Property mogul Christian Candy, whose luxury developments attracted some of the highest prices ever paid for London real estate, has sold and mortgaged assets worth an estimated £340m in less than a year.
The sum is a significant part of the£ 600m joint fortune Christian and his elder brother and business partner, Nick, disclosed to a British court last year.
A trawl through the land registry, property websites and news reports suggests that eight homes and developments have been sold, borrowed against or placed on the market between July 2016 and June of this year.
