  • Business Insider UK got an inside look at the 'slim house' in London; a home that measures only 7.5ft wide.
    The narrow building features 3 floors, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and was renovated by architects alma-nac, who added features to the house to maximise every inch of the limited space.
    Take a look inside the home that appears small on the outside, but is deceptively large inside.
    It is on sale for £1 million.
    Would you live in this house?

      Thats the whole point in real estate. Buy low sale high. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking the property. Just good business. Most house especially new ones in good locations after 4/5 years can almost double the original listing price. But maybe you don't know, and that is okay as well.

      ​@Therese A. Judith Izzo-Davis What's the common way?

    • @TheClearSummer
      @TheClearSummer 3 года назад +7

      @Therese A. Judith Izzo-Davis So if I'm lucky enough for my parents to have a house of their own, you'd assume I just sit on government benefits and wait for them to kick the bucket and then make my riches that way? I get what you're saying, but having good luck and privilege is as much a fraction of the reason for success as hard work is. The difference is that hard work is reliable and gives you control over your life, luck does not, and that's why I think it's important for everyone, regardless of their background, to focus on the things they can do, rather than the things that may or may not make a difference to your life. Having a good hand in life, in my opinion, also should not devalue any hard work or effort put in regardless. I felt like your comment attributing everything to someone being 'more lucky' just encourages a mentality of helplessness, but while hard work doesn't guarantee success, no work definitely guarantees failure, and I just think one is clearly the lesser of two evils.
      That's just my view anyway, but it's OK if you disagree.

    • @TheClearSummer
      @TheClearSummer 3 года назад +4

      @Therese A. Judith Izzo-Davis That is exactly what I meant by luck. The point I was trying to make that is that, once you're on the property ladder - which is completely achievable (especially with the current UK government support schemes), and many people do achieve this, without relying on inherited money or property - anyone CAN make money through property investment, renovation, rental etc. It's not always the best option if you don't have good investment or design sense, and it's not always a reliable route of income, and it's usually a LOT of work and hassle, especially if you live in the property you're renovating - so for a lot of people it's a question of it not being worth the trouble. It is by no means a method only open for the select 'wealthy' who are lucky enough to have a lot of inheritance. But if you're into property and get the ball rolling, then of course it's a lucrative business and that's why we see them all rolling in money. It's not an indication that they necessarily started out that way in the first place.

      @Therese A. Judith Izzo-Davis I think that assumption applies to a lot of people, but not necessarily myself. I only said this because in the States, you can get this house for a much lower price. I wasn’t aware that this is actually a decent price in the UK. I’m a 17 year old girl, working 2 jobs in attempt to move into my own apartment. I don’t need much, and can honestly say that, when I move, I’ll only be bringing a duffel bag of stuff with me. I don’t need more than that. I get joy out of experiences. The assumption that every American is greedy is quite offensive when it doesn’t apply. I’ll give you credit for a LARGE majority of Americans, but this statement doesn’t apply to everyone, and is rude for you to assume it does. Even if it was true of me, you couldn’t necessarily blame me for believing that since it’s literally the entire economy over here. We’re taught to climb the corporate ladder as quickly as possible and be the wealthiest among our peers. So yes, educating the ignorant, which the previous 2 commenters did, would be correct in this situation. But assuming something of every person from an entire country is not correct in any situation. My original comment was not hate, just showing that I place more value on money than is typical. I’m glad we both got the opportunity to educate each other, and I hope you have a fabulous day.

    • @Czadzikable
      @Czadzikable 6 лет назад +12

      PyroArcanist207 , hmm well we don't know the exact floor space you'd be getting with this narrow house, but the fact that it does have 4 bedrooms + albeit narrow, but still a fairly spacious living area downstairs would still allow a family with say 4 kids to live there (they could get rid of unnecessary stuff that the kids have outgrown and live more minimalist life or use external storage for storing say their winter /Summer stuff) and therefore can be compared to other 4-bed houses, it's just a bit smaller, but it is a terraced house rather than flat, which immediately gives it more value as it's gonna be a freehold rather than a leasehold like most flats..
      And looking at property prices in Battersea on say zoopla, I found: 2-bed flats going for 600k - 2.5mil (big terrace with nice river view seems to bump it up to that..), 2-bed detached houses for 1.5-1.7mil and 3-bed old-build, not renovated, terraced houses for 875k - 1mil...
      So I'd say all of the properties in London are way overpriced, but it would seem to me that this "narrow house" does fit within the brackets that might be expected in that area (considering a lot of 2-bed flats are priced at over 1mil!), though I'm sure that the stylish design & renovation add a bit to the price tag - but that's also gonna be the case in all other properties in the area.

    Yes, I would live in this house, I really admire how creative designers can be with small spaces.

    Beautiful inside and out. Wonderful design work and finishes.
    There is a (slightly famous) house sort of like that in Paris, just south of Notre Dame, but its even skinnier. I'd like to see the inside of that one too.

    Could you imagine building houses like this for the homeless in Los Angeles.

      It would become a drug den within days. Most are severe addicts and have mental illness. California needs to reopen mental institutions statewide.

      Yea buddy thank you. Some people choose homelessness due to their condition it’s sad. Mental health needs to be treated more diligently.
