Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards have bought a new home together.

The Little Mix star and her 22-year-old fiance are said to have ''everything they need'' in the six-bedroom, five-bathroom house worth £3 million which is situated on the outskirts of London.

The purchase comes just a few months after Zayn was pictured holding hands with a pretty blonde in Thailand shortly before he quit boyband One Direction to spend more time with Perrie.

A source said: ''This is a big statement by Perrie and Zayn.

''They've had to shoot down rumours of a split after his exit from the band and this is both of them showing everyone just how serious they are.

''They're engaged and need somewhere they can both call home - and this house is it.''

The luxurious property is split into two wings and also features a three-bedroom guest cottage.

The source told The Sun newspaper: ''It's got everything they need and gives them a safe haven to base themselves when they're both in London and Perrie isn't away on tour.

''Zayn has a bit more time on his hands than he used to, so this is a good place to be for him to hang out with mates or just spend some time alone.

''Plus it is just half an hour or so from London so Zayn won't be going into exile just yet.''
