1 week agoEmpty empires: A few Berkeley landlords are sitting on several vacant buildings

The Guardian first reported in May that the house in Clacton, which Farage initially said he had bought himself, is in fact wholly owned by Laure Ferrari, his long-term partner. While Farage said the arrangement was because of security reasons, Ferrari purchasing the house would have saved the Reform UK leader an estimated 44,000 in the higher rate of stamp duty to which he would have been liable, given he already owns other properties.
