"Laure Ferrari stated, 'Yes and no, that would be a very large inheritance. There's more than one way to pay for a house. I can't say how much my grandmother gave, that's my business.'"
"Labour called on Farage to clarify how the purchase of the property he uses in Clacton was funded, stating, 'Farage has failed to be straight with the public over the full facts.'"
"The Guardian reported that the house in Clacton, which Farage initially claimed he had bought himself, was in fact wholly owned by Ferrari."
"Ferrari's purchase of the house would have saved Farage an estimated 44,000 in the higher rate of stamp duty to which he would have been subject."
Laure Ferrari, partner of Nigel Farage, has not confirmed how she financed a house in Clacton, which Farage initially claimed to have bought. Ferrari stated there are multiple ways to pay for a house and mentioned a family inheritance without disclosing specifics. Following an interview, Labour demanded clarification from Farage on the funding of the property. Previous reports indicated that the house was owned by Ferrari, contradicting Farage's claims. The ownership structure may have been a strategy to avoid higher stamp duty costs.
