Most Expensive 2007.

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

According to Forbs £8.8 billion ($17.4 billion) in bonuses were paid to executives in London’s finance and banking industry in this year. Agents and sellers have already upped high-end house prices knowing that there will be increased competition for multimillion dollar estates.

Updown Court, for example, the country’s priciest at £70 million ($138 million), boasts 103 rooms on 58 acres of landscaped grounds in Surrey, just southwest of London. A panic room, indoor squash court and 50-seat theater await potential buyers who, should they choose, fly in via helicopter thanks to the property’s multiple helipads.
London’s 19,000-square-foot Old Swan House, one of the largest–and, at £32 million ($63 million)–most expensive in Chelsea, offers a dining room that seats 20, five bedrooms and 11 staff quarters. It was designed by renowned Victorian architect Norman Shaw in 1875 and commands views of the River Thames.

Throw in Britain’s relatively lenient tax regime, which allows the super-rich to legally sidestep some taxation, a prosperous economy, world-class retail and recreation facilities, and top-notch private education, and you’ve got a potent–and pricey–real estate cocktail.

The central London market, in particular, stands out when it comes to buyer desire. Here, one will find super-rich enclaves such as Belgravia, Mayfair and Knightsbridge. This chic area boasts high-end shopping and dining and as a result has separated itself from the rest of Greater London when it comes to attracting the highest prices for what’s becoming increasingly limited property.

Creating furniture may be a simple task compared to a whole building some might say, but not according to Mies:
“The chair is a very difficult object. Everyone who has ever tried to make one knows that. There are endless possibilities and many problems – the chair has to be light, it has to be strong, it has to be comfortable. It is almost easier to build a sky scraper than a chair.”
