@@ailaiit9570 I live in HK, and it’s the same rule for London and every other highly populated cities, people wouldn’t want to live in areas that’s far away from downtown.

*I have lived here for 4 years now, its been amazing. its been a slice of everything i wanted in a house* [2 seconds later] *the house is on sale for £1 million*
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 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.
@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.
It is beautifully decorated but oh my gosh, claustrophobia kicking in.. as they were showing it, I kept looking for a wider room with desperation. Seeing her sit in that chair really shows just how tiny it is.

@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’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.
this is literally the most ridiculous shit i have ever seen. this house is massive, it’s just narrow. it’s the same width as thousands of two bedroom terrace houses that you find in towns and cities that are literally so small the bathrooms are always an extension because they were built back when you had the toilet outside. this is the most ‘rich people are oblivious to the real world’ shit i have ever seen
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.
Why would those designers put 4 bedrooms? Bad decision. A family isn’t gonna live there. And 4 roommates would be bumping into each other doing laundry and in the kitchen. Knock down a wall or 2 and make it a 2 bedroom.
She probably means more in the evenings and at night? Though she only a couple of doors down from a pub so her version of quiet night be noisier than yours...
Cafes are day time places. I would love to have one next door to me. Fresh coffee and a lovely atmosphere. Now a pub would be another matter. Would live on a street with one let alone beside me.
For 1 Million you can get a good sized semi-detached house in Richmond or Surrey which has better locations than the slim house. I don't think it's worth 1 mill
Ikr, it could buy few houses (or town houses) way bigger than this with nice exotic view to your own green rice paddies, or few beach houses with beach view. Choose one to live, and rent the other houses for tourists.
I love how they keep saying how narrow the home is but never mention that it goes back very very deep. I mean even if narrow it is around 1034 square feet according to some of the articles I've read on it. At that size I bet there are plenty of other places in London that are close to as expensive and much smaller.
@LifezLife You're right. Gillian is wrong. Due to the huge influx of people into the UK over the years, space is at a premium and having to support all of those people in such a small space results in the UK having the smallest new houses in Europe.
Natalie Di not solely, but more houses are having to be built per plot, hundreds of thousands are coming here each year. The breeding of chavs also has an impact, but housing demand is far exceeding supply.
Not to be racist but that is typical marketing in that area of the world . To brand things based on its faults and make seem it's that which is higher and better
I could ABSOLUTELY live happily in this luxurious narrow house, how beautiful the design is...it heals me somehow just only watching this house, don't know why, I find it so peaceful 💙💙💙
jain thorne and there are other people that if they had a million pounds would go elsewhere and get more for their money, it’s not even detached. 🤷🏻♀️
smt170 It’s called marketing. A lot of people want to move to the city, so you make the apartment/house more expensive so you get a higher profit. That’s why all homes near the city are expensive.
spacebug30 nah because the house in the countryside will depreciate value where’s the one in London will go double even triple in value. This is real state investment
amazing that people prefer cities, what a wonderful spread of opinions humans have! personally i hate being surrounded by so many people and having no nature or mountains around, i couldn't hack it!
This is actually quite spacious. My house is a converted corner shop, it's 12ft wide at the front and only 3ft wide at the back, it is tiny, far smaller, only 1 bedroom and I love it. It's not about size, it's about the quality of life that you live within the 4 walls.
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.
@@ChrisLitton seems like fewer people are getting more homes. My land lord had a tower with 10 units now had around 30 units. My uncles had their house and now each had between 2 and 4 houses / apartments each. My grand parents had a house and an apartment in down town and now have another 2 houses. No a single or my cousins can afford even a small apartment and every days seems more and more difficult. Last year I was about to finally buy my own apartment and it went over 30k asking price.
It is a bubble dude. Prices climbing steadily for years? That's called bubble. Maybe in a couple years we'll have another '08 recession and I can get a house half off
Easily the nicest narrow house I've seen, and yes, I absolutely would live here if I could afford the purchase price. Excellent renovation, especially the adding of two bedrooms, and I love the back green space. Also nice to see a small space that is more traditional in design and furnishings, and not modern minimalist. Love this one.
Realize this is single person living here.. as for no noise maybe the English are mindful of their neighbors. We Americans seem to think we need big big. I just moved to a small town with older small homes. No big yards to take care of but parks down the streets. This is a lovely comfy house. Very pretty. Thank you for posting it.

I doubt it's really noisy
She probably means more in the evenings and at night? Though she only a couple of doors down from a pub so her version of quiet night be noisier than yours...
Cafes are day time places. I would love to have one next door to me. Fresh coffee and a lovely atmosphere. Now a pub would be another matter. Would live on a street with one let alone beside me.
