They're about to pocket £90m after building an empire of 900 homes... so why are Baron and Baroness Buy-to-Let in such a grump?


Fergus and Judith Wilson, former teachers, rode the great property wave of the early Noughties to make a buy-to-let fortune from the once-dilapidated towns near the Channel Tunnel rail terminal at Ashford. Now in their mid-60s, dogged by complaining tenants and court cases (Mr Wilson, a 22-stone former boxer, was convicted of assaulting one of his former letting agents), and criticised for evicting 200 tenants on housing benefits to make way for ‘hard-working’ Poles, they plan to retire.
