Main leasehold owners The Smiths The Birkett Smiths own properties across London through the Guernsey incorporated companies Chelsea Estates Ltd and Birkett Estates Ltd. Chelsea Estates Ltd own 30 leasehold properties and Birkett Estates Ltd own 9 leasehold properties where Wandsworth Council own the freehold. They also have a number of properties registered in their own names: Alexander Birkett Smith, his wife Helena, brother Nicholas and his wife Alexandra own 27 leasehold properties that we have found, giving a total of 66 properties. Alexander is an ex venture capitalist having worked for Rothschild’s before setting up his residential property business, with his brother, and running two farms near Scarborough which are in receipt of European Farm subsidy payments. The brothers are directors of Daleside Estates Ltd, Smith Street Ltd, Overdale Farms Ltd and Smith Street Estates Ltd. Nicholas is also a director of the Portman Hunt, a Dorset based Hunt, and Daniel Lambert Ltd along with his wife Alexandra. The Gows Looking at a single block in Putney (Sherfield Gardens), it was found that out of the 120 properties, 90 are leasehold, with 62 having an owner with a different address (or known to live elsewhere). Of these 62 properties, Charles and Karin Gow own 40 with Charles alone owning 35 of these. He owns KCG Property (www.kcgproperty.com), a Roehampton Lettings and Management company, and both are directors of PCB (Surrey) LLP. If the original figures from Wandsworth are to be believed, in which only one owner has more than 32 properties, then Charles Gow may be the owner of the 93 properties mentioned.

Palmyra Properties is Jersey based, CPIF Property, incorporated in Guernsey, Affordable Property Investments incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and Skyprops is incorporated in Mauritius.
