The property is now used to accommodate visiting family and guests. However, he\u2019s added several more to his portfolio of properties since purchasing his first flat.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak married Akshata Murty in 2009. Ms Murty is the billionaire heiress whose non-domiciled status meant she is not required to pay UK taxes on income from outside the UK (although she said she would do so, to avoid her status being a \u201cdistraction\u201d for her husband).\u00a0Worth several million himself, Mr Sunak is well able to afford a few properties, and the couple&#8217;s portfolio is estimated to be worth \u00a315 million, including:<\/p>\n<p>A penthouse apartment on Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, with views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and worth around \u00a35.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>A Georgian manor house in Kirby Sigston, North Yorkshire (the one targeted by Just Stop Oil protestors, who took to the roof). The Grade II listed, 12 acre property was bought in 2010 and was formerly a vicarage. It has a lake and boathouse and is currently having a \u00a3400,000 renovation, including the addition of a leisure centre (with 40 foot swimming pool, gym and outdoor tennis court).<\/p>\n<p>A five bedroom mews house in Kensington was purchased in 2010 and is the family\u2019s primary residence. The four storey property was bought for \u00a34.5 million and is now worth around \u00a37 million.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, that original pied-a-terre apartment in South Kensington.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/INDEX\/INDEX1.html\">www.PropertySurveying.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He may have to vacate Downing Street and Chequers, but don&#8217;t be too concerned that the former Prime Minister might be homeless.\u00a0In a television debate with Keir Starmer, during which he was asked how his government would help young people to become home owners given another term in office, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak replied: \u201cI &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/newsletter\/?page_id=28154\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Remember that &#8220;first keys&#8221; feeling?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23397,"parent":22331,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"folder":[564,565],"class_list":["post-28154","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Remember that &quot;first keys&quot; feeling?
