It's been a year since renowned businesswoman and trouble-shooter Ruth Watson advised the owners of stately British homes how to diversify and raise revenue to secure the future of their unique properties for generations to come. Albury Park is one of Surrey's most important and prestigious country houses. Nigel and Jennifer Whalley live at the Grade II listed Tudor mansion and bought the mansion four years ago. The Whalleys own the freehold, and live in one of its apartments, but they shared the rest of the house with a number of elderly residents. The business worked well until the elderly guests moved on, forcing the Whalleys to buy back all the flats, putting them millions in debt and desperate to find a way to claw that money back. With an army of 21 staff and a heating bill in the tens of thousands, Ruth was keen that the Whalleys create a show flat and stop wasting time, but did they take her frank advice and manage to sell some of the flats?
