Landlord Fergus Wilson says he will appeal after a court found him guilty of assaulting an estate agent in Folkestone.
Wilson, 65, represented himself at a trial at Folkestone Magistrates Court last week after previously pleading not guilty to punching estate agent Daniel Wells in the face at the PLS Property Letting and Sales office in Folkestone on 19 January last year.
As reported on Landlord Today earlier this week, the court found Wilson guilty of assault and ordered him to pay a £500 fine, £150 compensation, a £50 victim surcharge and court costs of £950.
It’s the second time Wilson, who owns around 1,000 properties in Kent, has hit the headlines this year. In January he courted controversy when he announced he was evicting all his tenants on benefits in favour of Eastern Europeans.
