The layout of that open plan space is unusual, the entire room is large but why have such a cramped TV area? The architect should've made the kitchen larger and have an included dining area... If I had over £8mil to spend, it would be a fast no on this property.
I agree. The only thing this apartment has going for it is the lanai doors to the outdoor space. Honestly if the balconies were about three feet deeper it wouldn't hurt either. The furnishings are certainly not to my taste but hey... I don't live there!!
Looks like the developers prioritized profit above quality. Low ceilings to sell a extra floor. Bad demo furniture. Only the view is prime but they had nothing to do with that 😅
When viewing flats/apartments may I suggest that you mention whether the prices are leasehold or freehold? Most are generally leasehold and in those instances what is the length of the lease and what sort of service charges are there.
Big apartment, no doubt, but you can't compare this view with the ones of Albert Embankment, Jubilee Garden, Blackfriars, or any area close to Tower Bridge. You can find interesting flats for this price or less.
I was loving this appartment, until I saw the closet kitchen. With 5 bedrooms, chances are it will be a family living there, so that kitchen is sub standard.
I appreciate that this is an apartment in London, but 8million 'really' compared to so many that you have shown on this channel I would not touch this one, people living all.around and above you, I would hate it, you have featured stately manors for less money
When you think what that money could buy you somewhere else and the amount of land and garden you'd get with it then that becomes about a £5m view - its good but not that good but nothing like that good...
the ceilings are so low it feels claustrophobic especially in the entryway, you can tell they tried to cram in as many units as they could within the building height limit.
Roman Abramovich is categorically not living in the penthouse. No one is. It's been available for sale since the building was completed and is still for sale to this day.
@@jonathanpaulhooley4159 his yachts are a lot better then then his apartment which he can use, he has got a property outside the U.K. which he can use 🤪
I like you're videos in general. But in this case, using Abramovich as a reference knowing what is going on in the world is a bit tasteless, I would say.
First thing you’d need to do is redecorate, the interior design is a bit gaudy and dated in the main areas, but the bones are good, it could be a great space.
Nowhere near the best water front apartment for sale in London ?? Directly behind the London Eye a penthouse apartment for sale for £17M ….. try and show it on your Chanel ?
The kitchen is built for a chef to cook for you. A kitchen that you actually want to live in would be designed very different. A dark tunnel is obviously built for staff.
Yes but there’s no separate entrance or room for staff so they walk through the apartment. If it was flr the cook they could have had a door from the kitchen to the adjacent bedroom.
Great tour as always. This apartment will appeal to some for sure but it's not for me. This part of the Thames is quite boring so the view is not so special. The décor is quite heavy and oriental for my taste. My family & friends love to gather around in the kitchen and we love to entertain but the galley style kitchen in this property is quite ridiculous, especially considering the asking price. It's a shame because this is a large property. The overall layout is a big missed opportunity.
Its very nice but not 8.3 Million Pounds nice!. The floor plan is not well designed. The Kitchen is extremely small, with zero natural light. The views are amazing and its the highlight. I think this apartment is good for investment rather than living.
Bed 4 needs to be turned into a walk in robe for an apartment at that price range. Anyone wealthy enough to buy this place is going to look at the master robe and laugh. You could put a sauna in the bed 4 bathroom. Better still, just turn that whole side of the apartment into the master and make it a 3 bedder. The interior needs gutting, it is God awful for that much cash.
I wish that you wouldn't say "very" unique. Something is either unique or not unique. There are no degrees of "uniqueness". You could say very unusual.
What a tacky decor. And a very poorly designed apartment for £8 million. That kitchen is disgustingly small. You could have sacrificed a bedroom, had 4 bedrooms and the 5th a big kitchen/ family breakfast area. Yup very badly designed. The kitchen is like an afterthought.
I will never understand why London has the ugliest views. Like that is an awful view and makes London look hideous. That alone would make the price not worth it.

