Alternatively, £6000pcm would be the monthly mortgage on some absolute palace in Surrey. You would have a huge garden, gates, private road, much quieter and safer area, and you're still 30-45 minutes from Zone 1 if you really need to be there. I grew up in Edinburgh and even there you can rent a 7 bedroom Edwardian villa house (borderline mansion) for £55k a year. There was one of those near where I grew up. This is £72k for a flat.
Some people do not what to live out in the sticks in Surrey in a Palace! I for one enjoy living in city, and I enjoy living in apartments with multi-amenities. I just love the energy of the community and Canary Wharf is safe and clean. My mother lives in Surrey but it is not for me. But if Surrey floats your boat, indeed, you will get a lot more real estate for your money.
@Akh Cho You are thinking in your own reality. Someone who is renting for £6k per month probably owns five houses across the world and is certainly not worrying about £6k - they are renting for lifestyle reasons - not because they have no other choice. The footballers who lives in that building or on £60k+ per week, £6k is like buying a loaf of bread to them. I think the point is that renting a property at £6k per month is for people who can afford it and it is all relative. Good luck to them I say.
@Demon Slayer lot of international banks in canary wharf with international managers, directors who came just for one or two years, they will have it close to work
As someone that's lived in different parts of London over the last 4 years I've learned it's very easy pay a crazy price for very little when there's a much better value area just down the road... £6k a month for this is insane
wow, 6K per month! The last 2 years I lived in London I paid a little over 2K per month and I had a huge loft apartment, high ceilings and wooden beams with views over Highgate Forest. While this flat is decent, 6K per month can get you soooo much more in London if you do your research.
I live in London and can firmly confirm canary wharf is a soulless work location. You'd only want to live there to be next to your office and that's no way to live.
The rent is unbelievable. I live in a 4 bed detached, double drive, garage, en-suite, private garden. £600 a month mortgage until next summer then it’s fully owned by me. And I won’t be living in the capital which is a shithole. Happy days.😁
@Vijai Srinivas no it’s not, I look onto chestnut trees, open fields. Mayor road links within 1 mile. You sound bitter. My small NHS wage goes a long way up here.
@Vijai Srinivas the North is far from a shithole. Unless you stay in the city centres.. most of the north Is idyllic and peaceful. London is one massive, giant shithole that needs walling off or flattening. Horrible place, Horrible rude people who look at each other like shit if they say hello. Just horrid.
Opinion of an actual estate agent - Honestly this flat is very average. You'd have to be soft in the head to pay 6k a month on rent for any place, never mind an underwhelming apartment.
I highly doubt you’re an estate agent. You’re not paying 6k for the flat. You’re paying it for the location and that price for that flat is pretty standard
@@baryan655 Literally less than 5 minutes of research over multiple sources has shown me that the average price for a 3 bed property in this location is around £900 per week, which works out at £3,900 pcm. The average price for properties in general in this location regardless of bedrooms is closer to £700pcm which again falls far short of £6k, making your claim wrong. And I stand by what I said, if you are willing to pay £6k on rent no matter what the location is, you are mad.
@@HammaTime422 In Canary Wharf £900k will just about get you a one-bed new build apartment. New build three beds are closer to £2m. Using the average price ratio does not give good data, because they are mixing in the older properties. You need to find the metrics for the average price of a New Builds (built within the last two years). I live in the area and if you can find me a decent new build three-bed for £900k, I will pay you £20k.
@@karltokio hi Karl thanks for the reply. Sorry, typo in my last message, when I said £900 I meant of rent per week, however forgot to type "per week". Not £900k total property value - my mistake. I do agree with what you said generally though. Cheers.
Used to work at this skyscraper for almost 2 years, mainly installing front entrance door glass panels with lighting in the corridors, installing white cupboard doors, ironmongery etc. During the windy days, you will get a lot of creaking noises in some of the higher floor apartments, due to skyscraper swaying in the wind, which might drive you crazy. And there is absolutely no parking space near or underneath this skyscraper, there are only bicycle racks in the basement.
@@Pit-jt3lw It was mainly price work. On FED glass panels I was making around 400£/day. On white cupboard doors/ironmongery around 300£/day. Working from 8AM to 5PM with 1x 1 hour break. You can make some decent money in almost any trade in construction, just need to have experience to do the work properly, be fast and hardworking and in case of a carpenter, you need to have a lot of tools. This was one of the better sites I've been to, absolutely enjoyed it.
The owners are probably banks, maybe not directly, but in some capacity e.g. they funded the construction. It's what they do with your savings whilst keeping most of the ROI for themselves
I lived in Canary Wharf for 3 months since april until june this year, for work. We paid 2.100 pounds per month, for a 2 bedroons, 2 baths, good balcony, nice and modern also, very close to this build, but without a riverview. 6.000 I think is too much!
It sounds like you got a pretty good deal. The market rate in my area (Sutton/Worcester Park/Epsom) is about £1700-2000/month for a three bedroom house with garden, although it would probably be a bit too far out for someone working in Canary Wharf.
