David and Victoria Beckham RENT £45million mansion opposite newly ...

The extravagant rental means that while extensive work is carried out on the new mansion, the couple can keep a check on ­what's happening


Loaded: David and Victoria Beckham


After splashing out £45million on her new mansion and dropping a further £3million doing it up, it seems Victoria Beckham is taking no chances when it comes to creating her dream home.


The Spice Girl, 39, has gone to extreme lengths to keep the ­year-long renovations on track - by renting another, almost ­identical, £45million house for her and David, 38, just 90ft away.


The Beckhams, I can reveal, have moved in to their temporary West London palace on the very same street, and directly opposite, their recently purchased pad.


It means that while extensive work is carried out on the new mansion, the couple can keep a check on ­what's happening. Pity the poor builders.


I'm told: "The chances of finding two available multi-million pound homes in the same posh, r­esidential street are exceedingly slim.


"But Victoria and David want to be very hands-on with their new home and they are spending a small fortune on the renovations.


"It makes sense to live on the same street and means they can both pop over the road to check on the progress, and keep the builders on their toes."


And, in the Beckhams' case, the builders just happen to be Victoria's dad Tony and his team. Presumably Posh got mates' rates, then.


My source adds: "While Victoria has been in New York, David has been spending a lot of time at the bought mansion, helping Tony and his team lug furniture backwards and forwards.


"The children are excited to see things slowly taking shape too, so the new house really is turning in to a big family project."


The Beckhams - who have three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and a daughter, Harper - exchanged on the sprawling seven-bed mansion last month but will not move in until just before Christmas this year.


As well as an indoor pool, spa, cinema and gym, the stucco-fronted house comes complete with a panic room.


While Victoria's dad is responsible for the heavy duty renovations, her good pal and top interior designer Kelly Hoppen has been charged with making the luxurious pad look pretty.
