Not many people own a property next door to a Champions League club. Yet developer Kash Mumtaz knows the sights, sounds and smells of St James' Park better than most. For good reason.
To say his Grade II listed building at St James' Terrace is in the shadow of the cathedral on the hill would be an understatement. Who needs a season ticket when the East Stand is, quite literally, on your doorstep?
This is a noisy neighbour with a difference come match day, but you suspect Mumtaz and his tenants would not have it any other way. In fact, the Newcastle United fan is 'very supportive' of the club's wish to one day make the stadium even bigger.
