Overseas buyers who will leave it empty

Tories need to stop picking on the foreign workers we actually need the spouses of people who already live here and start kicking out the wankers who would spend this kind of money on this kind of tasteless tat.

( I cannot work out how to punctuate that sentence, apologies!)

It's One Hyde Park....always one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) properties in London, which is expensive anyway.

I wouldn't...but I haven't the budget. Clearly someone has!

megletthesecond · 06/12/2023 06:54

Someone wanting to park their wealth there for a bit. They won't be living there.

Why is such an expensive property even on Rightmove?? This is surely not how the uber-wealthy buy and sell property. Pictures 3 and 5 might be of the flat itself? If so, it looks awful.

Based on the description I think they are the reception lobby

hattie43 · 06/12/2023 06:56

And its leasehold which I would not touch .

TiredandLate · 06/12/2023 07:00

I did laugh at the mortgage calculator, only £330k per month! Bargain.

BlowingAway · 06/12/2023 07:02

I've been in a few flats in that block, probably in this one.

It's impressive but not what I'd choose for the money. Very quiet too, as the owners are rarely there. I always think the concierge must be extremely bored.

BlowingAway · 06/12/2023 07:05

All the pictures are the building amenities, none are of the flat.
The building has a pool, spa rooms, a games room which has the screen, a big dining area where you can book catering from the hotel next door... Etc.
The flats often have a fancy show kitchen and then a real kitchen for staff just behind it.

The pics are shit.

If anyone posted on MN the unanimous view would be to get more, and better pics and put some planters outside

Prime money laundering spot I'd say!

LovedMyLastNameItHadToGo · 06/12/2023 07:19

You’d have to be a billionaire. Neighbours seem to include Arabs and Russians, therefore incredibly wealthy people. Madness.

LittleBearPad · 06/12/2023 07:21

Very low effort from the estate agent, definitely suggests opportunity for money laundering.

Horriblewoman · 06/12/2023 07:25

It screams money laundering

TodayInahurry · 06/12/2023 07:26

People who buy these are generally foreign, Chinese, Russian, Arabs, rulers of African countries etc. I doubt any UK citizens own them. Usually have multiple similar properties in other countries.

cheezncrackers · 06/12/2023 07:30

Who pays £60,000,000 for a flat?

Someone with an awful lot of ill-gotten money that they need to get out of their shithole country and invest in something über-safe that won't lose value.

cheezncrackers · 06/12/2023 07:31

Alternatively, a bona-fide billionaire who wants a little pied-a-terre in London.

Unusualactualname · 06/12/2023 07:38

They need to declutter. Awful photos.

spottydinosaur · 06/12/2023 07:39

Would love to know what the service charge is....

ohfook · 06/12/2023 07:54

For that price, you'd at least want a garden.

Rightmove makes for some very interesting browsing at the moment if you scour the counties and don't put an upper price limit on the search.

High-end property repossessions rise as Covid purchases go ‘horribly wrong’

Home repossessions are rising among properties worth more than £5m as even the wealthiest are hammered by a jump in mortgage rates, experts have said.

It's One Hyde Park - it's terribly declasse and pretty vile.

It's not a home and is not meant to be. It's a safety deposit box in the sky.

Autumnleavesss · 06/12/2023 08:56

I would guess that the average buyer there also has homes in LA, the Bahamas, a ski chalet somewhere (and maybe more). This will be convenient for when in London and not a permanent long term home

Knightsbridge. Lots of Saudis there. Many of whom are sons of oil barons.