Belinda yeah but people probably aren't there at 10 pm or 3 am. They are at home. In a flat someone can decide they want to throw a late night party.
For 1 Million you can get a good sized semi-detached house in Richmond or Surrey which has better locations than the slim house. I don't think it's worth 1 mill
Maybe it's the camera, but it just feels kinda claustrophobic :/
I agree, I got claustrophobic feelings just watching
MusicloverX88 djvvnj
Its 7foot wide it IS claustraphobic
Agree, I better like the idea of splitting the building horizontally rather than vertically. It looks beautiful though.
MusicloverX88 its all that crap shes got everywhere ...crowded decor books everywhere ..awful
She traded in her “flat” for a slim 😂
Moving up slowly, next is that semi detached then a detached home
When it’s kind of a tiny house but still cost more than your life’s saving
Most houses do.....lol Around here at least.
221b baker street.
Aditi sharma. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson's house.
😂
Aditi sharma I.......
Stalker lol jk
Thank you ;)
She’s selling it? I thought she was happy there!
i think she was just renting "for 10% more than what she rented her flat for". maybe the owners are selling
Karina Karina I thought the same
Maybe she got a job elsewhere.
It says she's the owner.
Karina Karina she wants to buy a pet hamster so needs a bigger place which will be big enough for the hamster cage.
With that kind of money you can move to Bali and retire early..
Benji dimas yes so true.
Benji dimas and buy a house that 5x large than this 😂
and have an exotic view + live by the beach + probably open a business to make a living
Hahaha Benji, ga cuma di Bali aja bro. Rumah 1 juta Pounds mah = 15 milyar Rupiah, seharga rumahnya Syahrini kali ya 😁😁😁
Ikr, it could buy few houses (or town houses) way bigger than this with nice exotic view to your own green rice paddies, or few beach houses with beach view. Choose one to live, and rent the other houses for tourists.
It feels big actually... that's odd...
I choked when she said it's a 4 bedroom house and now I'm jealous.
I love how they keep saying how narrow the home is but never mention that it goes back very very deep. I mean even if narrow it is around 1034 square feet according to some of the articles I've read on it. At that size I bet there are plenty of other places in London that are close to as expensive and much smaller.
British houses are already too small, there’s no need to make them even smaller
LifezLife
You obviously haven't seen a variety of British houses. Many are huge.
My house is hugeeee and I live in Yorkshire
@LifezLife You're right. Gillian is wrong. Due to the huge influx of people into the UK over the years, space is at a premium and having to support all of those people in such a small space results in the UK having the smallest new houses in Europe.
Ahahahahahahhaahahhaahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahhaahah the UK having small houses is not due to immigration.
Natalie Di not solely, but more houses are having to be built per plot, hundreds of thousands are coming here each year. The breeding of chavs also has an impact, but housing demand is far exceeding supply.
It doesn’t even look that narrow 😂
Because youre watching from a screen. The camera enlarges the picture. You can get a scale when theres a person talking. Looks really small then
Wide angle camera dude. That’s why it looks wide
If it's 7 foot wide lay down and add roughly a foot or 2 (assuming you're not 7 foot) and that's it.
Isn't everybody "interested in interesting spaces"? That guy is just making it up as he goes along.
Not to be racist but that is typical marketing in that area of the world . To brand things based on its faults and make seem it's that which is higher and better
It limits the mind from learning rejection
Aren’t we all
This is such a lovely house. Every room is modern and very nice looking. Yes, I would live in that house.
Love it. And quiet is priceless!
Fuck yeah, I’d live there!!!
It’s stunning ♥️
+Business Insider I'd definitely move to this house. It has it all. Congratulations to the architects for all the work and creativity.
This actually looks kinda perfect. A back yard also. I’d live here in a second.
I love unconventional and quirky spaces. They have so much character.
I could ABSOLUTELY live happily in this luxurious narrow house, how beautiful the design is...it heals me somehow just only watching this house, don't know why, I find it so peaceful 💙💙💙
It’s amazing but not worth a million 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
smt170 not worth it? Damn you clearly don’t know about the market
Al Gibani you clearly don’t, it’s only worth that much because of its location.
It's worth whatever people will pay for it.
jain thorne and there are other people that if they had a million pounds would go elsewhere and get more for their money, it’s not even detached. 🤷🏻♀️
smt170 It’s called marketing. A lot of people want to move to the city, so you make the apartment/house more expensive so you get a higher profit. That’s why all homes near the city are expensive.
Imagine loud neighbours on either side of the wall lol
Thats why she is moving..
Gorgeous house. I'd love to live there. The design features are so me.
I love all the skylights. Brilliant!
This space is amazing! I love it,and the garden.
If you have that kind of money, why not move to the countryside and buy a massive mansion for that price...
spacebug30 nah because the house in the countryside will depreciate value where’s the one in London will go double even triple in value. This is real state investment
Some people prefer living in cities. I know I do. It's just a matter of personal taste.
