Jeremy Hunt spent £3.56million on controversial purchase of seven luxury flats to rent out

Jeremy Hunt spent £3.56million on a controversial purchase of seven luxury flats to rent out, it can be revealed.

The Foreign Secretary and Tory leadership hopeful apologised last April for failing to declare his part-ownership of a firm that bought the seaside properties in Southampton.

Documents just made public on the Land Registry reveal Mare Pond Properties, set up with wife Lucia Guo, paid £437,000 for the cheapest flat last March while the most expensive was £685,000.

Mr Hunt faced a probe after failing to declare it in the Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests on time, or with Companies House.

A spokeswoman said at the time: “These were honest administrative mistakes.”
