The London property market is split between those struggling to save a £50,000 deposit for their first home and those spending more than this on their weekly rent.
Now, a property in one of central London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods has set a new record high rent price, according to Knightsbridge-based letting, management and advisory service, Tunstall Property and property data analysts, LonRes.
The house, on Brick Street in Mayfair, is being rented for over £216,000 per month, surpassing the record set last year by One Hyde Park, a luxury apartment block in Knightsbridge.
Mayfair is famous for being a property hotspot for the super-rich. With its Michelin star restaurants and designer boutiques, mansion owners are in their element.
Managing Director of Tunstall Property, Mark Tunstall, says: “Prime central London has a lot to offer and each neighbourhood has a distinct appeal to certain ultra-prime tenant groups.
“The ‘Golden Triangle’, formed by the neighbourhoods of Mayfair, Belgravia and Knightsbridge, commands the highest rents.”1
