Liam Payne has bought a house for his parents.
The One Direction star has invested in a £400,000 home for his father, Geoff, mother, Karen and older sisters Nicola and Ruth near his childhood abode in the West Midlands.
A friend told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Liam thinks the world of his parents and it pains him to leave his family behind when he is on tour.
"He is also a shrewd operator. At 21 he has shown excellent awareness of the importance of investments. 1D won't last for ever but Liam has already secured several million in bricks and mortar."
Liam paid £357,500 for the detached property in the English county, which has since increased in value to £400,000.
It is not the only property investment the 21-year-old singer has made; he has also purchased a super-mansion in Surrey for himself.
The three-storey house - which cost him £5.1 million - has an all-weather tennis court, a cinema and heated outdoor swimming pool as well as a wine store and a ballet studio.
High security measures are in place to ensure the 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker - who will soon embark on his third world tour with his 1D bandmates, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles - is not disturbed by fans during his time off.
A source revealed previously: "The security is insane. Every part of the house and grounds are in camera isolation zones, many heat and motion monitored."
