I love looking on Rightmove for random stuff mainly tiny London flats.

Well I found this interesting bed
This teeny tiny flat

What stuff have you found?

That thing in Pimlico is more like a bedsit broom cupboard.

Elledouble · 10/01/2016 23:20

That Pimlico flat is insane. Smaller than my bedroom and costs over twice the price of my whole house.

I used to have a friend who 'had the use of' a flat in Pimlico. It wasn't a particularly fancy flat, but it blows my mind how much it must be worth.

MrSlant · 10/01/2016 23:21

Well it's a while since I did holiday jobs in my dad's office ('a while' may refer to the time it takes continents to shift Grin) so I guess I'm allowed to miss rules changing. That said it seemed like a good and sensible rule to me!

For some reason though these Rightmove details are making me hanker after my city living, flat dweller days. Would love a lottery win so I can have my house in the sticks and a city pad.

Sillybillybonker · 10/01/2016 23:21

You could put something hard on top of the bed and viola! it becomes a dining table ;)

BYOSnowman · 10/01/2016 23:24

I meant from living space - I thought fire regs meant you had to have an exit - I'm sure my friend had to go through a huge rigmarole to section off her kitchen from the front hallway

Where would you put your clothes? If it was a weekday home for someone who works long hours (mp!) you would probably rip the kitchen out for storage!

Oliversmumsarmy · 10/01/2016 23:28

I Think whoever designed the ops first one missed a trick. Change the kitchen area into a bedroom area adding a stud Wall where the dividing units are and possibly a stud wall and a door to divide the area off then move the kitchen into the bed area and you have a one bedder as opposed to a studio.

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 10/01/2016 23:29

Ooh, this is just the thread for me - I came across this just before Xmas. Only 'meh' bit is the bathroom. Not sure what they were thinking. Maybe they ran out of budget or summat.

peppielillyan · 10/01/2016 23:30

pretty cute flats, but too expensive...

grumpysquash2 · 10/01/2016 23:35

OMG 9 square metres for £300k.
That is completely outrageous.
I used to have a flat that was 48 square metres - a 1 bed - and it was all pretty small, not really big enough for two people and belongings as a main home (fine for just me). But 9 sq m. You would get cabin fever within about 5 mins.

Pipbin · 10/01/2016 23:49

I love that Tension, the terrace especially. Very busy though.

That second one had two floor plans, lol, two, for a cupboard sized room with an en-suite, why does it need two floor plans? Grin

Devora · 10/01/2016 23:54

When I was young and very poor I used to rent a flat with the toilet and shower IN the kitchen. I'm not claiming it was legal, though Grin

Devora · 10/01/2016 23:56

Tension, that flat is amazing. A bit wood-y for me but I could learn to live with it to get those views Grin. Agree that the bathroom isn't quite working...

RaphaellaTheSpanishWaterDog · 10/01/2016 23:59

Ooh yes Tension, that's right up my street - or rather I wish it was!

MrSlant, I'm the same - in our last village (Wiltshire) we had friends with a gorgeous medieval thatched cottage that was their weekend home and during the week they lived in their London pad - a mansion flat near the King's Road Envy

sparechange · 10/01/2016 23:59

Tension
The staircases in that flat are giving me the heebie jeebies
Imagine falling down them Confused

Whatsername24 · 11/01/2016 00:00

Tension that flat is incredible. I must buy a lottery ticket this week!

Devora · 11/01/2016 00:04

You're quite right, sparechange, I hadn't noticed that before.

You've just saved me from a very expensive mistake Wink

Kryptonite · 11/01/2016 00:37

Gawd, am I glad I don't live in London. That's absolutely insane price for what it is!
Here, you're 10 minutes from a city centre but also 10 minutes from beautiful countryside too.
£315,000 gets you a beautiful, detached, 4 bedroomed house with extensive gardens near here! just looked to see

Aussiemum78 · 11/01/2016 00:40

God that last one. If you have five million pounds, go buy a one million pound house (which will be bigger) outside of London and just retire?

I don't understand the point of city living when it involves paying millions and working your arse off to live in a shack.

TensionWheelsCoolHeels · 11/01/2016 02:13

It's great isn't it? But £5m is ridiculous no matter how fab it is!

I spent ages trawling through loads of £m+++++++ properties and they all have a samey-ness about them. Huge fuck off kitchen (that's clearly never used), indoor (teeny) pools, small gyms/big mirrors, and the must-have private cinema bleurgh. That flat was just different enough to make me think 'yup that's me to a tee if you ignore the bathroom Grin

I must get that winning lottery ticket to winalot sharpish, I'm anonymous enough here for no one to realise it was me!!! Wink

Pipbin · 11/01/2016 07:04

I see the Pimlico one says that it's set off I first floor half landing! Is that some kind of selling point?

OP posts:
amysmummy12345 · 11/01/2016 07:09

The cupboard flat is three and a half times more expensive than we paid for our three bed house with massive garden!!! Crazy!

Pipbin · 11/01/2016 12:51

And you can't even park!

mrsmortis · 11/01/2016 14:22

what is it with over exposing photos? Is it meant to make the place look more valuable? Particularly on the Pimlico flat and the one after it.

Pipbin · 11/01/2016 21:04

I think that's to make it look like anything other than a pokey cupboard.
