My friend paid $40000 to renovate his just one tiny bathroom in his apartment in NYC £40,000 for a whole flat in Kensington doesn't seem too bad at all.
@@blueshrimp6716 Entertaining? What, like house parties? lol People who live by themselves do have visitors over sometimes, they don't live in solitary confinement. If there's seating for more than one person in a flat, there shouldn't be a glass wall to the shitters. It's basic common sense.
@@lsamoa Yes this is the sort of property no one should come over to. Unless you're REALLY comfortable with them lol. For someone working in Kensington of near earning good money but a lot of hours Mon - Fri then go to a nicer house out of London on weekends it makes sense
It is madness. Where I live in Scotland, £225,000 can buy you a 3 bedroom house on the harbour with parking for 2 cars.. Views and fresh air like you have never seen. London is turning into a very nasty place. YOU CAN KEEP IT.
It's all a matter of context; Kensington in London is one of the most desirable places to live in and it's actually quite a bargain considering that it's well designed.To put things in perspective,an architect designed 1bed apartment can easily command an asking price if £800,000-£1,000,000 in the same area!
scotland has a lot of empty space so ofc its gunna be cheaper.. someone living in this flat isnt so much paying for the flat itself but the location ie to have constant access to one of the loveliest areas of London v close to hyde park. you are able to enjoy all the things london has to offer. Scotland is nice for holidays but it gets a bit lonely and boring out there in the wilderness after too long and can be rather isolating. depends what kind of person you are though.. if you want lots of exciting things to do all the time then london is one of the best places in the whole world. however if u prefer a slower existence somewhere like scotland.
@@eyeofthetiger6002 The fact is, house prices in London are not reasonable. It's got way out of whack - average London salaries are £35k, average property price (including studios and flats) is £670k, i.e. 19x price, and lenders will only give you up to 4x salary. If you want a house to raise a family, the average price is £1.22m i.e. 35x average salary. You would have to earn £300k per annum to get a mortgage on a house, and at that point the government will take half your paycheck so it still might not be possible!!
....i suppose one could sit on the loo AND have a shower at the same time, so that absolutely justifies the price.. you can have a poo and watch the telly and fry an egg all at once!
You can also spank the monkey at the same time! Such timesaving! Also very safe! When a fire breaks out there is not much room and you can use the water from the faucet to extinguish it
My dad has a spacious 2 bedroom open plan flat in a nice part of Southampton price around 230grand but for that I could easily afford a 3 bedroom property like a semi detached or terraced house. There was a newbuild with front and back gardens that went for 220grand and for about 200g can get a decent sized 3 bedroom house its crazy how much location affects the price off housing isn't it!!!
Hi Stranger You do realise New York’s apartments can be smaller than the ones in the uk. I live in a big apartment in the uk... it’s not like every apartment is like this.
Even if I know how pleasant living in larger spaces can be, this apartment is more than enough for myself alone. Everything is kept close at hand. Minimalism and cleaning go hand in hand.
There was actually a large broom cupboard converted into a mini flat opposite Harrods that attracted quite a few buyers for around £90,000! www.standard.co.uk/news/london/buyers-line-up-for-90000-former-broom-cupboard-8189474.html
Surprisingly this flat could be the cheapest place to live. Ignore that £225k price tag. The reason why it will be cheap to live in is because costs will be kept down. One or two light bulbs. A few sockets and one electric shower means less money on electricity bills. Electric heaters mean no gas bills Cost of maintenance falls on the freeholder. So you don’t have to worry about keeping the window and exterior in good order. The flats decor is reasonable for London and even if you decide to gut it all out and redecorate the whole flat, expect to spend less than £4,000. Compared with £20,000 minimum for London flats. So putting the price tag aside, this flat is economically worth it
You would need to know the service charge and ground rent before you can make a statement like that. Something that IS certain is someone will be silly enough to buy and live here.
@@MosherMike why would they be silly? A single person working in Kensington maybe earn good money could live here during week and then might have a nice house to go to on weekends. Seems like a good investment to me. This enough for a one person with a busy life who just needs somewhere to sleep
Is this serious or a joke? What muppet would pay £800 rent to live in a shoe box, let alone a full £225,000 to buy the ridiculous thing. If you have that kind of money to spare buy a house, don't live in a cupboard.
