For sale? I'm buying

After reading today that the SIP bid 'values the Tote at £230m' which comprises a £90m payment to Treasury and £90m in charitable contributions made up in £4m chunks per annum (and therefore paid over 23 years), plus £50m in debt, I would like to announce that I am buying Sir Martin Broughton's house. I gather it is on the market for £4.7m, and I have heard that someone else is willing to pay £4.8million in cash. Well, I 'value' it at £5m, so I am going to be the winning bid. Just to be clear, though, I am only paying £2m for it, and the remainder will comprise a further £2m in charitable payments paid over the next 23 years in sums of £87,000 a time. Plus, I will raise £1m in debt. To be honest, I don't actually have the £2m that I plan to pay of the £5m either, but it's fine because I am going to float my share of the house at a price which over-values the house relative to all the other houses in the county. Thankfully I am sure I will get it done anyway. Just in case I don't, though, I have had my £2m share underwritten by a developer. Have no concerns about him wanting to sell it in a year or two if I don't raise the money, having converted it into flats in order to be able to sell for a big profit. I'm not too worried about him forcing me to fire all the long-serving domestic staff in the immediate term, either. In the medium- to long term, I plan to grow the number of people who work on the house. His children need not be concerned because I will give them 10% of the house in the event that I do actually succeed in raising my share. As I'm the one who is going to be living it, though, I'm afraid they won't be getting any real say in the way I redecorate it. I'll tell them they do, but actually the other people who are (bigger - shh!) shareholders will have conflicting interests. Like, as I say, turning it into flats. I'm sure the Broughton family will be delighted.
