I understand the concept of location, location, location but £6k a month rent for a 3 bed apartment/flat is insane

So many of these apartments have little to no extra storage - I've lived in some and it becomes very difficult to live if you have hobbies or equipment of any kind. So you've go to live very light or have storage somewhere (which I had to do). If you're single or a young couple, these are great, the 2nd bedroom can be the storage/office, but the gyms and lounges are great.

Great presenting as always. The departments were so small though..and of course very expensive. Also, spot on Matt, it's like a college campus.

I used to work at the power station in the 50's, its a shame they shut it down because a lot of good friends lost their jobs but its strange to see it all fancied up nowadays

[andrewchurcher]

Over a thousand per week a joke. No wonder they are empty. No privacy, small and like going back to University. Nasty

I refuse to buy any property that directly overlooks other properties- it's an immediate deal breaker. Tenants hate that sort of view; you end up having to compromise on the rent.

[BBThemes]

the lack of parking, especially given the travel you do with the vlogs, i`d see that as a major downside, especially for the price!

[marcl]

the places abroad seemed to have a lot more to offer for the money. Or maybe its the adventure and vlogs that swayed me...

Matt - your spot on in an area like battseea you will get plenty of space in the older builds. It's a great area that I grew up in with so much to do on your door step. I would advise to explore the area more including queen's Town Road which is basically down the road from where you guys where and the other surrounding parts

I live in an Edwardian conversion in London and I love the character elements of it. High ceilings and big rooms but no lift (lots of stairs which I guess is good for me!) and no gym facilities of course! Hard to have it all in London unless you are mega rich

Great apartment tours and cool to see you in the Model 3 Tesla again. Also LOVED that Porsche Taycan Matt walked past. Having said that are you missing the sun, sand and surf of the Gold Coast yet? Can't beat those Goldie beach front sunrises too! 😉

[sophiamatheou]

We was there few weeks ago love the new shops and the area. My son especially love the park that was very nice and clean. We will def go back again.

I don't understand why kitchen have no door to the living room ? I have lived in such setup. There is always smell from kitchen when I am cooking something and also lighting is the same. When I am working, I want different lighting in the work area and different mode in kitchen. I am not a potential customer, just wonder why people fancy that kind of design.

[sebastianforkuoh]

Great to see you both back in the UK 🙌🏿

[fannycraddock]

Not my cup of tea as far as buildings go. As Matt said looks like a uni campus and is quite bleak. Some of the rooms were on the small side. Views were mainly good with lots of light. Prices compared to NYC were surprisingly good for new builds.

What a kind and caring Traffic warden to ensure the ticket matched the yellow of the Ferrari badge 🙂

[beezig]

I must get up to Battersea, I remember it from way back and from what I have seen on the regeneration so far, looks like a really cool part of London, good to see you back in the UK.

[raychul]

Enjoying the more regular uploads guys

[feelgoodvibes]

I am moving to this area from Canary Wharf. It’s sad that most of these new buildings look the same: sterile, sometimes not very functional and storage and living space is very limited for the asking price despite the advertised amplitude . These prices are just inflated and then they say: “location, location”. please, with that money just buy a house and renovate it 😎

WHEN R U GUYS GOING BACK TO THOSE VLOGS WERE SO GOOD I BINGED WATCHED THEM ALL
