It's like a starter kit for a reclusive sex cult.

Some nice touches, but having the address "375 Kensington High Street" stencilled in large letter deserves this smiley..

the seller is probally stting himself as he has to complete on it in a few months and doesnt have the cash.

and the fact its a resale, so the new buyer cant get a mortgage on it.

and the fact its olympia, not kensington.

Some nice touches, but only 4 of those photos actually show the flat, 2 of those are bathrooms... shocking way to try and sell the flat for £1.7m.

Stencilled address is in the lobby and not the flat.

Something doesn't add up there. The floor plan shows 2 bedrooms living rooms kitchen diner etc... No cinema yet picture 8 is of a cinema room?

I like the way they show 2 pictures of the lobby erm... you don't own that and then theres the gym again you don't own that.

Only in London would less than 100sqm be classed as large.

the cinema is in the development.

its an OFF PLAN purchase that someone brought a few years back, has put down his 20% and now is trying to make a few hundred % by flipping it on. tax free, no stamp.

the apartment completes in Q1 2015

The agent that sold a flat for me last year in west Ken had two flats in that development that the buyer had just done precisely that with; guy had made "6 figures" on them both. Was over a year ago mind you.

[z4RRSchris99]

it happens alot. Most of the flats down at Nine Elms are purchased to flip, not to complete. At one point Riverlight had 100 resales on the market out of 700 units, with the developer selling also. total mess.

I restrict it for the ones i deal with, so you can only do it at certain times etc. But the guys who have done it have made hundreds of thousands yep.

These people are cash rich and time poor, and may only stay in their apartment (max!) 2 or 3 weeks a year. They dont want the hassel of knowing the roof is leaking, the boiler isnt working, someone has broken in, mail is piling up, the car battery has run down. etc etc etc. They want new build lock up and leave,

Unless they have managed to get so rich that they can afford immortality they are completely mental if they don't just cash it all in, stop being time-poor and use their multi millions to enjoy the rest of their lives rather than working themselves to death pursuing multi billions

I don't think that it is necessarily work that causes them to be time poor.

They have houses in, say, Russia, New York, Switzerland, Barbados, South of France, London and a few others. Plus, there's the yacht.

They spend a couple of months skiing from their chalet in Courcheval, then to the Carribean for some winter sun, then to New York for shopping, then to London to talk to their bankers, then to the Med for the yacht, then back to mother Russia to see the relatives and a show of obeisance to Putin before heading to the country estate for some shooting, then back to somewhere warm for some golf. In the middle of all that, they have to find time to fit in the South of France, some top-end events (like Wimbledon and the World Cup final), their mate's parties, big game hunting in Africa and a good few top-end escorts. Oh and they need to talk to the people that run all of that stuff for them and make sure they are managing it to their standards.

It's exhausting being a billionaire.

I bet a massive majority do 50+hr working weeks. You dont become a billionaire by being someone who can just laze about for very long.

I'm in the mood for something a little bigger (Not just the size of the property that is big. The issues with it are bigger)

Britain's largest stately home - on sale for £7million
