A family of Somali refugees who sparked a row over council housing when they were given a £2million taxpayer-funded mansion have been moved out - into a £1.3million semi around the corner.

Unemployed Saeed Khaliif, his wife Sayida and their brood provoked uproar in 2011 when they moved into one of the most expensive properties ever to be funded by housing benefit.

It emerged today that the family have now vacated the six-bedroom property in West Hampstead, north-west London, due to changes in the welfare system.

But campaigners have been left further outraged after they were given a property worth £3,000-a-month in rent in an up-and-coming area of the capital.

The couple lost their £2million Hampstead home due to the benefit cap but have got this £1.3million semi

It is understood that Mr Khaliif has not worked since he arrived in Britain in 2008. The family were initially housed in a £1,000-a-month property in Coventry, West Midlands.

But they caused anger when they decided they would rather live in London and were handed the keys to the huge house not far from the homes of popstar Boy George and movie director Ridley Scott.

Their case was one of a number which exposed just how much was being paid out for housing benefit and prompted the government to cap benefits at £500 a week for couples with children.

After the limit was imposed, Camden council moved the couple and their reported eight children into the new property in up-and-coming Cricklewood.

Neighbours say the house underwent significant renovation before the family were moved in.

Local resident Pedro Rodriguez told The Sun: 'The house is huge and it has been decorated to a very high standard with an open-plan layout, high spec kitchen and slate patio.'

The couple were previously given this six-bed mansion, which in 2011 was one of the most expensive properties ever to be funded by housing benefit

The council own the property and is said to keep rents within the benefit cap, while similar properties in nearby streets command amounts of up to £3,000-a-month.

Dia Chakravarty, Political Director at the TaxPayers' Alliance said: 'The welfare system is meant to be a safety net for those who are struggling, not a comfort blanket.

'Hard-pressed families struggling with their bills will be furious at such an extortionate amount being spent on housing a single family in one of the most expensive areas in London.' 

It is understood the couple are entitled to such a large property because two of their children have disabilities.

A council spokesman said: 'Our council homes are allocated on a needs basis in line with our policy and Government legislation.'

Agree that the ones at the top should be sought after.

But the money used to house this family could house three in living conditions, who's the real winner..

Isnt this an extreme case, though?

Swear there've been a lot of poorer londoners without disabled kids that got relocated to areas like Stoke and that. London's social cleanse is well underway.
