Luxury Properties by the Sea and in the City
Words such as “outrageous” and “mad” don’t define the latest reports in the London real-estate sector. As it turns out, some extremely-rich (not sure this term is even appropriate enough) unknown buyer just treated himself to a £140m pent-house inside the heart of the British capital; London. You’ve got that right: the ridiculous price is not for a giant medieval fortress to modernise or a unique high end resort, but rather for a two-floor flat located at One Hyde Park, a location that just the incredibly loaded and famous can easily afford. Heck, it has even turned out to be even more expensive than Chelsea! And suddenly, futuristic skyscrapers, extravagant mansions and luxury Caribbean villas sound like a bargain.
But seriously, what would you do in a 140 m apartment? Unless, of course, it comes with golden floors and diamond lamps in every room, how could it be worth the price? Sure it has its own comforting “panic room”, which we guess is a place where safely hide in shame and try to calm down after realising what a colossal mistake it was to buy such a flat.
Hopefully the viewpoint over the bustling capital will be a stunning one from up there, and the new proud owner could take a good look at the various other, and not to forget much cheaper homes he or she could have gone for instead. Surely this requires clear vision, one in which the aforementioned multi billionaire mysterious person most probably does not possess.
It really isn’t envy on our part, just a small thing called ‘common sense’.
There are actually numerous, much better places where it is possible to make such investments, although these would make a lot more sense. For instance, Turks and Caicos, a British Overseas Territories, is without a doubt one of the most lively and flourishing archipelagos in the West Indies, also known as the Caribbean. Hundreds of companies, in fact, are registered there.
Tourism, of course, is the main source of business for the islands, which have become a very fancy destination for holiday makers from all around the world, particularly Canada and the United States.
All in all, it is certainly a good mix of nature and not too invasive with human presence. Turks and Caicos is mostly a place where recent wealthy retirees decide to settle, although that does not make it a boring place: just a little piece of paradise where to find comfort, relax and beauty in all of its incarnations.