Whist this apartment is on the pricey side (considering it looks fairly basic), everyone is assuming that it will be rented out by one individual. It’s very possible 3 separate people will split the bill for 2k each. Yes - you could probably afford a mansion in the middle of nowhere, but you’re forgetting that significant value is added for CW workers living as close to the office as possible when having to work 90 hour weeks.
I visited a one bedroom and a studio apartment as I wanted to rent my first place there but upon inspection,I realised it's impossible to get fresh air because the entire glass of the whole building is sealed and that includes the gym indoor.Spectacular views and I was sold the moment I walked into the apartment until I found out you cannot open any of the windows or glass doors to let in fresh air.Possible to open the glass window but opening it leads to another glass which is completely shut.Mind you this wasn't what it looked like with all the cushions and lambs,etc this one is just their showroom for ads.
@@Still472 that is a medium price, mediocre means average so yes my statement still stands. 200 per night will not get you a place anywhere near as nice as this apartment even somewhere cheap, but especially not in central London.
@@baz1184 £200 a day hotel would not actually cost you £200 a day if you were block booking a hotel room for say 6 months + at a time. Maybe even a couple of months +. You'd have to be earning £90-100k a year to even make these places at £3,000 a month rent viable. Or say £60k if you only want to have enough to pay your rent, feed yourself and do literally nothing else 😂. Crazy prices but it's the centre of London I suppose
Only 310k people in the UK earn over £160k per year before tax, the top 1%, roughly £95k after-tax if they pay their fair share!. This apartment rental is £72k per year, which is 76% of your income. Who exactly can afford this madness for such a small space?
It’s because most wealth doesn’t come from earning a wage. Wealth usually comes from entrepreneurship, asset appreciation etc. and to a lesser extent, inheritance. Bank of England printing 150 billion this year so plenty of money around.
@@arthurrambo9663 The numbers above are based on taxable income, which includes capital agins, interest on savings etc, not only wages. Plus at the end of the year, they have nothing to show for that £72k.
£72,000 a year for the first apartment and you’ll never own it! That’s insane to me. I think this is great for a short term let e.g. 3mths for business but long term it’s a waste of money. As a born and bred Londoner, the real estate prices in London are now beyond ridiculous!
It’s all relative. It’s super expensive but it’d be cheaper to rent than doing short term lets, so I can easily see a company taking it out on long term lease and giving it to visiting executives staying for a month rather than paying for a hotel or Airbnb.
@PrimeVids There is no sane individual that would go ahead with this long term. If you super wealthy, you would buy it. If you can afford the rent for 72k a year, your earnings and outgoings should make you elible for at least a mortgage on a decent place. There is no good reason to throw away 72k like this.
@@danm4320 not necessarily. Let’s assume the yield on this property is 4%, the value would be £1.8m. Stamp duty assuming this is the only property is £130k or £184k if a second property (highly likely). Deposit of 25% is £450k. The opportunity cost on this (assume can get a return of 6%) is £27k a year. Interest cost on £1.35m mortgage at say 2.5% is £34k a year. So your real plus opportunity cost is already £61k, ie £11k less than renting and for the stamp duty to make sense, you’d need to own the property for £184k/£11k = 17 years. Selling costs would be around 1% so anything from £20k upwards (another 2 years at £11k gap per year). So unless you’re intending on buying and holding this property for the medium to long term, praying for an uptick in value, it makes financial sense to rent this property.
£72,000 a year not including council tax, energy bills and other costs. Hard to imagine an individual shelling out that amount from their own pocket on a rented property. My guess is that high earning senior management and execs who travel a lot for work will have their living costs paid for them by their companies will be likely tenants. Surely nobody would pay that otherwise.
@@chanhenri9172 Afford yes, but it would be an unwise investment to say the least when they could buy instead. Kind of money down the drain unless your employer is paying it for you.
@@chanhenri9172 employees working in canary wharf would not splash out £72k a year of their salary for rent lol. Its definitely companies covering the costs of colleagues who are temporarily working in that location
It will be companies renting for their staff (directors etc) and very wealthy people staying there. There are a lot of wealthy people from other nations who are renting in the area (wood wharf included).
@@UnseenSpirit seems really nonsensical though, especially from a company perspective. Why would you throw £6k down the drain per month for a single person’s accommodation? Glutinous behaviour in my opinion.
It's a great place but as many people are now working from home you don't necessarily need to be here . You can live way out of London , keep your career , save a fortune and have a simpler life . That being said , the views are spectacular .
The thing about london is that most big firms are located in london so either you pay for traveling or you stay in london, yes there is work from home ever since covid but eventually you have to go back and work from the office
Growing up in South West London this is not surprising as I have seen prices in and around London grow rapidly. Now living outside of London and knowing how much you can get for your money….damn with this sort of money 💰 you could live like a king 👑.
I have no idea how many people would be able to afford that renting price. 6K was basically the deposit I gave to buy my 3 bedrooms house here in Belfast... At the end The flat seems superb with an amazing view but it is for a very selective group of people! Best luck, youd did a great video!
A lot to like here but I do think that price is a bit steep, speaking as somebody living 2 stops away and can see CW from my flat. £4K would feel better for me, and that's after I've accounted for the view. I do really enjoy the social / shared parts of the flats though, a lot of nice touches here.
