What £6,000 per month gets you in Canary Wharf, London (luxury apartment tour) 

This flat is an amazing asset. For the owner who rents it out, not the sucker who pays 6k per month.

"and you get to look over canary wharf" as if it's some sacred holy site lol

love how he says "its nice that everyone is renting here" like £6k a month means we're all in it together!

I live in London and can firmly confirm canary wharf is a soulless work location. You'd only want to live there to be next to your office and that's no way to live.

Alternatively, £6000pcm would be the monthly mortgage on some absolute palace in Surrey. You would have a huge garden, gates, private road, much quieter and safer area, and you're still 30-45 minutes from Zone 1 if you really need to be there. I grew up in Edinburgh and even there you can rent a 7 bedroom Edwardian villa house (borderline mansion) for £55k a year. There was one of those near where I grew up. This is £72k for a flat.

As someone that's lived in different parts of London over the last 4 years I've learned it's very easy pay a crazy price for very little when there's a much better value area just down the road... £6k a month for this is insane

wow, 6K per month! The last 2 years I lived in London I paid a little over 2K per month and I had a huge loft apartment, high ceilings and wooden beams with views over Highgate Forest. While this flat is decent, 6K per month can get you soooo much more in London if you do your research.

Opinion of an actual estate agent - Honestly this flat is very average. You'd have to be soft in the head to pay 6k a month on rent for any place, never mind an underwhelming apartment.

Whoever owns the building is laughing all the way to the bank.

Imagine paying 6k a month for something you'll never own haha

I'd rather stay in a 100 quid a night hotel and get food every day in my room.

Whist this apartment is on the pricey side (considering it looks fairly basic), everyone is assuming that it will be rented out by one individual. It’s very possible 3 separate people will split the bill for 2k each. Yes - you could probably afford a mansion in the middle of nowhere, but you’re forgetting that significant value is added for CW workers living as close to the office as possible when having to work 90 hour weeks.

The rent is unbelievable. I live in a 4 bed detached, double drive, garage, en-suite, private garden. £600 a month mortgage until next summer then it’s fully owned by me. And I won’t be living in the capital which is a shithole. Happy days.😁

I visited a one bedroom and a studio apartment as I wanted to rent my first place there but upon inspection,I realised it's impossible to get fresh air because the entire glass of the whole building is sealed and that includes the gym indoor.Spectacular views and I was sold the moment I walked into the apartment until I found out you cannot open any of the windows or glass doors to let in fresh air.Possible to open the glass window but opening it leads to another glass which is completely shut.Mind you this wasn't what it looked like with all the cushions and lambs,etc this one is just their showroom for ads.

Great tour , Matt & Summer. Fantastic views of London. Happy autumn.

with £6000 a month i would stay in a hotel, have my room cleaned every day and still have half of that money left to spend...outrageous prices

Used to work at this skyscraper for almost 2 years, mainly installing front entrance door glass panels with lighting in the corridors, installing white cupboard doors, ironmongery etc. During the windy days, you will get a lot of creaking noises in some of the higher floor apartments, due to skyscraper swaying in the wind, which might drive you crazy. And there is absolutely no parking space near or underneath this skyscraper, there are only bicycle racks in the basement.

Growing up in South West London this is not surprising as I have seen prices in and around London grow rapidly. Now living outside of London and knowing how much you can get for your money….damn with this sort of money 💰 you could live like a king 👑.

I love this video thanks Matt&Summer

I lived in Canary Wharf for 3 months since april until june this year, for work. We paid 2.100 pounds per month, for a 2 bedroons, 2 baths, good balcony, nice and modern also, very close to this build, but without a riverview. 6.000 I think is too much!

I have no idea how many people would be able to afford that renting price. 6K was basically the deposit I gave to buy my 3 bedrooms house here in Belfast... At the end The flat seems superb with an amazing view but it is for a very selective group of people! Best luck, youd did a great video!

Only 310k people in the UK earn over £160k per year before tax, the top 1%, roughly £95k after-tax if they pay their fair share!. This apartment rental is £72k per year, which is 76% of your income. Who exactly can afford this madness for such a small space?

£6k and £3k bloody insane, the landlord is coining it in with 600 apartments lol 😂

I passed by last month was impressed by the sheer amounts of new skyscrapers being built around Cw isle of dogs

A lot to like here but I do think that price is a bit steep, speaking as somebody living 2 stops away and can see CW from my flat. £4K would feel better for me, and that's after I've accounted for the view. I do really enjoy the social / shared parts of the flats though, a lot of nice touches here.

It's a great place but as many people are now working from home you don't necessarily need to be here . You can live way out of London , keep your career , save a fortune and have a simpler life . That being said , the views are spectacular .

