Tory chair accepted £2k hospitality from developer of HMOs for asylum seekers

Exclusive: Kevin Hollinrake's conference costs paid for by firm helping landlords convert homes for lucrative market

The Conservative party chair, Kevin Hollinrake, accepted thousands of pounds worth of hospitality from a company that converts family homes into houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) for asylum seekers, official records show.

According to the MPs' register of interests, Living Redefined covered 2,000 worth of flights, hotel accommodation and dinner for Hollinrake and a family member to attend a property conference in the south of France earlier this year. The entry, registered in April 2025, lists the hospitality as support for attendance at a conference".
