spyguy Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 OK, why all of a sudden? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=POSTCODE^4197947&insId=1&sortType=6&numberOfPropertiesPerPage=10 Who's the distressed seller? Glencore? Arabs? Candy's? - I knew they'd catch me with Holly Valance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusion of VIs Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yep. The top ones a 75M porn set. What do you recon the chances of booking a nose round are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyboy1973 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Even by the standards of London prime that 75M one seems remarkably overpriced. What are you getting for your money? 5 bedrooms, 4 of which aren't that big, a massive hallway, a small "cinema" (1 couch's worth) and a couple of small balconies. You can do an awful lot better than that for a lot less, even in that area (a garden would be nice, for a start). Nuts. Be interesting to see what this one sells for (is this a second sale now, or is this from new?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Bunny Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The £9.5m one: £950k per photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Bunny Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 £75,000,000 and the sellers think the stamp duty might be an issue. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janch Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Perhaps they're BTLs and the seller's got wind of the coming tax changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damik Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 OK, why all of a sudden? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=POSTCODE^4197947&insId=1&sortType=6&numberOfPropertiesPerPage=10 Who's the distressed seller? Glencore? Arabs? Candy's? - I knew they'd catch me with Holly Valance. To be fair Candy's published in Jan 2014 that the Prime London will crash. So they actually got it right ... http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/construction-property/article3943342.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what this one sells for (is this a second sale now, or is this from new?). You could buy this place for for about 15% of that price for example: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-44248093.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This time Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 You could buy this place for for about 15% of that price for example: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-44248093.html A practically detached 5 376m2 house or a five bed apartment (can anyone read the square footage?) for six times the price. Hmm, let me think. Did anyone spot that one of the one beds was originally on for £10 million? You could nearly buy the five bed house for that!

juvenal Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) If Fergus sold 375 of his Ashford houses, he could downsize with Judith into that 75m flat.. Edited September 29, 2015 by juvenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si1 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 If Fergus sold 375 of his Ashford houses, he could downsize with Judith into that 75m flat.. Which would double in price on 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Exile Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 £8.9m SD on the £75m asking price-£8.9m transaction tax to the treasury for the "privilege" of buying a flat!I can't get my head round it. Wonder what the service charge is like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 £5m for the flat, £70m for the address. A bit puzzled why Hyde Park should command a premium, a busy thoroughfare for traffic, modern and ugly. I can sort of get why you might want to pay a premium for the traffic free Georgian Squares in St James and Belgravia...but Knightsbridge is a bit chavie.

You know they way houses are more expensive if there's a Waitrose nearby - their nearest supermarket is Harrods.

You (and I) are thinking like people who do normal stuff and would buy a flat to live in it year round. As you say, one of the many leafy Georgian squares nearby would be much nicer places to live but, if you're a billionaire type with property all over the planet who expects to stay there a few nights a year if at all, maybe the address itself (1 Hype Park, next to Harrods etc.) is more important?
