Reading some links from that newspaper website there was a house on the same street that was big enough for a lot less rent


Here is a bit from the nesw article

But in a matter of minutes the London Evening Standard found four similar homes, including one in the same street.

The most expensive cost £4,500 a month, almost £8,000 less than it costs taxpayers now, and has eight bedrooms.

Delamere Road, Ealing: £850 a week, it has two reception rooms, one with a wooden floor and a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom Another had polished parquet flooring, period features, a large, well-kept garden with terrace, and gold taps in the main bathroom.

It cost £3,400 a month. When shown details of the home, Mrs Saindi's 20-year-old son Jawad said: "There is no driveway, I need somewhere to park my car."

But when asked about one yards from their current home, he said: "It is huge. The lounge is a lot bigger and it looks nicer and has a driveway."
