If I was spending my 5 million, I'd want a proper hallway and not front door into the living room.

Love the mortgage projection. With half a million as deposit you can expect monthly repayments of £28.5k over 25 years 😂😂

I've lived in North London for 20 years and thought I was immune to silly prices, but that really is nuts.

I'd save a million and buy this place: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/139953674

This! I mean it doesn't look like a terrace inside but who wants to walk through the front door straight into a space supposedly for relaxing? You'd think the money they've spent on the fixtures and fittings they could have made a vestibule at the very least.

I wouldn't thank anyone for a cinema room, no matter how much the house was worth.

HemlockSoup · 20/02/2024 21:24

If I had five million whole English pounds to spend on a house it would most definitely not be that one.

Kta7 · 20/02/2024 21:31

For that money I’d be wanting a door on my ensuite lav…

11NigelTufnel · 20/02/2024 21:35

There is no parking. For 5 million pounds, I would at least want a driveway! Where are they going to put their range rover and tesla? I also live in a terrace with no parking, but my house is worth considerably less than that one. Many many times less.

DayAndAge · 20/02/2024 21:45

I really like it. The bunk beds are adorable. But yeah if I actually had 5 mil for a house then I wouldn't springing for this one, there are better things for the money even in London.

This is quite near me and I would say it was overpriced for the area.

Most people park on the street in London though so I wouldn’t say the lack of parking is odd.

RamblingAroundTheInternet · 20/02/2024 19:02

Quite and no parking (certainly wouldn’t want to be getting the tube or buses if I was that well off). Also in a city with a serious knife crime epidemic.

Nuts!

This is a load of bollocks though. London public transport is excellent so plenty of people don’t even have a car. And there is not an epidemic of knife crime unless you are involved with gangs (awful though that is), which someone living in a £5m house is unlikely to be.

In a lot of the rest of the country anything over about £300,000 comes with parking. The very idea that you could spend that much and not have parking seems madness.

Its Queens Park which is a pretentious part of London full of trustafarians, creative and media types. Its pricey because of the proximiy to Golbourne Road and Notting Hill but actually apart from a couple of good pubs, restaurants and shops and the park its not super nice - right next to Kilburn and Willesden. Its a fashionable interior that's a la mode but it will date. I suspect they will get a good price for it.

LauderSyme · 20/02/2024 22:02

That is kind of insane! I grew up familiar with that part of London and it really wasn't much of an area to write home about back then. I'd be surprised if they achieve that selling price, even now.

But as I said, a lot of people don’t have cars. Only 56% of London households do compared to more than 80% nationally.

bookworm14 · 20/02/2024 22:11

You must live near me qpmum23! I agree with your assessment - we love living here.

alwaysmovingforwards · 20/02/2024 22:17

Optimistic pricing.

TheSameClip · 20/02/2024 22:18

I grew up a stone’s throw from that road, when it was wall to wall Irish immigrants (including my family!) and nobody wanted to live there.

Funny how times change. The 3-bed council flat I grew up in round the corner recently sold for 1.5 million.

Bouledeneige · 20/02/2024 22:20

Oh wow lorien9 we posted the same one! Great minds.

Belovedbagle · 20/02/2024 22:23

Think it's over priced even for Queens Park. Prob worth 4.25 but not to my taste anyway. Prices have gone crazy. Couple of nice restaurants and that's it! Near Kilburn.. no thanks.

AlohaOptima · 20/02/2024 22:25

I much prefer the glass one posted by two separate posters.

the other one up thread has such a strange layout.

FuzzyManul · 20/02/2024 22:28

The QP house gives me uncanny valley vibes. It was obviously very expensively decorated but it doesn't look like a place where people would live as nothing about it looks comfortable. Rather, it looks somewhere that would be rented out for photo shoots and film sets. Or perhaps a corporate buy where people would be housed short-term.

Februarysiceandsleet · 20/02/2024 22:42

10 drachma a day.

Is there rear access to the garden or do you have to take the bins out through the house? Perhaps that oddly shaped section in the front garden is the bin store.
