Mariah Carey is set to move to the UK.

The stunning singer is currently house-hunting in London, as well as looking for a luxury home in the English countryside.

She has employed three estate agents to find her the perfect place to stay while she writes songs for her next album.

A source revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Mariah has instructed her people to look for places in Ladbroke Grove and around Old Street. She loves the warehouses as they remind her of New York. She also likes Kensington and Marylebone, too."

Mariah recently admitted she loves the London accent - and claims she wants to learn how to speak like a cockney.

She said: "I love the way they speak - the cockney accent - so I'm going to learn it."

Earlier this month, Mariah stole the show at the World Music Awards scooping a phenomenal three prizes - and celebrated by having a pyjama party.

The sexy singer walked away with a trio of gongs, including Best Female Artist, Best R'n'B Artist and Female Entertainer of the Year, before sending pulses racing by wearing a tiny pair of hotpants during a blistering live performance.

Mariah was so thrilled at receiving the prestigious accolades she invited a gaggle of girl pals back to her Los Angeles home for a late night bash in their underwear.
