I must be really sad (or bonkers......or both
) 'cos I'd love to have a London bolthole (and it's not much bigger than a hole for a bolt!) in that location and would be tempted even by something soooooooo miniscule.......but DH would kill me as he hates the place! Wouldn't be much room for all my bags of designer goodies either, lol! Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

To me it makes good sense to a certain type of buyer if you think about it a bit.Someone has put in an offer of 120k?!?! Some people have more money than sense...it really is a !!!! hole, I dont care what the foyer looks like or that it is right in front of harrods. You would be living in an old broom cupboard!
I doubt very much if anyone is ever going to live there full time. If you do the maths: a train season ticket from the suburbs will cost in the order of £2,200, or a longer commute from say Brighton will cost around £3,400.
By staying in London, you save a substantial amount in money and time. You could stay in a hotel, or rent a larger place, but that would be expensive too, at a minimum of around £400 a week.
The beauty of somewhere like this is that you get a permanent base, that you can store a few work clothes and get a night's sleep if you want it while earning big bucks in the city and, with 87 years left on the lease, you can almost guarantee that once it gets too oppressive for you to live in you will be able to sell up and get all your money back, or hopefully a sizeable profit.
And that is not even considering the fact that you would be eligible for a parking permit, which has an (admittedly dodgy) resale value in itself.
SPCome on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.0 -
Pics 2 and 3 - have they used gloss paint on the ceiling and walls? It's far shinier than even silk emulsion.0

I know I've posted this before, but it is now timely.
