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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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 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!

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.

‘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.

I love this video thanks Matt&Summer

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 .

£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 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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

More such videos of central London please!

£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!

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

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!

this video is made at the right time

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

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

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

Good presentation by both of you. Really good presentation.

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

Matt was more excited about the gym than the apartment.

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

VERY GOOD FOOTAGE AND TOUR NICE STUFF.

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 🤓😱

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

Most annoying thing about apartments is service charge

brilliant and legit contents , well done

“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”

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.

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.

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

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

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.

£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.

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.

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

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

Those views are insanely good

@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.

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

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

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

loved it, subbed

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?

What made you feel the whole building all for rental was a good thing ?

I don't think I could think of anything more depressing than living in Canary Wharf in London in a sterile box flat like this.

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

I’m considering this!

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

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

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

It’s so beautiful

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.

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

Now that many are Working from Home is there any need for an apartment like this in Canary Wharf?

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

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.

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

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

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

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 , 😃

I cannot imagine how it will look at the night.

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

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

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.

Nice crib. Does that £6k pcm include all service charges and access to communal areas and gym?

Ohhh this girl loves storage and he loves the views.

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.

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.

Great place for the washer/dryer, right next to the electrical fuses. 🤔

why not choose wardian、sqp or landmark pinnacle？

Did Matt really say, "What's pretty cool as well, the view is very similar as you go up."? What did he expect to happen.

We should be careful on money usage,if you are not spending to earn back,then stop spending.

£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.

what would these flats cost with the extra bills? like electricity etc..