Because she doesn't want to live in the countryside. Simple really.
Blue99 if I have that kind of money I will just buy a less fancy home n not bother working anymore
amazing that people prefer cities, what a wonderful spread of opinions humans have! personally i hate being surrounded by so many people and having no nature or mountains around, i couldn't hack it!
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 this 💯
Yea buddy thank you. Some people choose homelessness due to their condition it’s sad. Mental health needs to be treated more diligently.
@@yeabuddy6070 Many are severe addicts BECAUSE of the mental illness (they self medicate and eventually need a stronger and stronger high).
the interior designer did so well on the downstairs
Yes, I would live in this house, I really admire how creative designers can be with small spaces.
This is actually quite spacious. My house is a converted corner shop, it's 12ft wide at the front and only 3ft wide at the back, it is tiny, far smaller, only 1 bedroom and I love it. It's not about size, it's about the quality of life that you live within the 4 walls.
Wow! Sounds interesting.
Very clever design. Tasteful and relaxing interior.
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.
Yes I've been by that one in Paris many times and always wanted to see inside.
No way would I live in this. This assumes you have few things. However the designers did an amazing job. It’s looks like a home fit for one person.
House prices are crazy nowadays. This spike doesn't feel like an organic grow. Hope it is not a bubble
Lack of supply and increase in demand. I'm only in my early 30s I've all but given up on owning my own property.
@@ChrisLitton seems like fewer people are getting more homes. My land lord had a tower with 10 units now had around 30 units. My uncles had their house and now each had between 2 and 4 houses / apartments each. My grand parents had a house and an apartment in down town and now have another 2 houses. No a single or my cousins can afford even a small apartment and every days seems more and more difficult. Last year I was about to finally buy my own apartment and it went over 30k asking price.
Got to he honest, I hope it's a bubble, high housing prices sucks for the economy and for me lol
@@FrancoCastro older generation buying out multiple properties is often one of the reasons of house price increase
It is a bubble dude. Prices climbing steadily for years? That's called bubble. Maybe in a couple years we'll have another '08 recession and I can get a house half off
Very beautiful vintage home just lovely ❤️❤️❤️
12 Grimmauld Place
Tara 😂nice
Yeah lol
Lol
Reminds me of Hugh Grant’s home in the movie Notting Hill.
Yes 😂
if it's so wonderful then why doesn't she want to live there anymore
I Love this house! so cozy yet spacious feeling!
It’s a beautiful home & not small at all!
People watching who’ve lived in cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong: we’ve been knew
What a beautiful transformation.
Gorgeous, they did a great job remodeling it
Easily the nicest narrow house I've seen, and yes, I absolutely would live here if I could afford the purchase price. Excellent renovation, especially the adding of two bedrooms, and I love the back green space. Also nice to see a small space that is more traditional in design and furnishings, and not modern minimalist. Love this one.
Realize this is single person living here.. as for no noise maybe the English are mindful of their neighbors. We Americans seem to think we need big big. I just moved to a small town with older small homes. No big yards to take care of but parks down the streets. This is a lovely comfy house. Very pretty. Thank you for posting it.
Jesus, I’d rather move somewhere cheaper and have a whole house for a third of that prize.
I’d rather move somewhere expensive and not have my neighbors 10 miles away
@@nikolaishinigami4230 Having your neighbor far is a good thing. You can be noisy and shit.
Love it! ❤ I would live there!
I love it. Looks a lot wider than 7 feet. I am a single unemployed mother living vicariously for a few moments imagining I’m young and carefree and living in a stylish London home.
Wow. It’s gorgeous. Love those windows.
Los Angeles/New York: are you challenging me?
Bernardo Gonzalez more like: Amsterdam: are you challenging me ?
Los Angeles??
Bernardo Gonzalez London always on top New York, LA for decades. The most expensive apartment room in the world called 1 Hyde park a room sold for $120 million, and the most expensive house in the world ever sold is in London a terrace house sold for $500 million
This looks like the headquarters of the Order of Phoenix
This is absolutely amazing and beautiful 😍❤!
Well done for such a narrow structure...lovely!
Brilliantly done interiors!
The garden beeing a main reason for her moving I think it's not very impressive
Svea Nwiem I thought that too, but it looks like this was filmed in winter to be fair. And getting a big garden in any city is hard, in Battersea it's probably very rare
a house in the middle of a public walkway/street with a cafe next door. where’s the privacy and quiet? no thanks.
"Would you live here?" Yes.. if only I had someone to share it with 💔 and wasnt broke ahaha
It’s beautiful xxx stay safe and thanks for sharing
Looks amazing
This house is so charming.
