Just for pleasure. Ours!
Mailonline: "a strain on our relationship"
From the article:
"We'd always played around in property privately. But then in 2003, Grant picked up the ball properly and ran with it. You have to take your hat off to him - he created a very successful company in a very short time."
"Property is all about maths. In a growing market, everything works very well. Everyone had a contingency plan for a declining market, allowing for falls of about 15 per cent. But no one had plans for Armageddon, for the whole thing falling off a cliff."
They "fell off a cliff" and had to move from a £10m mansion to a £6m house . . . without a swimming pool!

"I am sitting in our €6million [£5million] chateau in Megeve in the Alps right now. I will sue anyone who says that Imagine Homes is in financial difficulty. We are 20 per cent owned by HBOS and we have huge profits that have yet to materialise."

Bit late then. Property genius? I don't think so.
"Property is all about maths"
And you're evidently crap at it.

Poor Anthea she will probably have to live off her Caymans trust.
That was the best story I have read in a long time, hope it gets worse for them and they downgrade to a two up two down like the REAL people.

Turner & Bovey, the Wilsons, The Candy Brothers, Dubai, all good stuff.
Don't these people remember Olympia & York and Donald Trump going down (and, to be fair, somehow coming back)?
