£2m, it has a lovely library room 😍0

There's a property on the market under 5 miles from me for £65m.
If I had a spare few billion I *might* buy it. Goodness knows how much it'd cost to upkeep.

There’s an equestrian estate for £18m, that I wouldn’t want.
next is a beautiful house for 17m, that I would happily live in.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

£10million here - a 14 bedroom grade 1 listed mansion set in 80 acres. Would I buy it? No - it’s seemingly been decorated by someone whose regular accessories include a Labrador and a white stick, it’s Grade 1 listed so you’d essentially need to apply for permission to even breathe in it, and it’s even closer to the airport flight path than we are here - and we get a fair bit of aircraft noise at times! (And don’t get me started on how much the stamp duty would be!)🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00
Balance as at 31/08/24 = £105,400.00 Balance as at 31/12/24 = £102,500.00

£3.5 million, Grade two listed, seven bedrooms, separate cottage and some barns. And most excitingly a lake with islands in the grounds. I'll take it0

£2.75m, 8 beds 8 baths Scottish baronial with 4 acres and a nice (indoor!) swimming pool. If I had a good number of 10s of millions I'd get an interior designer to fix some questionable carpet/wallpaper choices, install a lift, and invite some friends to retire there with us in due course.0

£18m and no, i wouldn't buy it... a modern mansion that is not particularly garish, but just far far too big for me. If i was going to spend that kind of money, I would want a glamourous location and a sea view

£1.4m.
Much better than the new build box for £1m a couple down the list.1 -
£7,995,000 but many in the £3-4 000 000 range most of which I could possibly settle for as of course being able to afford the house it naturally follows that you could afford both indoor an outoor staff to maintain them.1

I can only go to £15M , but within 5 miles there are 47 properties for sale above £5M, so maybe I win the numbers game ( for outside London anyway) ?RobfromCornwall said:There's a property on the market under 5 miles from me for £65m.
