World's Most Expensive Flat Selling For £140m
The most expensive flat in the world is on the verge of being sold - for £140m.
The apartments have panoramic views of Hyde Park
The property, part of a development by brothers Christian and Nick Candy, is in Knightsbridge - one of the smartest parts of London.
At a cost of more than £6,000 per square foot, the two-floor apartment is within walking distance of Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
It also has a tunnel connecting to the neighbouring Mandarin Oriental Hotel - where top chef Heston Blumenthal is soon to open a restaurant.
The four-bedroom apartment has floor-to-ceiling windows, its own car park and access to all the leisure facilities that a discerning buyer would expect, like health spas and squash courts.
For those who still have big money to spend, McLaren is opening a flagship showroom at the development with prices from anything up to £230,000 for a supercar.

The development is due to be finished by October
As part of the whole complex, copious security features are in place to protect those inside.
They included SAS-trained security guards, bullet-proof windows, an air purifier to combat poison gas attacks and a "panic room", in which the owner can hide if under attack.
Estate agents admitted the amount of money offered is a surprise They said, at one moment, there was an over-supply in the top end of the property market, then there was a shortage.
Experts said many foreign buyers have moved into the British market because it represents good value, compared with other countries, due to the fall of the pound.

Even so, £140m is enough to raise the eyebrows of even the mega-rich.
The nationality of the buyer is not known but, inevitably, there is mention of a Russian obligarch or an Arab billionaire.
While most of the block has been sold, 35% of properties are still waiting for new owners.
The Candy brothers bought the office block site for £150m in 2004.
They hit the headlines recently because of their legal action against the Qatari ruling family, the al Thanis, and their plans to develop Chelsea Barracks.
The legal action was brought - and subsequently settled - after the Qatari group was persuaded by the Prince of Wales to ditch its redevelopment.

Thanking you.

Sounds class.. If I was a billionaire, i'd have apartments like that all over the shop..

I would have thought in these straitened times it would be the other way around; people have more sense than money? As in I'd never have bought that 350k one bed apartment in Sandyford if I'd known it would leave me broke.

I used to just tell my Ma, "Ah there must be worse cooks than you over there then!"

Sweet, comes with SAS trained guards! They could pretend to be my friends. They'd want to be damn good friends for that price too! I'd expect at least 2 surprise birthday parties a year.

I always wondered what happened to you Sis, and was never told whether you were abandoned or put up for adoption.

Needless to say, after you disappeared, we ate all of the meals without complaining, and each of us now weighs in excess of 35 stone.:eek:

Um, get somebody to make you it for less?
