Late Access Bank CEO Herbert Wigwe has been named the 7th largest foreign owner of London properties in a fresh report.
New findings have revealed the vast real estate portfolio of the late Access Bank boss, Herbert Wigwe. He has been linked to 106 luxury properties in London.
An exclusive report by The Londoner placed the deceased banker in the 7th position among top owners of prime properties in the British capital. This ranking puts him ahead of several global institutions and influential figures.
The data shows that Wigwe held more properties than the Private Department of the President of the UAE. He also surpassed the Washington State Investment Board.
While John Corless topped the list with 246 properties, Wigwe’s portfolio is significant. It reflects the growing influence of private investors in London’s expensive real estate market.
Most of these properties were held through offshore companies registered in places like Jersey and the British Virgin Islands. For a long time, this structure allowed owners to keep their identities hidden.
However, a UK law passed in 2022 changed the game. It required overseas entities to declare their beneficial owners, bringing these secret holdings to light.
It would be recalled that Herbert Wigwe died tragically in February 2024. He lost his life alongside his wife and son in a helicopter crash in the United States.
The late banker left behind a legacy that spanned beyond the Nigerian banking sector. His property holdings in London show the extent of his investment reach.
