Does Malfoy own the Riddle House?

A friend of mine came up with this theory, based on the following 
quote:

<i>The wealthy man who owned the Riddle House these days neither 
lived there nor put it to any use; they said in the village that he 
kept it for 'tax reasons', though nobody was very clear what these 
might be.</i>

I just thought I would throw it up here and see if anyone else 
agrees.