Hahaha the furnishings in this apartment is prime example that money doesn’t buy taste. Not the corridor for a kitchen for £8M 😂😂
Lol. This kinda comments are becoming boring now. It's London and the furnishing is tasteful. You account afford it.. Let it rest 😂
@@ndonvictor4512 Not very good English.
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 obvious typo.. Anyone with half a brain would know I speak English fluently and that that was a mistake

Interesting. Being in the building trade I would be interested in what the sound insulation is like between apartments.
All I’m seeing is dirty water and low ceilings… $8mil?! No thanks

That kitchen though

They never do. It's an extremely common request never acted upon.
It will never be freehold,.
Spot on 😂need to give lease and service charge

🤓 Thank You So Much 👍 LOVE 💝 LONDON 🇬🇧
Nice tour....well explained..

I enjoyed watching the Video. A very nice Luxury Apartment with great views 😊

Beautiful apartment 😍😍🔥

Really nice, but, if sea levels rise, that's underwater. I'm thinking more Highgate, over 400' up.
The views are the best

It isn’t worth 8 million
Roman abramovich probably only stayed there a few Times he owns a lot of properties around the world
Abramovich has an empty a penthouse has he isn’t allowed in Britain
@@jonathanpaulhooley4159 his yachts are a lot better then then his apartment which he can use, he has got a property outside the U.K. which he can use 🤪

Get over it. Are all Germans ex-Nazis? All Argentinians member of the former Junta?
Nice apartment... Tacky decor... very very overpriced
Lovely, let me be a neighbour to an Oligarch
Why is the water brown
Silt from the river bed.
8 million too much

"it even has a wine cooler" 😂
Nice
Not liking the separate kitchen needs to be open plan
nice
Do more in Manchester plz
Essex

Beautiful apartment, fantastic views over the Thames river. Nice location too. Obviously all reflected in the price.
If Abramovich did own the penthouse next door I’m sure he was forced to sell along with cfc due to the sanctions.
Given the sanctions against Roman Abramovich, it's highly unlikely his in the penthouse 😂😂😂
everythings perfect i love the way you guys present these beautiful homes only criticism get ourselves some house footwear😉
Dead kitchen
I didn’t think it was possible to hate everything about a condo, but here we are.
Beautiful property. Just an observation.....but Matt has a strong Mr. Bean vibe in the extreme close up. Maybe it's just me?????
Very poor kitchen. A small galley kitchen is out of place in this massive apartment.
Undoubtedly owned by wealthy arab
Well Roman isn't there anymore is he?
For £8m surely that's only the chefs kitchen!? Where's the main family kitchen?
creepy kitchen. i assume it comes with furnishings as so much fawning is given to the decor?
Roof bht chota ha almost 12 foot tu hna chahye
I’d love to see a home with a home library!!
very nice view and amazing design, but also the cost is impressive. In northern Cyprus, you can buy several villas for this money
How tall are you? That ceiling is so low…
He mentioned he's 6'4 in another video
2.4 meter ceiling probably
Beats working for a living .

Why on God's earth would you think mentioning Abramovich would be a good or positive thing in the times we are in right now? 🤦♂
it's a shame Kensington and Chelsea is the most dangerous borough in London, such nice houses and apartments
paying £8m to see council estates opposite you that pay nothing for the same view...
If I pay £8million for a flat, I don't want anybody living above me or on the same floor.
No thanks
Its very nice but not 8.3 Million Pounds nice!. The floor plan is not well designed. The Kitchen is extremely small, with zero natural light. The views are amazing and its the highlight. I think this apartment is good for investment rather than living.
Everything goes well till the kitchen shows it's face...
Looks like a bland hotel suite. Not worth the money asked.
not worth 8mill tho.
8mil for this? lol somebody just has too much many and little style

no its not!
It’s too arabic

Overpriced.
Living in the same building as a Russian Oligarch? no thanks
I'll just buy the balcony
