Angela Rayner's lawyers increased the price of her constituency home by over £150,000 after an 'error was made', new documents reveal.
The official value of the axed Deputy Prime Minister's Ashton-under-Lyne house was increased by family lawyers from £487,500 to £650,000 last April, Land Registry papers show, as mystery continues to surround the property's price.
Fresh doubts have been raised over the valuation under which she sold a stake to her disabled son’s trust to buy a seaside flat in Hove.
She bought the detached house in Greater Manchester for £375,000 in 2016 along with her then husband, Mark, but its £650,000 costing is significantly higher than similar properties in the area.
The documents, uncovered by The Sun, raise further questions about the former housing secretary's property affairs, after she was forced to resign following a standards report that concluded she broke the ministerial code after underpaying £40,000 of stamp duty on her three-bedroom Hove home.