I'm wondering what type of a person is going to rent this flat for 6k a month can you imagine blowing 6k on rent when you could move to a better location and buy a decent side home great video guys

‘Investing’ in property is an investment in the continued poverty of your fellow citizens. Affordable housing is a basic need, that underpins a civil society. Imagine having a portfolio of surplus food, that you drip fed to people, at ever increasing prices they struggled to afford? I sold all my investment property 15 years ago, when i realised i was partly the cause of poverty, not only in my own country, but also the places where i had bought foreign property. I’m all for people making money, but ‘investing’ in property is just gross and cynical. Keep your money in other marketplaces, but don’t become a member of the ‘rentier’ class. Interestingly, following the French Revolution, it wasn’t the monarchy that went to the guillotine first, but the greedy landlords, living off the working poor.

this is a very good apartment, thank you Matt & Summer

Mrs Gloria Blanche Laurano made me my first million in Crypto.

Nice video. Well done 👍 Ridiculous price. 2nd floor was the best bit . If your going to pay that sort of money , you might as well move to Chelsea or south Kensington. Plus not even a swimming pool 🤓😱

this video is made at the right time

£6K a month plus bills is no doubt aimed at short term corporate lets, it's not the kind of place I'd like to rent long term I'd be paranoid about messing it up and losing the deposit!

Those bitcoin comment and the fake Matt and Summer account in the comment section🤦🏻‍♀️ I really hope no one falls for that

Imagine having your power coffee in the mornings with that view! You're definitely gonna conquer the day.

you guys are great! would love to see you do a video for the quad level penthouse at dollar Bay point

£72,000 a year not including council tax, energy bills and other costs. Hard to imagine an individual shelling out that amount from their own pocket on a rented property. My guess is that high earning senior management and execs who travel a lot for work will have their living costs paid for them by their companies will be likely tenants. Surely nobody would pay that otherwise.

I have a 2 bedroom corner apartment on reserve on Floor 55 - 5509 - with breathtaking views to the west from all windows ... truly excited and most anxious to return to London as soon as possible!! Thank you for sharing this inside look!

0:36 my inner child spat my drink out ffs hahahaha

VERY GOOD FOOTAGE AND TOUR NICE STUFF.

Just feels a bit sad and soulless. Like living in a hotel like Alan Partridge

£6,000 - no way, it will go for more like £4,500…. Canary Wharf is full of unoccupied flats… many of which have been built in the last year.

Good presentation by both of you. Really good presentation.

I’d love to see the nighttime tour of this apartment. I know it’s going to be lit🤩😃😃✨

Spent a few nights at the Marriott near West India Quay some years ago. Loved the area

I work in Canary Wharf but think I’ll take my functional flat and hour long commute rather than 6k for that thing!

More such videos of central London please!

COOL!!! you can see the opium dens from that view!

Really nice apartments, love the views. £6k a month seems a bit much for a 3 bedroom. I looked at the 1 bed and its £2300 a month - not even sure if council tax is included but seems way overpriced imo

Most annoying thing about apartments is service charge

loved it, subbed

“Notice that sound of cheap chipboard underneath laminate veneer as I open and close cupboards and drawers, reminiscent of that IKEA furniture you had to endure when you were poor”

Matt was more excited about the gym than the apartment.

Amazing apartments love the floor to ceiling windows and decor, one of my favourite apartments you've shown xx

brilliant and legit contents , well done

Overpriced, however upmarket rentals are in most cities are these days, and you do get more for your money here (even with an exchange rate) than some of the more expensive apts. in Toronto. I personally am shocked that neither bathroom in the 2nd unit has a tub which would be an immediate dealbreaker for me but to each their own. Very enjoyable tours ... thanks.

For £6k a month, i thought it would be better than that

if you afford something like this, just...buy it. at the end you actually have something of value that you own and in any case you can sell it for the money you've paid. rent is a solution for some scenarios, but going all aboard with monthly rents is just stupid, throwing money away.

@1:55 I loved how you said the water area and then the green area. I would have said the blue area and the green area!!! quite funny.

It’s so beautiful

It's not uncommon for some of the top investment banks and hedge funds to shell out for their top executives with apartments like these, it's not always payed for by the tenant themselves. Mortgages are not 'always' the more affordable option - that's 2015 thinking; the latest data for London in 2021 finds that in many cases mortgage payments can be higher than flat-out renting.

Perhaps this question has been addressed previously but are the clothes washing machines combo washing and drying machines or just washing? And if not, how do you dry the clothing. Here in Canada, we have both side by side.

You can get 2 bedroom apartment for 2k under in dockland for similar view different location, and it’s just couple of stop using dlr

That’s not bad! I thought for £6K a month in London would only get you a shed!!

