Angela Rayner put down a whopping £150,000 deposit on her lavish new seaside pad, it has been revealed - as backlash continues to grow over her housing affairs.
The new revelation comes after the Deputy Prime Minister was criticised by a Labour MP over her controversial property dealings involving her £800,000 flat in East Sussex.
Land Registry documents also show that she took out a £650,000 mortgage with Natwest in May on the three-bedroom home.
Mortgage experts said that putting down a 25 per cent deposit meant she was able to benefit from more favourable interest rates, The Sun reported.
Ms Rayner is already under fire over claims she dodged £40,000 in stamp duty when buying the Hove flat after telling tax authorities it was her main residence.