Remember viewing a few apartments in Canary Wharf & some of them didn't include amenities in the rent but a separate cost instead, however, I do think Canary is pretty fair in terms of what you're getting value for money-wise. I ended up getting an apartment in south bank, great views & a little more spacious but south bank is quite pricey when you consider how similar a lot of the apartments are to canary wharf.
‘Investing’ in property is an investment in the continued poverty of your fellow citizens. Affordable housing is a basic need, that underpins a civil society. Imagine having a portfolio of surplus food, that you drip fed to people, at ever increasing prices they struggled to afford? I sold all my investment property 15 years ago, when i realised i was partly the cause of poverty, not only in my own country, but also the places where i had bought foreign property. I’m all for people making money, but ‘investing’ in property is just gross and cynical. Keep your money in other marketplaces, but don’t become a member of the ‘rentier’ class. Interestingly, following the French Revolution, it wasn’t the monarchy that went to the guillotine first, but the greedy landlords, living off the working poor.
Well said. Land barons and serfdom still exist. Thatcherite right to buy. Her one rational policy. But of course she, and every party following her never built enough houses to sustain this idea. Every human deserves a decent living wage, and a decent retirement. People below 30 mostly agree they will never see a decent pension. Considering this, and everything else that is diabolical. We still lay dormant arguing over the wrong things.
A lot of people in Britain today are deeply lacking in genuine empathy unfortunately. People have been conditioned by media and industry to think primarily of themselves and to accumulate signifiers of their own success rather than to care much for community, making up for this by tweeting "Be Kind" every six months or liking some shallow post along the lines of "mental health, it's important, yeah?". I'm glad you had your realisation, multiple home ownership is honestly crass unless you're willing to be a dedicated helpful, non-profiteering landlord, but those are very hard to come by indeed.
The people talking about how it’s stupid renting here as you could get a massive house for the same price 40 minutes further out don’t get the target market: this flat is for the people who ALREADY have that Surrey house. It’s for people who work in big collar jobs in Canary Wharf, to rent for those evenings where they can’t be bothered to drive home, or need to work late, and who don’t appreciate the inconvenience of having to book and pack for hotels. And as the flat is big, they can also host the wife and kids here some weekends so they can more easily have fun in the city. They probably also have a countryside retreat, maybe a 300 year old cottage in the Cotswolds, that they spend every other weekend in.
I'm kind of surprised by the finishings though, The views and location are incredible, but I feel they should have used to opportunity to really make it feel luxurious. It comes across a bit spartan and actually does seem like a rental, and I feel that for the price tag it really shouldn't. I mean minimal can still be high end and luxurious, but here the finishings just make it come across a bit midrange despite million-dollar views and location.
yup looks like any Holiday inn epxress room but with light colours instead of dark. Guess its just the price for the views. The location isnt even that great IMO, Canary Wharf is east london which is not that close to central.
@@blipblop3229 Home is where u make it. Its not possible to design a place for everyone to like it. Until there are identical clones on earth at least :D
The views in the second bedroom are great but at £6,000pm, I think that puts most people out of the running/marketing window not to mention the fact that most people could buy and get a mortgage for that amount in most areas.
@@husnainshah443 if you can afford that price tag you might as well buy next door at Landmark Pinnacle. Additionally the views towards the city will be blocked once construction restarts on the plot directly across the road
@@markohenry5891 idk about the uk but in the US once you get a house mortgage it isn’t easy to just leave and sell it. Some people will sell it back to the bank, but that can affect your credit score in the long run. If you have a super high credit score then it may do little damage. And after that it will be harder to just buy another house, seeing as you didn’t finish paying your last house mortgage. But renting is for people who aren’t looking to buy.
@@husnainshah443 In america we have leases (basically contracts) so if you signed on for a year, but after 6 months want to move. You have to pay to a lease termination fee. If you just up and move without paying termination fee, you could be sued. So renting still isn’t “freedom to just leave” there is a process(in the US). The lease goes into other rules too, some landlords are very strict than others.
I have a 2 bedroom corner apartment on reserve on Floor 55 - 5509 - with breathtaking views to the west from all windows ... truly excited and most anxious to return to London as soon as possible!! Thank you for sharing this inside look!
Perhaps this question has been addressed previously but are the clothes washing machines combo washing and drying machines or just washing? And if not, how do you dry the clothing. Here in Canada, we have both side by side.

I don't know how they can call it a 3 x bedroom apartment when the 3rd bedroom has no access to a bathroom other than using the ones in the other bedrooms which if people were using them isn't ideal. It's a 2 x bedroom plus study/snug at best.
Um you do realise that a bedroom doesn’t have to have a bathroom connected to it? A bedroom is legally a bedroom as long as it has windows. It’s a 3x bedroom house
@@Symplastmail Yes I am aware of that but if you had 3 x people living in that apartment where is the 3rd person going to shower? They would have to use one of the ensuites in the other bedrooms which is silly.
Its standard in the uk to share bathrooms each person in a house doesnt have their own and its only amd en suite if it comes directly off the bedroom this is a 3 bed 2 bath and there aint no baths
Not having a proper balcony is the deal breaker for me. I live in a similar apartment 2 minutes away and even in the winter they get super hot and going unto the balcony is a lifesaver
They have expensive MVHR systems installed in these. The temperature will be as you like in the whole apartment with fresh air all the time. You can see the MVHR unit at 0:37 over the washing machine.
