£100,000 per month!!!!!

You could stay in the best suite in the best hotel and be pampered for less.... Shirley?

[cronk-flakes]

Bejesus!

That's so crazy it might just make sense!

[alcad]

an MP on expenses?

[bazking69]

Foreign high flying city slickers with obscene pay structures on short term contracts?

[The Curn]

It does have a "fully fitted eat-in kitchen" so £25k isn't too bad.

£25K a week though!!!! what is that before tax!!

There must be a loop hole in the tax system to justify £100K a month on rent over A mortgage???

I quite agree.

[KB_S1]

Perhaps for bringing in someone with an entourage.
Big film/music star.
Member of foreign royal family or similar?

More money than I could ever dream of having though.

Russians and Arabs.

Hence the emphasis was on 'obscene'. Multi million pound contracts and bonuses aren't unheard of in the city, even in the current climate.

How much would a place like that be to buy?

Bingo.

I hope it's nice inside because it looks fairly average outside.

Got to 60 pages in on Rightmove and the prices are still £1,800 per week...

Just around the corner from my office. Places like that simply never come on the market to purchase, so no real idea what it would be worth, without stabbing in the dark.

Judging by the number of Veyrons, SLRs, Murcielagos etc currentyl about on Arab plates, there's quite a few people knocking around that could afford it at the moment!

[V8S]

Could this be a typo on the price?

Seems more likely to be 2,500 GBP a week, surely?

At a rough guess as there aren't many details on there, I'd say anywhere from £10-40 million. Definitely tens of millions as it's Mayfair.

No way look - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-rent/londo...


You have to go about 40 pages in to get anywhere near £2,500 a week.....

Crazy. Utterly, totally, not-on-the-same-bloody-planet crazy. That's actually the value of my house, every month.

My boss has just moved to Monaco and he pays £400k pa on rent and thats for an apartment, a very nice one mind. Quite simply a bargain in comparison!
