My home in Clacton is my partner's, says Farage
The Observer
|September 07, 2025
Nigel Farage said yesterday he "misspoke" when he claimed to have bought a new home in his Clacton constituency, as he faced questions over whether he had avoided tens of thousands of pounds in stamp duty.
Farage now insists the property was solely bought by his partner, Laure Ferrari, and has told reporters it was her "sole asset". The Reform UK leader would have faced an extra tax bill of about £44,000 for additional properties if it had been registered in his name. He has described claims that he may have saved tax on the property in Clacton-on-Sea as a "disgusting allegation, unfair and untrue".
