In 1975, he sold the papers of several of his Irish ancestors, including those of the 1st Baron O'Hagan, to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI). In 1973, he inherited the 14th-century Sutton Court in Somerset, ancestral home of the Stracheys since 1858; the house was left to him after the death of Edward Strachey, 2nd Baron Strachie, who had no heir. In 1987 O'Hagan sold it for conversion into flats. Those paintings of Sutton Court which were not sold in 1987 were sold by O'Hagan in 1994 and 2007.
