It has also been reported that Gilmour had to sue the government. The same media contacted experts on the subject to clarify the situation. Nick Brett of Brett Wilson LLP said: “Imagine thinking that you have owned a house for over a decade, particularly one worth between £10 and £15 million pounds, but then when you want to sell it you discover that you can’t because, in fact, technically legal ownership may have passed to the State.”
Apparently this is what is happening, well GIlmour purchased this property in 2011 through the company Hoveco Ltd. However, when The company was dissolved and was not responsible for transferring the property.. It is said that in the laws of the United Kingdom it is clear that if the assets of a company are not transferred before it is dissolved, these assets become the crown’s.
