes, I've decided to sell it and buy two new homes - a flat in London and then a house with lots of land between where I live now and Brighton. The reason for this is that I'd like somewhere to spend time with the kids out in the country, within easy reach of their school.
However, despite his plans to enter the property market, Andre, 40, insists he and his girlfriend are not quite ready to live together yet.
"In case you're wondering, we're not moving in together just yet, but we're closer than ever to making that leap," he added.
