I do like the Holland Park house, and I love Holland Park, but...Windlesham is just a wee bit too much for my taste.

isn't it terrifying the amount of money one doesn't have?

I genuinely never realised how much I don't have until I started coming to MSE. My eyes have been opened to the vast amounts others, even here, have. Over on DFW, people in debt while having a takehome pay of £5-6k/month !!!!

Unbelievable!

I earnt about £9k in 2005-2006, while paying a big mortgage (OK, I was paying the mortgage by drawing down the 2nd mortgage I'd raised to do that though.... but I knew what I was doing and I knew I was on borrowed time).

Unbelievable sums some people have.

The Times has the same story, and saying there are a load of possible repossessions lined up for Mayfair.

I always knew I had expensive taste but not the money to go with it! Love both of those houses (not the repo one though) although the one in the States has to be my favourite.

Oh well better start saving then :rotfl:

"Tim Blenkin, the Mayfair-based estate agent, said: “There are five potential repossessions in Mayfair this year, which is unheard of.”

when I hear about spivs going under it makes my heart ***sing with joy***.
I take particular pleasure with this one
but, as someone pointed out over on the times 'have your say' page: the place was owned by a jersey-based holdings co.

so, technically, miladdo didn't 'own' it in the conventional sense. am I right?

That says it all really. Just another city spiv gambing with someone else's money

It is a dream of mine to have a bathroom with both a fireplace and a sofa in it.
