He wants to make Number 10 his home, but Nigel Farage already boasts something of a property empire. The Reform leader has no fewer than four houses, with his partner owning another in the wannabe PM’s constituency. Farage has tried to present himself as being on the side of working people yet his haul of houses puts his riches beyond the reach of most voters. Here, we give you a rundown of the politician’s property portfolio…
The Surrey Countryside Home
Nestled in the Surrey countryside, Farage’s woodland pad sits in acres of land. The Reform UK leader purchased the grade II-listed property for £1.4 million in May 2024 only weeks after he pocketed a £5 million gift from billionaire Christopher Harborne. We discovered the property has since been revamped. Footage on video platform Cameo, which Farage has used to earn cash filming personalised messages, appears to show him in the extended part of his Surrey house. All of the planned works on the property – which also included internal alterations – could set Farage back up to £350,000, a property expert estimated. And the pad’s revamp could put its value at as much as £1.8 million, the expert added. We have learnt that the extension has been built, although it is unclear if all internal works have been completed. The plans at Farage’s property, set in multiple acres of land, featured a ground floor extension, changes to windows and doors, internal alterations, a chimney removal and a log burner. Proposed drawings show the property was due to have two bedrooms with en suite toilets, a dressing room and lounge, as well as a kitchen with a hidden door leading to a utility room. The property was given both planning permission and listed building consent by a council in April last year. Reform said the offer and purchase process for the property started before Mr Harborne’s £5 million gift. Asked by the Mirror how Farage funded the revamp of his Surrey house, his spokesman declined to comment.
The Beach Pad
It might only be a “dilapidated” beachfront property now, but Farage plans to give this house a makeover estimated to cost up to £700,000. The politician purchased the coastal property, in Greatstone, Kent, via his firm for £575,000 in March 2023. His project could transform it into a “substantial contemporary coastal home” worth up to £1.5 million. The property is due to have four bedrooms, a sea view balcony featuring glazed privacy screens, a log burner, lift and six toilets. Late last year the application was submitted to redevelop the pad in Greatstone, Romney Marsh, including building a sizable extension. We have seen planning documents showing permission was granted by Folkestone and Hythe District Council for Farage’s Greatstone property. The village, on the Kent coast, boasts a picturesque sandy beach. Farage has hailed it as a “super place” — predicting it will “attract many people in the coming years”. Questioned on his Greatstone property plans, a spokesman for Farage – whose basic MP salary is £98,599-a-year – told the Mirror earlier this month: “Work on the first planning application began in November 2023, when an architect was first appointed - a long time before the unconditional gift was made. The second application related to more modest plans than those originally proposed. No building work has even commenced on the property in question.”
The Seaside Property
Not far along the Kent coast, Farage owns another seaside pad. Overlooking the beach, Reform UK’s leader purchased the house via his company Thorn in the Side Ltd for £499,995 in 2020. The property is in Lydd-on-Sea, Romney Marsh.
The Greater London House
Near the border with Kent, Farage owns a semi-detached property. A Land Registry record shows he is the sole owner of the house, reportedly his former marital home, in the London Borough of Bromley. It is not far from the village of Downe, where Farage is said to have grown up. As a boy Farage lived in a Victorian cottage which used to belong to the Down House estate, journalist Michael Crick’s biography of the politician details. Down House, the grounds of which Farage would apparently wander as a youngster, was home to the celebrated Victorian scientist Charles Darwin for decades. Farage told UnHerd in 2024: “When I was born, Downe was in Kent County Council.” He added: “But then Greater London extended and just took us in.” The politician explained: “My political beliefs are very much based on where I grew up.”
The Constituency Pad
He claimed to have purchased a house in Clacton, but the reality proved to be different. The property in Frinton-on-Sea, part of his constituency, it emerged, had in fact been bought by his partner. Laure Ferrari snapped up the pad for £885,000 in late 2024. Farage reportedly said of the Essex house: “Whether I say ‘I’ or ‘we’ is pretty irrelevant. Laure bought the house; it is her asset. The main reason my name does not appear is for security reasons. I would have thought that obvious. As for her other UK or French assets, that is purely a private matter.” Meanwhile, in an interview last month, Ferrari refused to confirm how she paid for the property.
