FarageExposed Requests Clarification Over Nigel Farage’s Clacton Property
FarageExposed.co.uk has contacted the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to request clarification regarding the funding and ownership of the property Nigel Farage MP has stated he will use as his constituency base in Clacton.
Last updated 26 November 2025
*UPDATE* Read the full Correspondence From the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards
Our request does not allege wrongdoing. Instead, it raises questions about transparency and consistency, following a series of public statements made by Mr Farage about the purchase.
Mr Farage told the media that he had “bought a house in Clacton” and that he had “exchanged contracts” on the property. However, subsequent reporting showed that the house is legally registered solely in his partner’s name. Mr Farage later described his earlier statements as a “slip of the tongue.”
Because the house:
- was reportedly purchased without a mortgage,
- is of high value,
- is structured in a way that would have different tax implications were Mr Farage an owner, and
- was the subject of contradictory public statements,
We believe that clarification is in the public interest — particularly as Mr Farage frequently states that he may become the next Prime Minister.
As of today, there is no publicly available record of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards having reviewed this matter.
Our letter therefore asks whether clarification is appropriate regarding:
- any potential financial or beneficial interest Mr Farage may hold in the property,
- whether any contribution toward the purchase should have been declared, and
- whether the public statements he made were consistent with MPs’ requirements for accuracy and transparency.
FarageExposed.co.uk is committed to documenting public claims and ensuring they are presented with clarity and factual context. We will update this page should the Commissioner’s office respond.

Dear Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards,
I submit the following complete and fully compliant formal allegation under Standing Order No. 150. This email replaces all previous correspondence on this matter.
I am not alleging deliberate wrongdoing. However, publicly available information and Mr Farage’s own contradictory statements raise legitimate questions about whether certain rules in Section D (Rules of Conduct) of the current House of Commons Code of Conduct may have been engaged and require investigation.
————————————————————
Relevant provisions of the Code of Conduct
————————————————————
Section D – Rules of Conduct
D5 – Members must fulfil conscientiously the requirements of the House in respect of the registration of interests in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
D6 – Members must always be open and frank in declaring any relevant interest in any proceeding of the House or its Committees, and in any communications with Ministers, Members, public officials or public office holders.
D11 – Members shall never undertake any action which would cause significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole, or of its Members generally.
————————————————————
Summary of the allegation
————————————————————
Nigel Farage MP repeatedly told the public in November 2024 that he had personally “bought a house in Clacton” and had “exchanged contracts” on it. In September 2025, he admitted he was “wrong” to say this and stated that the property is legally and beneficially owned solely by his partner, Laure Ferrari.
The property, reportedly purchased for approximately £885,000 in cash with no mortgage, is described by Mr Farage as his constituency base.
These contradictions, combined with the absence of any registered interest and ongoing public questions about whether Mr Farage contributed funds to the purchase, may engage Rules D5, D6 and D11.

Evidence
————————————————————
A. Mr Farage’s original public statements claiming personal purchase
A1. Sky News – 15 November 2024
“I’ve just exchanged contracts on the house that I’ll be living in there… I’ve bought a house in Clacton.”
A2. Sky News reporting confirming the same statements
B. Legal ownership (solely Laure Ferrari)
B1. The Guardian – 23 May 2025
“Nigel Farage said he’d ‘bought a house’ in Clacton – it’s actually owned by his girlfriend.”
B2. The Independent – 11 September 2025
Reports that the property is legally and beneficially owned solely by Laure Ferrari.

C. Cash purchase (no mortgage)
Confirmed in the Independent and Sky reporting above. The purchase is described as a cash transaction with no mortgage registered.
D. Mr Farage’s later admission
D1. The Guardian – 6 September 2025
“I should have said ‘we’. My partner bought it… It is her asset. I own none of it.”
D2. Sky News – 11 September 2025
Mr Farage: “I don’t have any financial stake.”
E. Stamp duty implications
The Independent (link above) discusses that a purchaser with existing property holdings—such as Mr Farage—would have incurred approximately £44,000 in additional stamp duty had he been involved in the purchase.
————————————————————
Why these circumstances may engage Rules D5, D6 and D11
————————————————————
• The contradiction between earlier statements of personal purchase and later admissions may engage D6 (openness and frankness in declaring relevant interests).
• If Mr Farage contributed funds or holds any beneficial interest, failure to register it may engage D5 (registration of interests).
• The conflicting statements and public concern about beneficial ownership may engage D11 (actions damaging the reputation and integrity of the House).
I make no allegation of deliberate wrongdoing. I request only that the Commissioner determine whether any of these rules are engaged.
