A home triumph for gifted Adele From dingy flat to £7m mansion for music megastar

She's taken the music world by storm and found love after years of singing about heartbreak.
Now Adele, 23, is enjoying the rewards of success by paying off the mortgage on her first flat – which has risen in value since she bought it.
Land registry documents show the star – brought up above a discount store in West Norwood, South London – has cleared the debt on her £380,000 flat in London’s fashionable Notting Hill, which she bought in 2009.