I'm kind of surprised by the finishings though, The views and location are incredible, but I feel they should have used to opportunity to really make it feel luxurious. It comes across a bit spartan and actually does seem like a rental, and I feel that for the price tag it really shouldn't. I mean minimal can still be high end and luxurious, but here the finishings just make it come across a bit midrange despite million-dollar views and location.

The way you guys explain is really loving and soothing. Keep going

Hi Matt, I've recently come into some money and I am very much interested in the £6k per month residence. Does this property come with a children's play area similar to the 2nd property? It looks very kid friendly and my 3 year old is very excited to play on the small metal objects. Your video has inspired me to sell my GME and move in ASAP. Please can you send me a message so we can discuss further? Thanks x

Thanks for this love from Indian village guy....

Beautiful apartment guys, love how light and airy it is, and yes I would be happy working at that desk looking at that view. I personally prefer the first apartment, My complete style of interior very modern and minimal 👍, amazing amenities , 😃

6k is an absolute joke, you can get duplex penthouses in canary wharf for that

I’m considering this!

Nice tour both of you. The views are stunning and the design of the flats well thought 👍🏻

That’s a really nice place, you should move there. 👍

Who is paying 72k a year for a flat in a city where everything is commutable? 😅London has become so daft honestly....

Love the apartments!! Simple and beautiful. I like the common area too especially the gym and the terrace area outside.

What a cool channel for an estate agent, sans commission...

Love the videos - I do think rent prices in general are disgusting.. especially with the level of homelessness in central

For anyone wondering who can afford this? It's a financial sector and banks may rent it out for their important staff. I did security in St James's and 1 bedroom flats were up to 15k a month. The concierge for this area told me the finish in this building is like Dubai where it's all so special.

The 6k one is pricey but the second one is decent especially when you consider the amenities

only 6k a month?? what a bargain!! I wonder if the council tax is included or on top of it. the flat looks like a great deal.. do you know if it's probably rented out already?

The people talking about how it’s stupid renting here as you could get a massive house for the same price 40 minutes further out don’t get the target market: this flat is for the people who ALREADY have that Surrey house. It’s for people who work in big collar jobs in Canary Wharf, to rent for those evenings where they can’t be bothered to drive home, or need to work late, and who don’t appreciate the inconvenience of having to book and pack for hotels. And as the flat is big, they can also host the wife and kids here some weekends so they can more easily have fun in the city. They probably also have a countryside retreat, maybe a 300 year old cottage in the Cotswolds, that they spend every other weekend in.

I mean this in a genuinely constructive way - the tours seem to lack energy. It’s very factual and perhaps feels like watching people doing their jobs rather than them inspiring us and entertaining us. The access you have to these properties is incredible - I genuinely think with some coaching you can dominate the UK property tour scene. Hint - look at Enes Yilmazer’s tours. Professional yet personable.

£200/night hotel room basically, except you also have to pay for food, energy, house keeping and council tax. Have to have more money than sense to rent one of these places.

Lovely flat. Nothing incredible but definitely cosy

Summer, i have to correct you on one item, there are 636 apartments within Newfoundland. I'm the Senior Project Manager for Briggs & Forrester Living who carried out All of the M& E installations for the complete project. Im pleased you like the apartments & amenity areas. You also forgot about the Kids play space on the 1st floor of the Annex.

6k a month ? London takes the piss its not even worth it…. It’s giving hotel. The Colours are bland, not enough space, no balcony ??? Strong NO for me

I really appreciate you not wearing shoes :)

stupid question but how do they do the sofas outside if it rains? the sofas will be wet and damp

The views in the second bedroom are great but at £6,000pm, I think that puts most people out of the running/marketing window not to mention the fact that most people could buy and get a mortgage for that amount in most areas.

Wow that’s really nice place but what about the parking?

I cannot imagine how it will look at the night.

@TheLuxuryHomeShow FIrst time viewer, great apartment. I recommend you show the floor-plan for a little more time than half a second... also mention the amount of floorspace rather than 3 bedrooms which means nothing rather than how big the living space is.

The apartments are stunning but way to high up for me!

Wish I could afford somewhere like this it’s beautiful.

"What's really cool is that as you go up the view is very similar so it's cool"

Ohhh this girl loves storage and he loves the views.

I don't know how they can call it a 3 x bedroom apartment when the 3rd bedroom has no access to a bathroom other than using the ones in the other bedrooms which if people were using them isn't ideal. It's a 2 x bedroom plus study/snug at best.

Those views are insanely good

"what's pretty cool is the view is very similar as you go up, so it's cool"

Love it God bless
