Angela Rayner's £800,000 Hove apartment is the latest addition to her burgeoning property empire - which includes a £650,000 four-bed in Greater Manchester and a grace-and-favour pad in Admiralty House.
The large, airy coastal flat is located on the second floor of an elegant Victorian terrace and consists of two flats converted into one. It has its own balcony, sash windows that look out onto the sea and a neatly maintained green.
Pictures inside the property show a smart kitchen featuring marble-style countertops, a generously sized master bedroom and a cosy living area crowned by a small crystal chandelier.
For all its charms, Ms Rayner's new seaside residence has landed her in hot water amid reports she dodged shelling out £40,000 in stamp duty by declaring it as her main place of residence.
Weeks before buying the property, the Deputy Prime Minister took her name off the deeds of her constituency home in Ashton-under-Lyne - allowing her to pay £40,000 less stamp duty than would have been due if it was her second home, reports the Telegraph.
