    You can build a pretty lavish 30,000 sq ft house for £200/sq ft, so say £6m in total. Maybe £10m if you go overboard. So, the build cost is trivial compared to the land cost.

    It is still madness!

    I think the large number of tacky gin palaces on sale has something to do with the Premiership footballers' transfer window being open.

    You are right, it does look like a hotel - but don't you think a lot of modern, expensive houses do? I did actually once read a description of a house in London (Bishops Avenue?) which actually boasted of 'hotel style bathrooms':eek:

    Now this is really to my taste - but I think it would have to be a Euromillions draw on its last rollover to achieve:rotfl:
