Iranian-born tycoon Vincent Tchenguiz is looking to sell the freehold for 250,000 properties.(Agencies) |

The largest portfolio of homes in the UK is up for sale, and could be yours for just ￡3 billion. Iranian-born tycoon Vincent Tchenguiz is looking to sell the freehold for 250,000 properties, which represents one percent of the UK's entire housing stock. The sale has been exclusively targeted at sovereign wealth funds, according to the FT. Forty percent of the homes and apartments are in the South East of England, with 15,000 properties alone in London. Mr Tchenguiz is acting on behalf of the Tchenguiz Family Trust and has spoken to investment bank Lazard to help sell the portfolio, which comes with ￡2 billion worth of debts. The homes have an average remaining lease of 60 years, after which the properties will revert back to the freehold owner or be re-leased. Mr Tchenguiz told the FT the portfolio would give any buyer a safe and long-running exposure to UK house price growth. He said there had been 'several expressions of interest in the portfolio'. He added that he had not decided what he would use the proceeds of the sale for. Mr Tchenguiz, along with his brother Robert, were arrested in March 2011 as part of an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, into the collapse of Icelandic bank Kaupthing. They were questioned for 13 hours, and hundreds of documents and computer files were seized. They were eventually released without charge. Mr Tchenguiz is known for his love of parties which are adorned by good-looking young women. On one occasion Mr Tchenguiz sent all the girls at one party with ￡2,000 spending money each to go on a shopping trip in St Tropez. He was born in Tehran in 1956 and moved to London in 1980, as a senior vice-president of Prudential Bache, after completing university in Boston, Montreal and New York. (Read by Emily Cheng.

英國最大的一單房產打包出售正在上演，總價30億英鎊。 出生于伊朗的房產大亨文森特?琴奎茨正出售名下25萬處住宅和公寓，占英國房產市場總存量的1%。 據英國《金融時報》報道，這些房產只面向主權債務基金買家。 其中40%的房產位于英格蘭東南部地區，另有1.5萬處房產位于倫敦。 琴奎茨是代表他的家族基金出售這些房產的，他已向投資銀行瑞德集團尋求幫助出售房產，這些房產負債大約20億英鎊。 房產平均剩余租期為60年。到期后，業主可決定收回或繼續出租。 琴奎茨告訴《金融時報》，這些房產可以給買家一份安全和長期的英國房產升值回報。 他說，“一些買家已表示感興趣”。他補充說還沒想好怎么使用這筆收入。 英國重大詐騙案檢察局調查冰島克伊普辛銀行倒閉案期間，于去年3月逮捕琴奎茨和他的兄弟羅伯茨。 他們接受了13個小時的審訊，數百份文檔和計算機文件被查封，但兩人最終無罪釋放。 琴奎茨因愛開美女如云的派對而著稱。有一次，琴奎茨把參加一場派對的所有美女送到圣特羅佩購物游，并給每人兩千英鎊。 他在1956年出生于德黑蘭，1980年搬至倫敦，時任保誠貝奇證券公司高級副總裁，大學曾就讀于波士頓、蒙特利和紐約。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 Julie 編輯：陳丹妮） |
