Sir Keir Starmer is now a landlord, it has emerged.

New ministerial declarations reveal the Prime Minister is letting out his north London home after moving into Downing Street following Labour’s election victory.

It comes after The Telegraph revealed that Ms Reeves lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month.

The declarations reveal that Sir Keir is now the “owner of [a] let family home”.

Sir Keir, his wife Victoria and two children previously lived in Kentish Town, north London, in a house they bought for £650,000 in 2004 which is now worth nearly £2 million.

Similar homes in the area are let for between £3,000 and £5,000 a month.

The Prime Minister has previously expressed concern about what the impact of the move to Downing Street would be on his son, 15, and daughter, 13, something which he said “keeps me up at night”.

He told Sky News: “We don’t name them in public. We don’t do photographs with them, and they go to the local school.

“I am desperately trying to protect them in that way, but I know it is going to be hard and I do worry about that.”

The Starmers’ family home was previously targeted by pro-Palestine protesters.

In April, activists from Youth Demand placed children’s shoes in the politician’s front garden in north London and hung a banner on the hedge that read, “Starmer stop the killing”.

A court was told later that month that Lady Starmer, who works for the NHS, was “intimidated” and “effectively forced out of her own home” by the demonstrators.

The declarations also show that Ms Reeves is the “owner of let residential property” after she moved into Downing Street.

She bought her former family home in south London with Sir Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, in 2012 for £599,950.

The couple make £74,000 a year in rental income alone from the house and a two-bedroom central London flat owned by Sir Nicholas.

After last week’s Budget, landlords and second home owners claimed Ms Reeves had put the “final nail in the coffin” for the struggling buy-to-let sector.

Property investors also said she would drive out decent landlords and leave tenants facing higher rents as a result.

As well as their Downing Street properties, Sir Keir and Ms Reeves are also able to use grace-and-favour country properties in Chequers and Dorneywood, Buckinghamshire.