@@davidc8293 MVHR unit. It takes air from the street, cools it/warms it (as you like), filters it, then sends it into the rooms, you see big vent grills on the ceiling like on 3:54. Clean air comes out of them, then it gets sucked up back by round extraction valves, that are usually placed in the bathrooms and sometimes near the kitchen, you can see one on 3:26. Extracted air gets back to MVHR unit, which sends it back to the street. This way the air is always circulating through the flat and the air inside is kept fresh.
@@Minimal444 You are an expert! how much is it if I want to install a MVHR system in my flat in UK? Do I need to apply for a permission if I want to install one?
£6K a month plus bills is no doubt aimed at short term corporate lets, it's not the kind of place I'd like to rent long term I'd be paranoid about messing it up and losing the deposit!
Yeah, renting not a good idea to throw money away on high rents, £2.5k more than enough in that area for someone managing their money living in the area.
I mean this in a genuinely constructive way - the tours seem to lack energy. It’s very factual and perhaps feels like watching people doing their jobs rather than them inspiring us and entertaining us. The access you have to these properties is incredible - I genuinely think with some coaching you can dominate the UK property tour scene. Hint - look at Enes Yilmazer’s tours. Professional yet personable.
It's not uncommon for some of the top investment banks and hedge funds to shell out for their top executives with apartments like these, it's not always payed for by the tenant themselves. Mortgages are not 'always' the more affordable option - that's 2015 thinking; the latest data for London in 2021 finds that in many cases mortgage payments can be higher than flat-out renting.
It doesn't matter if mortgage repayments are slightly higher than rent payments - at the end of the day it's an investment. You can sell on the mortgage or the property. Rent just disappears. If you're in a position to mortgage you usually should.
Really nice apartments, love the views. £6k a month seems a bit much for a 3 bedroom. I looked at the 1 bed and its £2300 a month - not even sure if council tax is included but seems way overpriced imo
For anyone wondering who can afford this? It's a financial sector and banks may rent it out for their important staff. I did security in St James's and 1 bedroom flats were up to 15k a month. The concierge for this area told me the finish in this building is like Dubai where it's all so special.
Having no actual balcony will def be an issue for most , especially in the likely event of future lockdowns ahead. Lovely apartment , just a shame has no balcony.
@@_JohnDoe hospital admission rates are rising rapidly and we haven’t even reached winter. Government have clearly stated plan b will be lockdowns to reduce admissions on our nhs.
I have visited this tower during the construction. We climbed at 34th floor. The views are breathtaking. There are no cameras able to show you what you can see in reality. This tower gives you unobstructed view on entire west London.
if you afford something like this, just...buy it. at the end you actually have something of value that you own and in any case you can sell it for the money you've paid. rent is a solution for some scenarios, but going all aboard with monthly rents is just stupid, throwing money away.
I was thinking the exact same thing and at 600 apartments too, some rough math even if they only average 3500pm thats more than 25 MILLION in rent per year!! Developers are laughing all the way to the bank
@TheLuxuryHomeShow FIrst time viewer, great apartment. I recommend you show the floor-plan for a little more time than half a second... also mention the amount of floorspace rather than 3 bedrooms which means nothing rather than how big the living space is.
only 6k a month?? what a bargain!! I wonder if the council tax is included or on top of it. the flat looks like a great deal.. do you know if it's probably rented out already?
You'll love my studio flat in Seven Sisters. Broken windows and chronic damp. It has all the mod cons, and even features a malodorous rubbish chute. Just gorgeous.

I have not watched the video yet. But based on the title alone, 6000 per month… Is that reasonable for a family in the UK? That seems exorbitantly high from my perch here in Indianapolis.
I live 2 Tube stops from here and can see it from my flat, and although London is expensive, I would say £6K is extremely expensive / overpriced. It is a nice area, views are obviously great, the building itself is quite striking from the outside too, and the flats are spacious and well appointed but nothing special really. I would say location, space, rooms and view I'd not want to pay more than £4K a month for this. I'm not an expert on property, but have some local knowledge, so take that how you will.
6k per month and the first thing I noticed was the cheap bathroom cabinets @1:13 and plastic sockets throughout - the finish has been done on the cheap
Don't understand why people waste money living in a shit flat when you could buy a literal mansion in a nice well off town in Essex Surrey , Kent etc and still be close enough to commute to london for the same price
I used to clean luxury apartments. I could never feel home in a place like that though. I felt so much more like myself when I came back home to my simple flat with zero luxuries and beauty lol 😆
You have to say this loudly 3 times a day to believe it. Otherwise, imagine how miserable your life would be living in some sh*thole place and then having to clean all these amazing places every single day.
Excluding the views, you can get similar apartments up north for 1/4 of the price. And 3 years of renting will be able to buy you a similarly sized house, without the ground floor common area of course. Having said that, 6k per month for this particularly in Canary Wharf is a relative steal; I know people in Stratford paying £1300 per month for single room bedsits basically.
