The Wilsons are nearing a sale

BTL royalty, Fergus and Judith Wilson, have said they are close to securing a deal on the sale of their rental portfolio. Three separate Chinese investors are said to be the front runners to secure the deal on Fergus's,  1000 strong portfolio.

The Kent landlord says the sale is “highly possible and approaching probable.”

He is holding out for a £250 million price on his tenanted portfolio, which after paying back loans and costs, should bag him around £100 million to see him through his retirement.