Ergh, imagine life in Birmingham.. Value is not only in monetary value. Hundreds of millions of people around the world pay large sums of money for relatively small properties (bought or rented).
What exactly have they spent £40k on? This is one very disgusting looking micro apartment, educate yourself. research on proper micro apartment in america, perhaps you would be able to achieve what you want to achieve. This is nothing but a basic renovation, would not cost more than 13k max..
Not very well thought out. There are so many ideas floating around in the internet...let alone for that sorry excuse for a kitchen I have better ideas. Not worth it unless you tear it all out and start over. So much wasted space, when you have so little of it.
The only thing I don't like about this micro apt is that the toilet bowl is in the shower stall-ugh! However, the space is nice and bright and I like the Murphy bed.
I was staying in mumbai ( worli village ) and my house was 100sqft now i shifted from there and bought 400sqft 1bhk flat outside of mumbai but i like the way he designed that house i really appreciate his vision because i know very well how i did survive there my life's 30 years becoz of bad financial condition
for me to live in anything micro, it would have to fully multi purpose and functional living, i've seen quite a few micro homes and although this is quite a nice one, i can't see how you can entertain anyone at all here.. i'd have to be a loner!! i also would need space for a washer dryer.
Wish the video gave the metric dimensions, but I looked it up and it's 11.6 square metres. I lived in a 14-square-metre flat and it was fine. Before I moved in, the owner had lived there with his partner and an 80 kg dog for four years!
G E most do. Extremely rare to find a flat in England without its own washing machine/dryer (though usually a combo, and much smaller than the machines in US)
Returns are very poor, if you purchase this property for £225,000 and rent it out for £800 a month it'll take you 23.4 years to start getting a return on your investment
@@danieldorn2927 You couldn't rent out a detached house for 3200 a month, you dummy, least of all a tiny studio like that. If you can throw away 3200 pounds a month you can buy a £225,000 flat in 5 years, you don't rent.
People buy it on mortgage and the rent money generally pays off the monthly mortgage payment. So u r actually only spending time waiting for the years to go by after which you can sell it.
Actually £800 a month in London isn’t too bad !! It is self contained . But it is very small . Not sure how a new shower room and pull down bed , lick of paint costs £40,000 though ? I think they give ripped off 😮
Summarises living quality in the UK: We sell houses price based on how many bedrooms they have not by square foot. people actually buy such a space for money and suddenly it becomes acceptable to live in small houses that are overlooked and you can hear your neighbours. If everyone just out rite refused to live like this then houses would be built better and bigger. unfortunately British people and immigrants who flock here accept living like this and that fuels the property market selling boxes for millions. I would take an american house made out of wood that turns up on a lorry as flat pack but at least is big enough to live a real quality life in. as long as it wasn't overlooking or being overlooked by other people. American houses are just so much nicer even though they are made fast and cheap at least the quality of living is good inside it and it was cheap all along. English houses and living standards are actually disgraceful when you think about it. 95% of the population live on top of each other and can see into neighbours houses and hear their neighbours when sat inside! Everyone has a meaning of what makes a house a home. well mine is: A house cant be a home if the neighbours can see you or hear you when you are at home. this includes the garden and driveway area! Is it just me? we dont just have a housing crisis in the UK, our actual houses are the crisis!
Don’t forget, we’re more overcrowded here. A detached house in a stand alone building in London is a luxury. There just isn’t as much land to buy to begin with.
If that cost 40k you got robbed blind and have more money than sense i renovated a full 3 bed house for 35k about 4 years ago inc new roof windows walls all plastered and painted new floors bathrooms one on suite with loo an sink one with shower and spa bath etc.. big kitchen new doors the lot! 40k my ass someones full of it!
I congratulate the designer for turning this into a prison becuase no matter what you do with it you cannot change its true nature of being a prison cell. When people will start to think like humans and value themselves and NOT buy these type of prison cells then this deceiving business trend of being in the center of a city living in a prison cell like your on death row and with an exagerated price tag will stop. Know this, anyone wanting you to live in a place like this does not respect you. Living in the center should also reflect how you live which is definitely not this as this will lower you standards.
London house prices will fall for the next 20 years, while house prices in the North of England will rise. This has been shown in numerous studies. I advise everybody with property in London to sell up ASAP and invest in the north.
