[ecis2016.org] While Vijay Mallya’s company United Breweries (UB) Group gained profits, the real estate enthusiast purchased some of the most high-value properties across the world, including islands and castles.
Vijay Mallya was often branded as ‘the King of Good Times’ for his flamboyant lifestyle. Before everything went haywire, Mallya, who is wanted in India for alleged fraud and money laundering charges involving his troubled carrier Kingfisher Airlines, gave stiff competition to Bollywood celebrities in terms of media coverage and publicity.

Mallya was often compared to British entrepreneur Richard Branson. However, his troubles began following defaulted loans exceeding Rs 9,000 crores. Mallya subsequently left India in March 2016.
During his good times, the UB Group (United Breweries) chairman purchased a variety of super expensive houses from northern California’s Napa Valley to a condo in New York’s Trump Towers and a house in Johannesburg’s Nettleton Road. Despite all the allegations against him in India with some of his properties getting auctioned, Mallya still owns a multi-million-pound house in the UK, where he has been living with his family since leaving India.

Vijay Mallya house: Cornwall Terrace property in London
The liquor baron currently lives in his UK house, located in one of central London’s prime hubs, Regent’s Park. The 18/19 Cornwall Terrace property lies minutes away from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Estimated to be worth millions of pounds, Mallya’s London house may soon be taken by the bank that gave loans to Mallya to purchase the ultra-premium property.
Considered as a ‘high class house for Mallya and his family members and UB Group corporate guests’, the Cornwall Terrace property, which was built in 1821-23 with the designs of architect Decimus Burton, is owned by Mallya through Rose Capital Ventures, a British Virgin Islands firm linked to his family trust.

In January 2022, the UK High Court ruled against him over a dispute with the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). The HC refused Mallya’s request for a stay on repaying the UBS loan after he failed to meet a previous repayment deadline in April 2020. The five-year-period on a loan estimated to be 2.5 million British pound from the UBS expired in 2017.
Although the court order gave UBS an ‘immediate right to possession’ in 2019, the bank has not been able to take control due to difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Mallya family is likely to hold this prime property after a British court said refinancing of the loans was a ‘permissible transaction’ as it meant investment in a prime London property.
