We need a new revision of Monopoly.

It'd be interesting to see the analysis if you took into account per square foot of house space and again for the amount of land.

I used to work on Kensington High Street so regularly wandered around the area to grab food etc as I stayed in hotels when I was down there.

Nice houses for sure, but I've got a better view from my ex council house in Newcastle and certainly better surroundings, 10 mins from the coast, 20 mins from being able to hoon around Northumberland in my car and still got a great city centre 15 mins away.

And yet, up here you can get this for less than a million https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-65418490.html

The surprising thing is,

70 years ago, A lot of those houses could quite well have been falling down slums being used as bedsits and which could have changed hands for little more than a couple of hundred quid!

House my dad bought in Stoke newington in 1979 for £10k is now worth £1.8m!

Quite happy where i am thanks in my little bought house

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Disgusting.

For that price you could buy a mansion with huge grounds and cover the wages of a gardener for a lifetime. Insane a glorified terraced house goes for a million let alone 15

There is going to be an epic crash in London soon, the bankers know it's coming and are doing nothing to avoid it.

Guessing most very high up bank managers won't care as they already made there millions

A blip, foreign money is scared of London due to brexit, give it 5 years and boom time again.

It's been brewing since long before brexit. The same things that caused the 2008 crash are still going on in London.

It is a bit misleading, the 1st place street is mostly big houses whereas the 2nd place street has quite a few flats/apartments... if they looked at say price per sq ft then I suspect second place would eclipse 1st place... or indeed if they just compared the price of an equivalent sized house between the two.

 

[Trappi$t]

SHHHHH.... let the idiots in London pay the prices and rip themselves off, while they live in little hamster cages, surround by another 8million idiots!!!

The rest of us can meanwhile enjoy REAL life, of outdoors, mountains, Scottish hospitality, and house prices which are affordable!

I saw a property up here recently, 14 acres, squash courts, stables, blah blah, Offers over £750k!! Crazy cheap.

I recognize that most of those houses look pretty nice, but that Kensington one looks a horrible place to live. It's hunched little brick-heaps surrounded by mean little go-away walls and bars. It's like they've built their own, exclusive little prisons.

 

[Maccapacca]

This 'article' seems to have taken the highest prices and the worst photos for the clickbait lolz

Meanwhile the real news passes you by.

House my dad bought in Stoke newington in 1979 for £10k is now worth £1.8m!

I know of houses bought for 30k 30 years again, now worth about 40k. Its not the building but the land I think mostly

 

[StriderX]

And yet i'd still much prefer living in a high-rise with hundreds of other folks, the charm is in how annoying it is.

On the other hand my dad's second house he bought 30 years ago for somewhere in the 30K mark - a similar property down the road from it sold last month for £275,000!
