Humax TV Tonight: Britain’s Most Expensive Houses
Britain’s Most Expensive Houses is on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.
The series with exclusive access to some of the UK's most extraordinary properties, following the brokers at UK Sotheby's International Realty. The super prime property market is booming and competition to court ultra-high-net-worth individuals with money to spend is fierce. The brokers have to work harder than ever to attract their hugely wealthy, highly demanding clients and close those multi-million-pound deals. In this episode, broker Constance is on a mission to get the listing for celebrity singer Laura Comforts' £12.5m home.
Laura wants to downsize to a £4m pad in Chelsea - can Constance manage expectations and deliver the goods? Managing director Guy values a quaint Tudor cottage in Henley-on-Thames - a little corner of paradise that owner Brian is selling for the not insignificant sum of £1.75 million. It boasts a swimming pool and a fabulous shower in a phone box! Can the countryside team find a buyer to appreciate the unique features of this house? In central London, broker Diana takes on a high-end rental. Part of a former rectory built in 1888, this stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom house stretches across three floors. It boasts two elegant reception rooms and plenty of outside space... and there's even housekeeping and fresh linen included! But at £10,500 a week can she convince the CEO of a luxury concierge service to recommend it to his celebrity clients? ,
And Constance meets up with Princess Diana's bridesmaid SJ, who has converted her lower ground Knightsbridge flat into two separate apartments to the tune of £120,000. Situated in a beautiful period building with access to the prestigious Cadogan Square Gardens, it has a steam room and multiple luxury bathrooms, not to mention another 1000-square-foot apartment through a secret door, with two double ensuite bedrooms and a huge living area. But will Constance hit the right numbers for SJ in her new valuation?
