WERE I to live in such a flat I wouldn't know WHERE to hide my face - for shame.

Gerin: Right on - but of course!

A clear indication that the market in London is bucking the trend....

Tom, South,

Of course no money laundering is involved in those transactions.

Those deals comply with the highest standards of transparency as the article abundantly shows.

Money invested in high-end real-estate only come from the most legimates of sources.

Gérin, saint-etienne, france

just to get so many people wonder, think, love, hate me as you guys do, would I get the luxury of buying a £120m property if I could afford. that guy must be delighted to get so much attention

Adversely rich and poor people become more extravigant at times and loose money and common sense. Any how & importantly, It follows that the richer the rich the richer our tradesmen become, given that they are good at what they do.
Finally, Lets not forget that ones riches are never soley earnt.

T.M.M, T.Wells, England

Personally I think, why not...these people have obviously worked hard to earn this sort of cash and not from a non-productive enterprise-obviously it is a dream come true for them, and so let them be, different things make different people tick - it has nothing 2 do with common sense..

Dee, london, uk

If I had that kind of money I certainly wouldn't be spending it on a flat in London no matter the location. I'd definately find a nice spread abroad with views to die for. I wouldn't be paying £120m for it either. More money than sense applies here.

Gen, London, UK

Money is perspective. Leslie Corrin, you say people buying expensive flats suffer from lack of common sense - people who are that rich generally have rather a lot of common sense; that's how ....they become rich.

Glad to see the london property market is moving ahead even in these uncertain times.

kirk, london, england

Haha someone was ripped off. Why pay that? People should refuse to pay such money. Only by paying such prices do the prices stay high.

Peter, South Coast,

Well, everyone has to get about somehow - whether your'e rich or poor. Even the rich have to walk in order to move from one point to another by using their legs! So it doesn't matter what method they choose - nobody escapes from having to move their limbs, and excert energy.

Joe, Exeter,

Are they on crack ?

Global Inflation isnt becoming a problem is it....

Mark Smith, London, UK

Why not? If someone could pay £120m for my flat why in God's name would he/she want to cycle? I smell jealousy

Nathan Lee, Oxford, UK

"And cycle racks, to comply with regulations" eh? Sad reflection on our times. Or are these people *really* too (self-) important to actually cycle?

James Styring, Oxford, UK

What this doesn't say is that the building used to be the headquarters of Universal Music International.

There were conspiracy theories that part of it was previously a CIA office and that it was from there that female PC (Yvonne Fletcher) was shot, not the Libyan embassy a couple of doors down.

Either way, we never managed to get mobile reception on the top floor of the building...

chris tant, London,

It sounds nice. Would I get a 100% mortgage for that???

Ingo Kaufmann, Vilamoura, Portugal

The amount of money exchanging hands for 'flats' in London beggars belief, I can only assume that whilst the people purchasing these property's, obviously do not suffer from a shortage of cash, they do suffer from a severe lack of common-sense, or to put it another way, a fool and his money are soon parted.

Leslie Corrin, Southport, England

insane! One hundred and twenty million! you can buy Equador for that.

JJ Peterson, Inside the m25, UK

One hundred and twenty million pounds? ridiculous, for sure its somebody that has created 'money' from a non productive enterprise, for that kind of money why not lease the "Palace" from the Queen?