Nope , it’s a studio for students !! I’m sat in my 1 bedroom ( separate room 👍🏻) 15” by 10” sitting room , kitchen ( separate room 👍🏻 ) with fridge , washer dryer , full cooker top and oven and shower room ( separate room 👍🏻 ) for £500 a month in Devon . I couldn’t imagine living in that shoe box 👎🏻👎🏻
He spent £40,000 on this? He could have done a better job with some ikea furniture and for a fraction of the price. He spent £40,000 and there’s not even a place to wash your clothes🤦🏿♀️
Don't forget, they had to totally gut the whole place out and rework the flat completely, plus you have the architect's fees as well!(I'm sure there's a washer dryer in there somewhere to do the laundry!)
Seems like a solid place to rent for a summer if you're a student or something and a terrible place to live longer term. I would have loved something like this when I was at Uni if I would have gone down to London for the summer. I studied for a year in Manchester, and I only really brought 2 suitcases worth of stuff with me.
I have in New York 😱 watch Cash Jordan , he does vids for rentals in NY , even he opens doors to walk in closets ( apartments ) and says “ I’m not sure how you could make this work “???? and he’s in real estate !! $1200 - $1600 for basically a bedroom !!
I would rather be happy living there than in a 5 bedroom detached house in like manchester Either you live happy in the location you love and have a decent place to live, or live miserably in a place you don’t like in a big house
simon Mcdonald a house is not all about space for everyone. Think about maintenance and running costs. I’m sure every few months the grass in your “lots of green space” need cutting which costs money for fuel. A big house means high electricity and gas bills. Whereas people generally spend less on bills on small properties. Many people choose to go for smaller properties because it’s cheaper to live in.
That flat is shit I would take a house in Manchester any day over dirty London flat with 100 of rat 🐀 controlling the streets. Come to think of it, I live 30 minutes away from london and I never seen a rat on my streets so clean here.
Not a bad price considering its in London. Decorated really nicely too. I would love to share this on my channel, I would of course include a link back and credit Business Insider UK. Thanks
i've got a tool shed in my back yard. i'll rent it out for 100 bucks a month Canadian. i'll have to evict the current tenants, though. there is a family of dead-beat raccoons living there at the moment, and they are already two month's behind in payments, the lazy bastards!
The renovation cost £40000? You would expect something really luxurious for that amount of money. This is still quite a basic studio appartment.
Ann White costs a fortune to renovate in London, also they had to pay that architect 😂
My friend paid $40000 to renovate his just one tiny bathroom in his apartment in NYC £40,000 for a whole flat in Kensington doesn't seem too bad at all.
How lovely. Nothing cosier than to cook food while watching someone take a dump through a glass door. Excellent design.

Whereas people generally spend less on bills on small properties. Many people choose to go for smaller properties because it’s cheaper to live in.
That flat is shit I would take a house in Manchester any day over dirty London flat with 100 of rat 🐀 controlling the streets. Come to think of it, I live 30 minutes away from london and I never seen a rat on my streets so clean here.
Wasn't this guy on Grand Designs?
WHY?
with the work at home trend this flat will worth nothing soon
We need this type of House and location also good
What a lovely jail cell
This isnt small living in one room with 3 kids is small
Awful no laundry.
No way would I live in that for 800 a month awful .I feel sorry for who ever lives in it .god bless them .
it doesn't even have a table
Where are you supposed to do laundry? In the shower?!
That architect has done an awful job of renovating that space. So much wasted potential.
That is actually NOT BAD.
It's a NICE little space for people who don't care for stuff or having a lot of material things.
I CAN live there.
Not a bad price considering its in London. Decorated really nicely too. I would love to share this on my channel, I would of course include a link back and credit Business Insider UK. Thanks
Moron.... I'm assuming your brain is minimalist too?
depressing
This is the reality,when living in hot spots like London,and New york etc..
I think it's perfect, save your money and live small.
i've got a tool shed in my back yard. i'll rent it out for 100 bucks a month Canadian. i'll have to evict the current tenants, though. there is a family of dead-beat raccoons living there at the moment, and they are already two month's behind in payments, the lazy bastards!
S Ken tho wow
This is just stupid and the music background make it worse

Suicide property 😨
Most expensive tiny house? LOL..
