The records for most expensive items are often broken with decisive margins. And it is the same for the most expensive house sale in UK. The record that stands at £140million could be broken by over 100{fd7a71754c4b2492a5acea4a7087fced0d4b8b0809d1d1a8bcd40133362fb51f} as a majestic property overlooking Hyde Park has hit the market for an asking price of £300 million. If the mansion finds a buyer at close to the asking price then the new record will be difficult to match or break. Properties of this size and grandeur are few and far between and they rarely come to the market.
Properties Like This Come to the Market Very Rarely
The Rutland Gate property is perhaps the largest family home in London. The pre-war mansion is seven stories tall and is spread over a lot that is equal to the size of a football field. It was constructed at a time when land was available in abundance. In the current scenario you won’t find a house of this size in the area. Property consultant Charles McDowell believes the buyer will have to pay a premium for the exclusive nature of the property. Property of this size and value come to the market very rarely and if you miss this one you might have to wait really long for something similar to come on the market. And even when it comes it will definitely be excessively expensive.
The Property Consultants are Marketing the Mansion Privately
The mansion with 45 bedrooms was originally built as four separate houses but was later clubbed into a grand mansion. The mansion which is stucco-fronted boasts of a swimming pool, industrial kitchens and several elevators. Late Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, who was assassinated in February 2005 also lived in the mansion for a while. Very few people in this world would be able to afford this property. Only the top half of the billionaires list could be a potential buyer. Hence the property consultants are marketing it privately and approaching potential international buyers directly. The most expensive homes have a charm of their own and they always find a buyer who is willing to pay the premium.
