Nigel ‘Five Homes’ Farage
According to the Times report, Farage has found himself linked with five whole houses since 2020 – the year we officially left the EU:
- His main residence – a £1.42m five-bedroom gaff in Surrey (Grade II listed).
- His £885,000 Clacton residency – officially owned by his partner Laure Ferrari.
- A Kent residency he lived in with his ex-wife (currently occupied by his daughter Isabelle Farage and an unidentified man).
- Two beachfront properties owned through his production company, Thorn in the Side Ltd.
As reported:
The Times understands the Tandridge property is the Surrey woodland lodge, and the Folkestone and Hythe property is one of the Kent beachfront homes owned via his company. This means the Kent village property, the second beachfront home and the Essex address are not on the register.
Farage does not have to declare the Essex home because legally it is owned entirely by his partner. However, the case with the other two properties is less clear.
The Times spoke to a number of experts who mostly agreed that Farage should have erred on the side of caution and declared the properties. Does this mean he’ll get in trouble? It’s hard to say given what politicians usually get away with, but it’s certainly another case in which he’s given the impression that he’s on the blag.

dizzy: I’d say that Farage is far from open and honest about his affairs …