@@sambroughton The main appeal in cities is "night life is good" same thing; novelty wears off soon. Night life is great, observed from my high rent window haha.

I was so annoyed when they built this building because it completely blocks the view of the city from Canary Warf, I just couldn't believe it. They would not have got permission if it wasn't for the fact that the whole area is privately owned.

Alternatively, £6000pcm would be the monthly mortgage on some absolute palace in Surrey. You would have a huge garden, gates, private road, much quieter and safer area, and you're still 30-45 minutes from Zone 1 if you really need to be there.
I grew up in Edinburgh and even there you can rent a 7 bedroom Edwardian villa house (borderline mansion) for £55k a year. There was one of those near where I grew up. This is £72k for a flat.
Exactly what I was thinking. The only thing that impressed me was the fixtures and fittings here.
Some people do not what to live out in the sticks in Surrey in a Palace! I for one enjoy living in city, and I enjoy living in apartments with multi-amenities. I just love the energy of the community and Canary Wharf is safe and clean. My mother lives in Surrey but it is not for me. But if Surrey floats your boat, indeed, you will get a lot more real estate for your money.
Alternatively, with £6K a month I can buy a house for each one of my family members and help out some friends too.
In Ukraine you can have palace with women and cars included for that money. Here is just a small flat hahaha
@Akh Cho You are thinking in your own reality. Someone who is renting for £6k per month probably owns five houses across the world and is certainly not worrying about £6k - they are renting for lifestyle reasons - not because they have no other choice. The footballers who lives in that building or on £60k+ per week, £6k is like buying a loaf of bread to them. I think the point is that renting a property at £6k per month is for people who can afford it and it is all relative. Good luck to them I say.
love how he says "its nice that everyone is renting here" like £6k a month means we're all in it together!

Opinion of an actual estate agent - Honestly this flat is very average. You'd have to be soft in the head to pay 6k a month on rent for any place, never mind an underwhelming apartment.
Architect here - I completely agree with you.
I highly doubt you’re an estate agent. You’re not paying 6k for the flat. You’re paying it for the location and that price for that flat is pretty standard
@@baryan655 Literally less than 5 minutes of research over multiple sources has shown me that the average price for a 3 bed property in this location is around £900 per week, which works out at £3,900 pcm. The average price for properties in general in this location regardless of bedrooms is closer to £700pcm which again falls far short of £6k, making your claim wrong. And I stand by what I said, if you are willing to pay £6k on rent no matter what the location is, you are mad.
@@HammaTime422 In Canary Wharf £900k will just about get you a one-bed new build apartment. New build three beds are closer to £2m. Using the average price ratio does not give good data, because they are mixing in the older properties. You need to find the metrics for the average price of a New Builds (built within the last two years). I live in the area and if you can find me a decent new build three-bed for £900k, I will pay you £20k.
@@karltokio hi Karl thanks for the reply. Sorry, typo in my last message, when I said £900 I meant of rent per week, however forgot to type "per week". Not £900k total property value - my mistake. I do agree with what you said generally though. Cheers.
Used to work at this skyscraper for almost 2 years, mainly installing front entrance door glass panels with lighting in the corridors, installing white cupboard doors, ironmongery etc. During the windy days, you will get a lot of creaking noises in some of the higher floor apartments, due to skyscraper swaying in the wind, which might drive you crazy. And there is absolutely no parking space near or underneath this skyscraper, there are only bicycle racks in the basement.
How much do you get from that job? I was going to do something like that but I decided to go onto railway
@@Pit-jt3lw It was mainly price work. On FED glass panels I was making around 400£/day. On white cupboard doors/ironmongery around 300£/day. Working from 8AM to 5PM with 1x 1 hour break.

Thanks for that my mate is in a simillar set up in wembley and pays 1.5k a month so yeah agree this is too much
It sounds like you got a pretty good deal. The market rate in my area (Sutton/Worcester Park/Epsom) is about £1700-2000/month for a three bedroom house with garden, although it would probably be a bit too far out for someone working in Canary Wharf.
2100 is too much.
Nice Balcony? I’m guessing you stayed at the Arena Towers! Currently looking to purchase a property in that tower!
Whist this apartment is on the pricey side (considering it looks fairly basic), everyone is assuming that it will be rented out by one individual. It’s very possible 3 separate people will split the bill for 2k each. Yes - you could probably afford a mansion in the middle of nowhere, but you’re forgetting that significant value is added for CW workers living as close to the office as possible when having to work 90 hour weeks.
I visited a one bedroom and a studio apartment as I wanted to rent my first place there but upon inspection,I realised it's impossible to get fresh air because the entire glass of the whole building is sealed and that includes the gym indoor.Spectacular views and I was sold the moment I walked into the apartment until I found out you cannot open any of the windows or glass doors to let in fresh air.Possible to open the glass window but opening it leads to another glass which is completely shut.Mind you this wasn't what it looked like with all the cushions and lambs,etc this one is just their showroom for ads.
with £6000 a month i would stay in a hotel, have my room cleaned every day and still have half of that money left to spend...outrageous prices

@@Still472 that is a medium price, mediocre means average so yes my statement still stands. 200 per night will not get you a place anywhere near as nice as this apartment even somewhere cheap, but especially not in central London.

