MY BUSINESS ASSETS

I own studio flats all the way to 5 bed houses. The background image is a block of 16 one bed flats I used to own in Derbyshire.


I currently own 200 properties in Essex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, County Durham, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, Argyll & Bute, Glasgow City & Stirlingshire.

MY HOME

I own a beautiful 7,000 sq ft. seven bed house in Cambridgeshire (pictured). I bought it for £555,000 back in 2007. I have spent over £250,000 on it to make it like a true footballers pad. I also have planning for a 3,000 sqft. leisure complex to be built to include a swimming pool, games room, cinema room and salon.

MY HOLIDAY HOME

I have a flat in Benalmadena, Spain, and we visit it about 10 times a year. It’s a small one bed, two bath apartment with great facilities and 24 hour concierge. I have my touchscreen laptop permanently stationed there so I can do work when I feel like it.

MY CARS

For all the petrol heads out there, here is my car portfolio:

  • Rolls Royce Phantom
  • Bentley Azure
  • Range Rover Revere Supercharged
  • Smart Brabus
  • Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe (on order)

If you see me on the road, don’t be shy and toot "hello!" Now I will level with you - I am obsessed with cars. I have no idea why. I hardly drive them and when I do I rarely go above 70 mph. I spend hours looking at cars on Ebay and Autotrader looking for my next target. I have also bought around 70 old Mercedes, Bentley, Rolls Royce and BMWs to try my hand at classic car dealing.

MY REGISTRATION PLATES

I own four quality registration plates and some cheeky plates as well. My quality plates include:

  • 1RJX
  • RJZ 1
  • 1XAJ
  • RJI5

I go for “RJ” plates as that is how you pronounce my name. Collectively they are worth about £100,000, however, it is unlikely I would ever sell them unless I got an offer I couldn’t refuse. The other cheeky plates are:

  • WR65TLE
  • CH65LEA
  • DE13TOR
  • H A11UJA
  • GR0 2 PRO
  • SS51TTT
  • A D55 LET

...and a few others. Let me know if any of them catch your eye, as I want to sell them. I dabbled a bit with investing in number plates bit I realised I wasn’t half as good as investing in property. I quite like DE13TOR…..as I have a bit of debt(!), however, I don’t have a car new enough to put it on as I am allergic to depreciation. You will gather that from reading my advice. Have you had a chance to read any of it yet?
