Local Feature: Geri Heads For Millionaires Row? - 11/09/01

Geri Halliwell has her sight set on a house on Kensington Palace Gardens. Apparently she has visited the property four times and told the Iranian owners, 'I want to live here'.

The former Spice Girl hasn't returned to her last Notting Hill residence since it was burgled six months ago. Since then she has taken to living out of her designer suitcases in the Lanesborough Hotel.

Local Feature: No Stamp Duty For Homebuyers in Local Wards - 29/11/01

A tax break worth up to £1,500 for home-buyers will help revive London's flagging property market, professionals said today. From Friday, anyone buying in a "deprived" neighbourhood will no longer pay stamp duty if the property costs less than £150,000.

After Gordon Brown announced the move in his Pre-Budget Report yesterday, officials released a list of the 2,000 local government wards which qualify. The tax is levied at one per cent on properties above £60,000, so savings will range from £600 to £1,500.

In Kensington & Chelsea the wards affected are Golborne, St Charles & Avondale.
