The largest portfolio¹ of homes in the UK is up for sale, and could be yours for just £3 billion.

英国最大的一单房产打包出售正在上演，总价30亿英镑。

Iranian-born tycoon² Vincent Tchenguiz is looking to sell the freehold（不动产所有权） 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 acting³ 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（租约） of 60 years, after which the properties will revert⁴ 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 decided⁵ 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 investigation⁶ by the Serious Fraud Office, into the collapse⁷ 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 adorned⁸ 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.
