Daily Telegraph (Jan 2015): Britain’s most expensive flat

Britain’s most expensive flat goes on sale for £10m

The one-bedroom apartment, in Knightsbridge, costs 56 times the average house price in England and Wales and has been dubbed the ‘ultimate pied-a-terre’

Simon Barnes, an independent property consultant, has been inside One Hyde Park and deals in the super-prime market.
He said: “It is an amazing place and is not be like buying a one-bedroom flat.

“It is a very modern, high quality build, you have the Mandarin next door and the ultimate concierge. The sort of person who will look at it is likely to be the sort of person who spends a lot of time in a hotel. But for £10 million you could get quite a few nights in the finest hotel suite.

The bar in residential development keeps being raised. What you lack in London are the locations to build on which is why they can charge such a price at One Hyde Park. Will the quality of developments improve? Yes, but it is highly unlikely you find a better location.”

EXCLUSIVE: Tycoon pays £46m for London flat (plus £3m more in stamp duty)

London Evening Standard – 7 January 2014 by Adrian Hearn and Russell Lynch

EXTRACT: Property consultant Simon Barnes said it is rare for a home of this value to be bought by an individual.

He added: “I’ve dealt with these sorts of properties for 30 years and historically they are traded through companies, which helps maintain a level of anonymity. Chesham Place is phenomenal. You’re not just talking about a flat in Belgravia. Candy & Candy have done a fantastic job. The presentation and finish is very good. It ticks all boxes and you couldn’t replicate it.”

توقعات الخبراء لتحولات أسواق عقار لندن في 2015

عدم استقرار حتى الانتخابات العامة.. ثم مرحلة نمو

يقول بارنز إنه لم يشهد أي تغيير جذري في سوق لندن منذ الصيف الماضي. ولكنه لاحظ تراجع الأسعار في قمة السوق لسبب واضح هو أن
بعض العقارات صارت مقيّمة بأكثر من قيمتها الحقيقية. وهو يؤكد وجود الكثير من النشاط في قمة السوق ويعتقد أن نشاط الشراء سوف يستمر في العام المقبل بلا تراجع. أما عن مخاوف الانتخابات العامة في بريطانيا ونتائجها، يقول بارنز إن هؤلاء المترددين في الشراء الآن بسبب
احتمال فرض ضرائب عقارية بعد الانتخابات لم يكن في نيتهم الشراء في كل الأحوال.

 

Experts forecast changes in London property market in 2015

From Aawsat.com: 23 November by Adel Murad

“Simon Barnes says he has not seen any radical change in the London market since last summer, but noted the decline in the market price summit for the obvious reason is that some real estate has become a resident for more than their true value. It confirms the existence of a lot of activity in the market summit believe that buying activity will continue in the next year without a decline. As for the general election in Britain and results concerns, Barnes says that those hesitant to buy now because of the possibility of imposing real estate taxes after the election did not intend to buy it in any case”
