New Home: Mr Huhne has bought another property despite facing allegations that he asked his ex wife Vicky Pryce to take speeding points for him
Chris Huhne has bought a new home for £1.25million after giving up the £2.5million townhouse he used to share with his former wife.
The embattled Energy Secretary – once nicknamed Seven Homes Huhne – splashed out on the luxury apartment in a fashionable part of London last week.
It is the eighth property he is known to have purchased, although he recently ceded the five-bedroom marital home in Clapham, South London, to his former wife Vicky Pryce.
In August last year, as their divorce was nearing completion, Miss Pryce became the sole owner of their family home, according to Land Registry files. The pair have three adult children.
Mr Huhne is expected to learn within days if he is to be charged over allegations he asked Miss Pryce to take speeding points for him in 2003.
But last week he is believed to have paid £1.25million for a building comprising a two-bedroom flat above offices in a Grade II-listed former pub in Clerkenwell, North London.
It is thought likely that he will live in the apartment with his new partner, Carina Trimingham, while earning £37,000 a year rent from the firm which has a five-year lease on the ground floor office.
Mr Huhne left his wife of 26 years for Miss Trimingham in 2010 as their affair came to light.
He issued a statement announcing he was in a relationship with Miss Trimingham, who has previously worked as Mr Huhne’s press officer and is a former political journalist.
Mr Huhne’s new apartment is less than
half a mile from the £570,000 flat Miss Trimingham used to own with her
civil partner ‘wife’ Julie Bennett, which they have since sold.
Clerkenwell, once a haunt of Charles
Dickens, is considered an excellent investment prospect by estate agents
because it is close to Farringdon Station which will be part of the
Crossrail project to improve transport in the capital.
Yesterday Mr Huhne’s spokesman said it was a ‘private matter’ and refused to comment on the details.
The millionaire Lib Dem MP also owns a £250,000 property in his constituency of Eastleigh, Hampshire.

He recently sold a £332,500 flat in the London borough of Lambeth that he used to rent out, but he still declares rental income from ‘property in the South-East’ on the MPs’ Register of Members’ Interests.
The property portfolio he built up included two flats in Highbury, North London, a house and a flat in Oxford, and a share in a house in Languedoc, southern France.
At one point he was receiving an estimated £80,000 a year in income from rented properties.
Miss Pryce divorced Mr Huhne earlier this month on the grounds of adultery, after he confessed to the affair with Miss Trimingham.
In their decree nisi granted at the High Court on January 11, economist Miss Pryce was asked in a question-and-answer style document: ‘State briefly your reasons for saying that the respondent has committed the adultery alleged.’
She answered: ‘He admits it.’

Miss Pryce was also asked if she found it ‘intolerable to live with the respondent’, and answered: ‘Yes.’
In a separate document Mr Huhne, 57, was asked: ‘Do you admit the adultery alleged in the petition?’, and answered: ‘Yes.’
Neither party, who married in London in 1984, attended the proceedings before District Judge Anne Aitken.
Mr Huhne’s career is hanging in the balance as he waits for prosecutors to decide whether to charge him after they won a court battle to obtain email evidence.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has warned it would be a ‘very serious issue’ if the Crown Prosecution Service charged Mr Huhne over the speeding points allegation.
Mr Huhne could be charged with perverting the course of justice, although allies of the Energy Secretary have indicated he may try to cling on to his job if he was charged. Describing his mood as ‘bullish and confident’, one pointed out that the ministerial code did not require ministers to step down automatically if they were a defendant in a criminal case – only that government lawyers must be consulted.
However, Mr Clegg made it clear that the Government would want to be seen to uphold the ‘highest standards of probity’ among ministers.
Yesterday Essex Police confirmed it had now received the emails following the court victory last week.

Obscene. How can these people relate to ordinary folk?

Your comments:No wonder our leaders have pulled every trick out of the hat to keep house prices propped up and interest rates so low. They have been busy building their own property empires and protecting their own vested interests. They’ve all been at it, just look at Blair and his cronies. It seems like they used their positions in power to engineer everything in their own favour, backed up by their banker chums. Must be good to have membership to the old boys network!

Has the man elastic money they tell us M.P.’s are so poorly paid, oh I forgot they also recieve obscene amounts in expences.

if he’s got that kind of empire then as a man who obviously understands the importance of “we’re all in this together.” he should either donate his MP’s salary to charity, or the profits made from these properties because then he’d be setting a proper example. but will he? probably about the time hell freezes over and you can catch satans 3pm ice skating show.
this is why people have no faith in politicians, not one of them seems to have ever had to get by on £12k a year, so they will NEVER understand what it means to be like us.
