The ridiculously expensive flat thread.

[Pipbin]

Would you look at what £1.25 million can get you! www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-51813158.html

Why so many chairs in a small flat? www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-50981363.html

A snip at £50 shy of one million. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-49048666.html

(yes I know that for many people trying to afford anything in London is a real problem)

I love how they include the foyer and gym in the pictures of this flat so it doesn't look like a million pounds for a space the size of my living room. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48649741.html

Omg they're bonkers! That's a lot of chairs!

I love a sleeping platform:

That gym one is 16x12!

I lived in Queens Gate Gardens once

Its madness isn't it! That is tiny!

Which flat is that? I have no idea where they are; other than London of course.

The sleeping platform one is queens club gdns

Queens gate not queens club, that's w14

And what is in Queens Gate that is worth spending that money to sleep on a shelf in the kitchen?

Well, one is near Harrods, Pigbin, and all the other naice shops.

The gold fittings in that Battersea Power station flat are seriously nasty.

[Hark at me, turning my nose up at the bathroom taps of a million pound studio ]

Now you really aren't trying...
www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-46535317.html This one bedroom place is a snip at £9.25million. And very shiny with it.

Surely if you live in a studio you won't be inviting 20 people round to sit in all your chairs?! I'm so confused by that. Id have a bit of plaster board and a separate bedroom knocked up in no time

Lord, that squillionaire's birdnest is ugly, Perspicacia.

That £9m is single aspect, too. Outrageous.

I count 28 chairs, possibly ore on the balcony. If you look on the floor plan, they're actually drawn in.

I didn't count toilets, although they're always an option if you run out of seating options.

Imagine siting up in bed in the middle of the night and cracking your head on the ceiling!

This has got five bedrooms and a massive living room, so is admittedly pretty roomy for a London flat. However, it's also £30 million, so not all that good value despite the five bedrooms.

Plus that massive living room has a double-eight ceiling - you could always pop a shelf up if you wanted bedroom number six, but it would be a bugger to heat.

No balcony. And awful decor.

Perspicacia that one bedroom/£9 million job is not only single aspect - looking onto an unlovely traffic junction at Knightsbridge tube, not the Hyde Park side, but also has service charges of ~£34 thousand a year. Nice!

I gather that that development is a creepy wasteland at night because hardly anybody lives there - it's all investment buyers who rarely show up.

That miniscule one with the communal gym in Ebury gardens has no windows. Who the fuck would spend a million on a shoebox with no windows??

Oh how wrong you are, MsSampson. It is the basement on the lower ground floor, and benefits from a hole in the ground which will catch all the litter, leaves and filth from the street a light well over the tiny slice of cellar yard next to the room terrace.

The 'light well' is just odd. I can see it getting full of litter.

I don't think the Joubert Place or the Rutland Place ones are overpriced for the location to be honest. They are also pretty big studios and would command good rents for the outlay. I think the Battersea Power Station one is over priced for being on the wrong side of the river.

It's all relative but those are very very prime areas.

They might be not over priced for the location but they are a stupid amount of money for a shoe box.
