With a £175m price tag, property developer Nick Candy’s penthouse at One Hyde Park is in a league of its own. For those who collect homes like trophies, this is the blingiest in the cabinet. It’s the UK’s most expensive apartment. But can it possibly be worth it?
Well, for your £175m (payment by Bitcoin or Ethereum accepted – Candy has said he thinks they’re the next “big opportunity” in property), you get 18,000 sq ft of two-storey, lateral luxury overlooking Hyde Park. There are five huge bedroom suites and an octagonal marble bathroom fit for an oligarch. There’s all the fun stuff too, of course: the champagne room and golf simulator, spa, gym, media room and so on.

DUBAI: Middle Eastern investors are making a return to the British property market, as the UK begins to emerge from the lockdown restrictions as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
According to the latest data compiled by global property consultancy Knight Frank, investors from the Middle East made up 16 percent of all sales to overseas buyers in the first three months of this year, compared to less than 10 percent during the second and third quarters of 2020.
While this is the highest level of Middle Eastern interest since the pandemic began last summer, the report said the total numbers were still lower than pre-pandemic levels.
