The Claim

Nigel Farage said that mansions in London are being rented out for £750 per month.

The Short Version

Farage did publicly say that London mansions were being rented for £750 a month, but the documented wording included an important qualifier: he said they were being rented “to benefits claimants” for that amount. That makes the attribution broadly accurate but not exact. The evidence also does not establish that the underlying rent claim itself was true.

Caveats

  • The documented quote included “to benefits claimants,” which the reviewed wording leaves out.
  • Reports confirming that Farage said this do not independently verify that mansions were actually being rented on those terms.
  • Without the qualifier, readers may wrongly infer Farage was describing normal London market rents rather than a claim about welfare-supported housing.
