How much?! The stupidly priced flats and houses thread.

I love spending time looking at property porn on Rightmove - especially stupidly priced properties in London.

£8,950,00 for a two bed flat
2 bed mews house £6.5 mil
£3.6 mil for a flat over a shop!

Am alone in spending an evening looking at stuff like this?

This is just shocking. Why are people paying these prices? It is madness. Utter madness!

As someone currently looking to buy (not in London, thank God), can I just make a plea to all fellow buyers: PLEASE STOP PAYING THESE STUPID PRICES!! We then might be in with a chance of bringing property prices down to a sensible level.

Rant over.

I think it's not 'normal' people buying stuff like this.
London seems to be a market to itself.

Average London price is over 500k now.

Even if I could, I wouldn't live there.

The 3.6m is for the whole six storey unit, the shop, plus an investment property bundle of 2x bedsits and 1x 2 bed flat, so actually not that screamingly crazy.

It's mental isn't it? Still love living in London though!

Pipbin · 16/02/2015 23:52

Ah. That sounds better Cheese.
Any stupidly priced stuff elsewhere in the country? I didn't really want to start a 'isn't London crazy' thread.

The first one works out at over a million pounds a room!
Makes my 16rooms for half a million quid seem amazing value + 1.5acres of land for free. London prices are crazy.

Not everyone in London owns their own home many people still live in social housing but yes rents are also high

These sort of properties often go to investors or owners from abroad though. (Russian, Chinese, Middle Eastern).

But yes - it is crazy
