Rachel Reeves admits to breaking housing laws after renting out family home

Rachel Reeves has admitted to breaking housing laws after renting out her family home without a licence after entering Downing Street.

The Chancellor has referred herself to the independent ethics adviser.

She has also informed Sir Keir Starmer of her mistake.

Ms Reeves failed to obtain a rental licence when she placed her family home in Dulwich on the rental market last year, as she moved into Number 11 Downing Street with her family in July, according to the Mail.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
