Overview

• Land Registry records show she bought a three-bedroom seaside apartment in Hove this year, adding to her constituency house and a grace‑and‑favour flat at Admiralty House.
• A government source says she pays full council tax in Ashton‑under‑Lyne, her Hove flat attracts the second‑homes premium that she will cover, and the Cabinet Office administers council tax for Admiralty House.
• Conservative figures demand fuller disclosure of her housing designations, including whether any second‑homes premium or single‑person discount has applied at Admiralty House.
• Allies argue she pays the correct tax, needs a base for work near London, will not rent out the Hove property, and expects it to stand empty for much of the year.
• A pollster warns the optics could harm Labour and send some voters to Reform UK, while HMRC previously concluded no capital gains tax was due on her 2015 council house sale.
