A mysterious figure calmly says thank you in Mandarin down the phone, hangs up, and turns on his leather swivel chair to look at a wall of TVs announcing the nationalisation of yet another industry. Curiously he seems to be gently stroking a large horseradish....

peanut- posted:A £700,000 apartment in Notting Hill is a ~500 sq ft studio. Aye and don't forget the service charges - £3k p.a. wouldn't be untypical! Not defending Lady Manners here, but quoting the value of a London property is meaningless for the majority of people who (a) do not live in London and (b) have zero idea of exactly how much it costs to own or rent property in London (see the oft mentioned "millionaire" J Corbsta with his £1m Islington house that would cost about £50k in the butt end of Cardiff and probably cost him about the same when he bought it.) £700k round here gets you a 4/5 bed /2-3 reception freehold country home with land, not a 40-80sqm leasehold apartment with ongoing service charges. The other catch is how long is the lease? Any flat property that looks remotely reasonable price in London is often on a very short lease.

If they had used the sydney harbour bridge they could at least claim it was made in the UK. But I would think the golden gate bridge would have been made using US steel.

Bit like Corbyn's "Million pound Islington mansion" or whatever the gently caress they called it. "He's worth 2 million quid!" Yeah 'cause he bought a house in Islington that he's had for like 30 years, plus he's near 70 years old and he's got a pension that's built up over the same amount of time.

jaete posted:How the gently caress would 700 grand be enough for any kind of snobby apartment in Notting Hill? She lives in a medium size studio flat? People really, really overstate the prices of flats in London apart from in a couple of postcodes. https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/59949893/?featured=1&utm_content=featured_listing - here's a 3 bed mansion flat in Bayswater (and when old money tell you they live in Notting Hill they definitely actually live in Bayswater or Queensway) for £600k. https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/60025946/?search_identifier=6da744008edbd6e0d0845610c42f3c31 - a more traditional Notting Hill 2-bed flat above a shot for £600k There's half a dozen other 2- and 3-bed flats for sale in Notting Hill right now for around £700k, in fact that seems to be about the median price for a subdivided flat. Of course this is still an utterly loving ridiculous sum that's out of reach of all but the very richest, even in London, but the old million-quid broom cupboard stories are mostly in Knightsbridge or Kensington where they're just being used in international money laundering (or used for servants of the various billionaires who have literally no idea what they're paying, just that they want their personal nose hair trimmer at immediate beck and call before they head off to pay £5k for a gold-leaf steak).

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/59949893/?featured=1&utm_content=featured_listing - here's a 3 bed mansion flat in Bayswater (and when old money tell you they live in Notting Hill they definitely actually live in Bayswater or Queensway) for £600k. First of those: 49 years of lease left. Def wouldn't buy Second is a share of freehold though. Cheaper than I'd have expected for sure, has a bloody garden too, the works What I've been thinking about personally though is places with no neighbours above or below (fully detached would be even better but can't get that in London with normal-person budget). How far would I need to go from zone 1 before townhouse slices or whatever become affordable? At least zone 3 or something I guess?

jaete posted:First of those: 49 years of lease left. Def wouldn't buy Define "affordable". Cottage flats and dockers (both basically terraces) go for >£400k in E14 all the time because they're too small to be divvied into flats. If you want under £250k and no neighbours there's houseboats aplenty in Zone 2 but that's probably not what you're after. I was digging around because I know someone who got a semi-detached in Plaistow for about £300k which is probably as good as you're going to get, but I got distracted by this: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/59234562/?search_identifier=f4f5a4add323153b57081032c38be3e8 and demand the solidarity fund pay my deposit on it.

Go to south London to places that connect to the centre via the overground. Garden and 3 bed for 450k or so if you go for zone 3/4. Around Plumstead/West Ham might get it even cheaper and that's on the underground in zone 3.
