Added quotation code to this but it isn't showing up so added manually as quote taken from another site,
"According to the Land Registry, the property is owned by a company called Achilles Holdings Ltd, registered in the off-shore tax haven of Jersey. After tracking down the accounts for the Jersey company all they reveal is that the business was registered in June 2013 and chose to hide its true ownership behind HSBC’s private banking services."
"Except a recent change in UK law to combat money laundering requires such companies to declare their “beneficial owners” if they want to buy or sell property. Which is how, now the property is on the market, it’s possible to find out what the owners have tried to hide for decades: the giant home in central London, apparently left empty during a housing crisis, is ultimately controlled by two relatively obscure Dubai-based royals: 74-year-old Sheikh Manna Al Maktoum and 33-year-old Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum."
