Nick Candy and Holly Valance. Britain’s most expensive house. A £265m sale.

Usual consequence: £32m of stamp duty.

But five small flats were included in the sale. By an extraordinary happy accident, that cut the tax by £18.5m.

The curious sale of Nick Candy’s mansion

@74frankfurt After graduating from @UofGlasgow my sister went into nursing(1982) and worked at Glasgow Royal Infirmary
She told me last week, when Princess Diana visited in 1985 the nurses being introduced to Diana had to wear white gloves.

@oakroyd I woke up this morning remembering. Mike's surname was Caldwell, not Calder

[Robert Stewart @Robert_Lenzie]

@oakroyd Mike Calder who previously worked as manager in the Muscular Arms owned The Cotton Club.
The Muscular Arms was owned by Nightclub impresario Frank Lynch. So many stories 😕

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Miatsf The overwhelming message I got from watching was, nobody knows what the price cap will be in January '27.
No change there
As someone currently on a fixed tariff which ends January '27 that's a little concerning Best advice, prepare for the worst, hope for the best
