Why would it have cost the UK taxpayer a lot of money?

It was only Mortgage Express and the Wilson's themselves who were exposed to the Wilson's property empire.

Having to pay housing benefit to the Wilson's for occupancy of Kent homes that had they not been hoovered up by what are by all accounts pretty awful landlords, might actually be starter homes for young families, is costing the tax payer a lot of money.

Unless Fergus Wilson and Judith Wilson are now honorary wards of the State, like the Windsor's or something, I don't think their bankruptcy would especially bother anyone.[/QUOTE]


I get the impression it would bother a few on here...because you can`t lose with BTL...right? :T :T

If selling one gives hope to his followers, imagine what selling 100 will do. :rotfl:

Can't argue with the sentiment even if it is a slightly odd way to bring it to attention.

Hmmm, that was not supposed to happen according to the HPC geniuses.
Landlords were meant to panic and abandon BTL in droves, thus flooding the market with cheap properties.

So you actually believing the Fergus drivel means that there has been a substantial change in the UK rental market? :rotfl: Most people`s rent has gone nowhere in years.
