- Fergus_and_Judith_Wilson abstract "Fergus Wilson and his wife Judith are among the UK's largest buy-to-let investors. As of 2013, they own nearly 1,000 two- and three-bedroom properties around Ashford and Maidstone in Kent. They were listed at #453 on The Sunday Times "rich list", with a fortune of £180 million. However, that fortune related to the value of their properties at the peak and did not take account of any mortgage debt.Both former maths teachers, the couple, already home-owners, began buying houses when prices were low in the early 1990s. They had previously claimed that house prices would never stop rising, and announced the 'Judith Wilson Investment Property Bond', which, based on claims that the UK property market doubled in value every seven years, they claimed would do likewise. It is not known whether this was ever launched. Similarly, their plans for a chain of discount dentists staffed by low-cost Eastern European dentists do not appear to have come to fruition.The couple relied heavily on leverage to build their portfolio, buying only new-build houses and remortgaging them as soon as prices went up, using the profits to finance further purchases.The couple are also racehorse owners, an activity that earned them some criticism as they persistently entered 'no-hoper', low-quality racehorses in top races - such as their entry of the 'worst racehorse in history' into the Epsom Derby, as well as similar entries in the Gold Cup, Grand National and Champion Hurdle.In late 2008, with the nationalisation of Bradford and Bingley, which had provided them with most of their finance, the couple announced, contrary to previous statements, that they would begin selling some of their portfolio, with 18 houses going on sale at the end of their fixed-rate term in March 2009, and 50 further houses to follow. A local estate agent (ASM Residential) that represent the Wilsons indicated that resale prospects were "poor" with prices having fallen 20%, and few buyers.Also in 2008, Fergus Wilson was found guilty of using a mobile phone while driving and fined £565 and had his licence endorsed with three points. He had pleaded not guilty and claimed that he had been singing into a drinks carton that he was holding to the side of his head.On 24 August 2009, Judith Wilson had a court case thrown out by the judge. Wilson had demanded £3,000 for a new bathroom suite from a tenant who had damaged a cistern lid. The tenant had offered to replace the lid. In a written judgment, Judge Christopher Cagney branded the claim "exaggerated", and said he "had doubts" that work to replace the bathroom suite would ever be carried out.In September 2009 it was reported in The Times that they planned to sell their entire portfolio. It was subsequently revealed that the couple were in arrears on their mortgage payments to the amount of £350,000.Fergus Wilson initially proposed to stand as an independent candidate in the 2012 elections for the Police and Crime Commissioner of Kent Police, but in the end did not stand.At the time of writing (29 August 2013) the Wilsons have not paid £3000 court costs awarded to a gas engineer after they summonsed him for issuing an 'At Risk' notice on a flue at one of their properties that was dangerous and not in line with British Standards. They had tried to claim £5000 from him for making the property unrentable.In January 2014 Fergus Wilson sent eviction notices to every tenant that received housing benefit and alerted letting agents that he would no longer accept tenants who require housing benefit. This amounted to at least 200 evictions.".
