Knew they were ludicrous but for a cupboard, kensington aint that great!

I used to pay £950 a month rent

[Delmont St Xavier]

The worst thing about this 'flat' is that someone, somewhere will actually fork out money for it! It just amazes me that someone would. I know its in a fashionable and much sought after area but jings help ma boab.

Seriously, if any of you had that kind of cash and wouldn't miss it, would you buy it?

[onyirtodd]

Anyone else recall "Brothel in Pimlico"?

[HollowHorn]

I imagine if you lived out in the sticks (and could afford it) it would make an excellent wee sleep over place, given the price of hotels.

[The Voyageur]

We should all chip in and have a party.

Sleepover is right, barely enough room to fit a sleeping bag!

[HollowHorn]

Juat think though, Gordon, if you could afford it, no more hotel bills for you and yours & it can only increase in value year after year.

[gordon]

Hmm, possibly. But it wouldn't be too suited to anything worthwhile, one wrong move, you chib yourself on a dado rail and its game over!

Was summit similar on homes under the hammer the other night, a couple of developers bought 2 "studio" flats for £180k without seeing them, they were just an old cupboard converted to a "flats" with a mezzanine sleeping area.

They must be stupid to spend that sorta money for a box.

[Alan L]

I viewed a "flat" in Cathcart last night that was probably twice the size of that at best. It was an absolute pit as expected but the size really surprised me, and not in a good way. Offers over 45 grand.



Almost makes £175K for a shoebox in Chelsea seem like good value.

As part of an interesting HG experiment, you could all give me £1 a week and I could get a fancy flat in London.

You'd be in more comfortable surroundings if it was £10 a week each. Don't sell yourself short by any means, especially when somebody else is picking up the tab

Hmm. 1800 users, £10 a week each. Roughly £6 million per year. We could buy a fair wee HG holiday pad for that .
[edit] Aye, alright, divide that by seven

[Field Marshall Shug]

OK, so it's agreed then. You will all give me £2 a week. It's very economical. £2 a week is only 8 pence a day.