@@baz1184 £200 a day hotel would not actually cost you £200 a day if you were block booking a hotel room for say 6 months + at a time. Maybe even a couple of months +. You'd have to be earning £90-100k a year to even make these places at £3,000 a month rent viable. Or say £60k if you only want to have enough to pay your rent, feed yourself and do literally nothing else 😂. Crazy prices but it's the centre of London I suppose
Only 310k people in the UK earn over £160k per year before tax, the top 1%, roughly £95k after-tax if they pay their fair share!. This apartment rental is £72k per year, which is 76% of your income. Who exactly can afford this madness for such a small space?
It’s because most wealth doesn’t come from earning a wage. Wealth usually comes from entrepreneurship, asset appreciation etc. and to a lesser extent, inheritance. Bank of England printing 150 billion this year so plenty of money around.
it's roughly £200 a day to live there and at the end of it they walk away with nothing to show.
@@arthurrambo9663 The numbers above are based on taxable income, which includes capital agins, interest on savings etc, not only wages. Plus at the end of the year, they have nothing to show for that £72k.
@@vinniesuperstar8923 Exactly! you'd have to be stupid to rent that nonsence. It's a 2 bed apartment with no balcony or terrace!
@@MrRobot222 it’s more about the location, it’s right in front of all the investment banks and in the private estate
£72,000 a year for the first apartment and you’ll never own it! That’s insane to me. I think this is great for a short term let e.g. 3mths for business but long term it’s a waste of money. As a born and bred Londoner, the real estate prices in London are now beyond ridiculous!
150% agree
over priced cheap-looking at that.
It’s all relative. It’s super expensive but it’d be cheaper to rent than doing short term lets, so I can easily see a company taking it out on long term lease and giving it to visiting executives staying for a month rather than paying for a hotel or Airbnb.
@PrimeVids There is no sane individual that would go ahead with this long term. If you super wealthy, you would buy it. If you can afford the rent for 72k a year, your earnings and outgoings should make you elible for at least a mortgage on a decent place. There is no good reason to throw away 72k like this.
@@danm4320 not necessarily. Let’s assume the yield on this property is 4%, the value would be £1.8m.
Stamp duty assuming this is the only property is £130k or £184k if a second property (highly likely).
Deposit of 25% is £450k. The opportunity cost on this (assume can get a return of 6%) is £27k a year.
Interest cost on £1.35m mortgage at say 2.5% is £34k a year.
So your real plus opportunity cost is already £61k, ie £11k less than renting and for the stamp duty to make sense, you’d need to own the property for £184k/£11k = 17 years.
Selling costs would be around 1% so anything from £20k upwards (another 2 years at £11k gap per year).
So unless you’re intending on buying and holding this property for the medium to long term, praying for an uptick in value, it makes financial sense to rent this property.
£72,000 a year not including council tax, energy bills and other costs. Hard to imagine an individual shelling out that amount from their own pocket on a rented property. My guess is that high earning senior management and execs who travel a lot for work will have their living costs paid for them by their companies will be likely tenants. Surely nobody would pay that otherwise.
Those I bank guys will be able to afford.
@@chanhenri9172 Afford yes, but it would be an unwise investment to say the least when they could buy instead. Kind of money down the drain unless your employer is paying it for you.
@@chanhenri9172 employees working in canary wharf would not splash out £72k a year of their salary for rent lol. Its definitely companies covering the costs of colleagues who are temporarily working in that location
It will be companies renting for their staff (directors etc) and very wealthy people staying there. There are a lot of wealthy people from other nations who are renting in the area (wood wharf included).
@@UnseenSpirit seems really nonsensical though, especially from a company perspective. Why would you throw £6k down the drain per month for a single person’s accommodation? Glutinous behaviour in my opinion.
It's a great place but as many people are now working from home you don't necessarily need to be here . You can live way out of London , keep your career , save a fortune and have a simpler life .
That being said , the views are spectacular .
if it catches fire you can parachute of of the window great way of seeing London
The thing about london is that most big firms are located in london so either you pay for traveling or you stay in london, yes there is work from home ever since covid but eventually you have to go back and work from the office
Soon get fed up with the views.
Growing up in South West London this is not surprising as I have seen prices in and around London grow rapidly. Now living outside of London and knowing how much you can get for your money….damn with this sort of money 💰 you could live like a king 👑.
I have no idea how many people would be able to afford that renting price. 6K was basically the deposit I gave to buy my 3 bedrooms house here in Belfast... At the end The flat seems superb with an amazing view but it is for a very selective group of people! Best luck, youd did a great video!
A lot to like here but I do think that price is a bit steep, speaking as somebody living 2 stops away and can see CW from my flat. £4K would feel better for me, and that's after I've accounted for the view.
I do really enjoy the social / shared parts of the flats though, a lot of nice touches here.
I pay 8k$ in New York for a 1 bedroom in an old shitty building.
Remember viewing a few apartments in Canary Wharf & some of them didn't include amenities in the rent but a separate cost instead, however, I do think Canary is pretty fair in terms of what you're getting value for money-wise. I ended up getting an apartment in south bank, great views & a little more spacious but south bank is quite pricey when you consider how similar a lot of the apartments are to canary wharf.
