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.
英国最大的一单房产打包出售正在上演，总价30亿英镑。
出生于伊朗的房产大亨文森特•琴奎茨正出售名下25万处住宅和公寓，占英国房产市场总存量的1%。
据英国《金融时报》报道，这些房产只面向主权债务基金买家。
其中40%的房产位于英格兰东南部地区，另有1.5万处房产位于伦敦。
琴奎茨是代表他的家族基金出售这些房产的，他已向投资银行瑞德集团寻求帮助出售房产，这些房产负债大约20亿英镑。
房产平均剩余租期为60年。到期后，业主可决定收回或继续出租。
琴奎茨告诉《金融时报》，这些房产可以给买家一份安全和长期的英国房产升值回报。
他说，“一些买家已表示感兴趣”。他补充说还没想好怎么使用这笔收入。
英国重大诈骗案检察局调查冰岛克伊普辛银行倒闭案期间，于去年3月逮捕琴奎茨和他的兄弟罗伯茨。
他们接受了13个小时的审讯，数百份文档和计算机文件被查封，但两人最终无罪释放。
琴奎茨因爱开美女如云的派对而著称。有一次，琴奎茨把参加一场派对的所有美女送到圣特罗佩购物游，并给每人两千英镑。
他在1956年出生于德黑兰，1980年搬至伦敦，时任保诚贝奇证券公司高级副总裁，大学曾就读于波士顿、蒙特利和纽约。
