Sitting on the bok of the day
Holy shit! I never thought I would live to see the day when a two-bedroomed flat in Nine Elms was £11 million.
I would want a reduction on the price, maybe to a cool ten million, for the 'Indoor/Outdoor Swimming Poo' as per the advert.

Looks like a grim place to live right now. All the green space they're getting for the whole area is this new 'Linear Park' which might end up a bit like the QE Olympic park i.e. not very park like. I suspect the whole area will end up a bit like the Battersea riverside developments......dead & soulless.
I don't know what I expected for 11m quid but I guess it wasn't that.
It's just an ordinary and not very large or upmarket flat.
The super rich are getting ripped off proper [emoji41]

Actually, might as well flounce.
That has to be a decimal point error.

Someone has got the price wrong and then done a square footage calculation which incorporates the error.
Do a search for flats in London in the £8m to £10m range. That's penthouse category. Private roof terraces, double height rooms, multiple bedrooms and certainly not crappy little kitchens at the end of weird triangular lounges. No, that's a £1m flat.

Yeah, here it is at the right price. It still clicks through despite saying error http://www.right move.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-36299877.html

no super rich person would touch a flat that cost a mere £1m.

yes. but that's the way of the world.
Sure is, you get no separate kitchen and a crappy little balcony. Do people really pay a million to live in places like this?
I could kind of comprehend it if it was in a prime area...but still...

At least that place was relatively well insulated, modern, had two beds. Get this, in Peckham

No.
Someone might have bought it because it was a prefab. I am sure that pushed up the price.

i'm sure it's the land they paid for, not the building.

Hardly getting over it.
Yep. It's a corner plot, so if they're looking to build on-street terraces/"town houses", they can squeeze 2 or 3 gardenless homes into that piece of land, or even a small block of 6+ flats.

It's difficult to feel sorry for the owners, but someone has cocked up (didnt want to start a new thread just for this)

Well, the management of the project is part of the work, surely.

Hardly getting over it.
Given the scarcity of acro-props in the wreckage/visible in the semi-intact rooms, then the job was either being skimped, or the lack of effective support during the excavations was deliberate.
It wouldn't be the first time a property-owner had got creative with renovations in order to end up with a cleared plot.