‘Investing’ in property is an investment in the continued poverty of your fellow citizens. Affordable housing is a basic need, that underpins a civil society. Imagine having a portfolio of surplus food, that you drip fed to people, at ever increasing prices they struggled to afford? I sold all my investment property 15 years ago, when i realised i was partly the cause of poverty, not only in my own country, but also the places where i had bought foreign property. I’m all for people making money, but ‘investing’ in property is just gross and cynical. Keep your money in other marketplaces, but don’t become a member of the ‘rentier’ class. Interestingly, following the French Revolution, it wasn’t the monarchy that went to the guillotine first, but the greedy landlords, living off the working poor.
Where are you investing nowadays ? Just looking for tips
Well said. Land barons and serfdom still exist. Thatcherite right to buy. Her one rational policy. But of course she, and every party following her never built enough houses to sustain this idea. Every human deserves a decent living wage, and a decent retirement. People below 30 mostly agree they will never see a decent pension. Considering this, and everything else that is diabolical. We still lay dormant arguing over the wrong things.
A lot of people in Britain today are deeply lacking in genuine empathy unfortunately. People have been conditioned by media and industry to think primarily of themselves and to accumulate signifiers of their own success rather than to care much for community, making up for this by tweeting "Be Kind" every six months or liking some shallow post along the lines of "mental health, it's important, yeah?". I'm glad you had your realisation, multiple home ownership is honestly crass unless you're willing to be a dedicated helpful, non-profiteering landlord, but those are very hard to come by indeed.

I passed by last month was impressed by the sheer amounts of new skyscrapers being built around Cw isle of dogs
The people talking about how it’s stupid renting here as you could get a massive house for the same price 40 minutes further out don’t get the target market: this flat is for the people who ALREADY have that Surrey house. It’s for people who work in big collar jobs in Canary Wharf, to rent for those evenings where they can’t be bothered to drive home, or need to work late, and who don’t appreciate the inconvenience of having to book and pack for hotels. And as the flat is big, they can also host the wife and kids here some weekends so they can more easily have fun in the city. They probably also have a countryside retreat, maybe a 300 year old cottage in the Cotswolds, that they spend every other weekend in.
I'm kind of surprised by the finishings though, The views and location are incredible, but I feel they should have used to opportunity to really make it feel luxurious. It comes across a bit spartan and actually does seem like a rental, and I feel that for the price tag it really shouldn't. I mean minimal can still be high end and luxurious, but here the finishings just make it come across a bit midrange despite million-dollar views and location.
Totally agree
yup looks like any Holiday inn epxress room but with light colours instead of dark. Guess its just the price for the views. The location isnt even that great IMO, Canary Wharf is east london which is not that close to central.
They went for the "austere" look and it ended up looking "unfinished and underdelivered" I say.

@@husnainshah443 if you can afford that price tag you might as well buy next door at Landmark Pinnacle. Additionally the views towards the city will be blocked once construction restarts on the plot directly across the road
@@alexanderjohnstone6761 yeah true but remember it is rent, so if you want to ever leave your free to do so
@@markohenry5891 idk about the uk but in the US once you get a house mortgage it isn’t easy to just leave and sell it. Some people will sell it back to the bank, but that can affect your credit score in the long run. If you have a super high credit score then it may do little damage. And after that it will be harder to just buy another house, seeing as you didn’t finish paying your last house mortgage. But renting is for people who aren’t looking to buy.
@@husnainshah443 In america we have leases (basically contracts) so if you signed on for a year, but after 6 months want to move. You have to pay to a lease termination fee. If you just up and move without paying termination fee, you could be sued. So renting still isn’t “freedom to just leave” there is a process(in the US). The lease goes into other rules too, some landlords are very strict than others.

It's not uncommon for some of the top investment banks and hedge funds to shell out for their top executives with apartments like these, it's not always payed for by the tenant themselves. Mortgages are not 'always' the more affordable option - that's 2015 thinking; the latest data for London in 2021 finds that in many cases mortgage payments can be higher than flat-out renting.
It doesn't matter if mortgage repayments are slightly higher than rent payments - at the end of the day it's an investment. You can sell on the mortgage or the property. Rent just disappears. If you're in a position to mortgage you usually should.
Really nice apartments, love the views. £6k a month seems a bit much for a 3 bedroom. I looked at the 1 bed and its £2300 a month - not even sure if council tax is included but seems way overpriced imo

if you afford something like this, just...buy it. at the end you actually have something of value that you own and in any case you can sell it for the money you've paid. rent is a solution for some scenarios, but going all aboard with monthly rents is just stupid, throwing money away.

@Harvey Parker That exactly what I do ,I trade with an Expert called Jeff Clark and with his experience and skills I am able to make maximum profit of my trade after 14 days of intensive trading.
Do you know how much that can be okay for a start?and I will grateful if you give me an easy way to contact him.
@Bruce Wheeler Thank you so much , I will surly write to him.
I lost over $50,000 USD trading on my own ,and since then,I have been scared of losing more money.
