A swanky penthouse overlooking the capital is literally raising the roof of the property market by commanding sky high rentals.
Located in Park Lane, the five-bedroom, fully furnished apartment with ‘oversized’ marble en-suites could be yours for an eye-watering £281,667 a month, or just under £3.4million a year – making it the most expensive flat in Britain.
By comparison, the average cost of house in Britain is £254,624, according to the UK House Price Index.
Sky high prices: This penthouse at Grosvenor House Suites commands £281,667 monthly rent – or just under £3.4m a year
Very fine dining: Inside the stunning apartment, thought to be Britain’s most expensive rental at nearly £70,000 a week
Sweet dreams: The swanky apartment boasts five luxurious bedrooms, all with their own en-suite marble bathrooms
For almost the same as the tenant would pay in rent for their Park Lane address, they could buy a three-bed detached bungalow, listed as sold subject to contract in Poole, Dorset for £282,700, or a three-bed terraced house in Croydon, Surrey, currently priced at £281,000 on Zoopla.
The former boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite in the master bedroom. The modest property has also been extended and has gardens at the front and a west-facing plot rear, as well as a garage.

In Croydon, the three-bed mid-terrace house currently for sale is available to over 60’s under Homewise’s lifetime lease plan and boasts an open-plan living arrangement, luxury kitchen and enclosed rear garden in a terraced patio area.
It’s a far cry from the stunning penthouse at Grosvenor House Suites, which overlooks Hyde Park and measures 4,822 Sq Ft (448 Sq Metres).
