Darts legend Dennis Priestley believes Luke Littler has made one of his “biggest mistakes” after deciding not to get on the property ladder. Littler , 17, shocked the world by reaching the World Darts Championship final in January and quickly got his feet under the table at the top of the sport. Less than six months after his breakthrough performances at Alexandra Palace, ‘The Nuke’ became Premier League champion.
The teenager's meteoric rise has seen him collect huge sums in prize money, placing him 18th on the PDC’s order of merit. This has allowed him and his family to move out of their two-bedroom house and into a new luxury home in Warrington, situated on a street known locally as ‘Millionaire's Road'. The rent costs £6,000 per month .
Littler will feel there are plenty more huge paydays to come after such a remarkable start to his professional career. However, former world champion Priestley has questioned Littler’s decision not to buy a house and argued against wasting his winnings on eye-watering rent payments. “According to reports, he's only renting.
If he's only renting it's one of the biggest mistakes he's made and his advisors have made,” Priestley told OLBG. “Why rent when you should be putting your money into bricks and water and it being your own house, not paying £6,000 per month to rent a mansion. “I'm no accountant but hopefully someone has advised Luke.
Whether he's been told to rent temporarily to boost his tax return I don't know .