“Notice that sound of cheap chipboard underneath laminate veneer as I open and close cupboards and drawers, reminiscent of that IKEA furniture you had to endure when you were poor”
I have not watched the video yet. But based on the title alone, 6000 per month… Is that reasonable for a family in the UK? That seems exorbitantly high from my perch here in Indianapolis.
Welcome to London
I live 2 Tube stops from here and can see it from my flat, and although London is expensive, I would say £6K is extremely expensive / overpriced.
It is a nice area, views are obviously great, the building itself is quite striking from the outside too, and the flats are spacious and well appointed but nothing special really.
I would say location, space, rooms and view I'd not want to pay more than £4K a month for this. I'm not an expert on property, but have some local knowledge, so take that how you will.
Yep, we're all Rich here.
Do you need me to break you off some change?
@@TheNoirAlien no thank you
You'd be looking at anywhere between 1200-2500 for a 2 bed depending on how far from the center you are
"What's really cool is that as you go up the view is very similar so it's cool"
Nice view of the thames but that will be reduced by 50% once they get around to building the massive high rise on the section directly in front.
It does look nice but there are a few things that made me think “ hm. That was not practical”
stupid question but how do they do the sofas outside if it rains? the sofas will be wet and damp
The way you guys explain is really loving and soothing. Keep going
I work in canary wharf, there’s literally ntg special about living there. Could get a nice apartment near central london for 6K
Strange question, when the window was open for Juilette balcony how was the smell?
A fragrant combination of pollution and sewage.
@@muckyeyes89 I see you have london’ed before
6k per month and the first thing I noticed was the cheap bathroom cabinets @1:13 and plastic sockets throughout - the finish has been done on the cheap
For £6k a month, i thought it would be better than that
Ohhh this girl loves storage and he loves the views.
Wow, definitely have to be a millionaire to rent this monthly
Not at all man, this is quite reasonable price for this apartment
Nope rent should max be 1/3 of monthly income. So as a minimum you should be making per month for this flat is £18K PCM ideally 20K PCM though
You'd probably flatshare this with a good friend to split the bills tbh
Live in a van and you have no rent to pay.
@@jamesritchie3562 you're better of renting a room in London considering congestion + parking charges
The 6k one is pricey but the second one is decent especially when you consider the amenities
Don't understand why people waste money living in a shit flat when you could buy a literal mansion in a nice well off town in Essex Surrey , Kent etc and still be close enough to commute to london for the same price
Some people actually like living in cities and also some people don't like commuting every day.
What a cool channel for an estate agent, sans commission...
I used to clean luxury apartments. I could never feel home in a place like that though. I felt so much more like myself when I came back home to my simple flat with zero luxuries and beauty lol 😆
You have to say this loudly 3 times a day to believe it. Otherwise, imagine how miserable your life would be living in some sh*thole place and then having to clean all these amazing places every single day.
Excluding the views, you can get similar apartments up north for 1/4 of the price. And 3 years of renting will be able to buy you a similarly sized house, without the ground floor common area of course. Having said that, 6k per month for this particularly in Canary Wharf is a relative steal; I know people in Stratford paying £1300 per month for single room bedsits basically.
@@sambroughton The main appeal in cities is "night life is good" same thing; novelty wears off soon. Night life is great, observed from my high rent window haha.
Beautiful apartment guys, love how light and airy it is, and yes I would be happy working at that desk looking at that view. I personally prefer the first apartment, My complete style of interior very modern and minimal 👍, amazing amenities
, 😃
paul hilvert, your saying the apartment is airy reminded me of an episode of Fawlty Towers, in which a guest asks Mr. Fawlty, in reference to a room, "is it airy? ", and he replies "well, there is air in it" :)
£200/night hotel room basically, except you also have to pay for food, energy, house keeping and council tax. Have to have more money than sense to rent one of these places.
Great video!!! We should be careful on money useage, if you are not spending to earn back, then stop spending
I don't think anybody should be left out when going for digital assets
Bitcoin investment is great unlike the stock market and other financial. Bitcoin has no centralized location since it operates 24 hours a day in different part of the world
I lost some funds trading on a platform then i was referred to Mr Adam walter. He recovered the loss and made an extra profit using his trade tactics.
@Morgan Imm Okay...not tryna sound skeptical but how good is this adam walter ?
@Morgan Imm Oh mr adam walter!! has really made a good name for himself, always good reports all round for this honest man.
VERY GOOD FOOTAGE AND TOUR NICE STUFF.
with 6k a month, i would probably be living with 5 more people...(2 in each bedroom) and the one who gets nicer bedroom pays a little more.
😂😂😂😂😂
I love this video thanks Matt&Summer
I was so annoyed when they built this building because it completely blocks the view of the city from Canary Warf, I just couldn't believe it. They would not have got permission if it wasn't for the fact that the whole area is privately owned.
there is still an empty space in front of it for another building that will block the view in the future
Come and join us in Namibia in the coastal city of Swakopmund. Two bed, 2 1/2 bath apartments with garage and balcony for R700 000. That's a flat - to BUY - for the price of just six month's rent there in London! 😀
The apartments are stunning but way to high up for me!
You can get 2 bedroom apartment for 2k under in dockland for similar view different location, and it’s just couple of stop using dlr
