As of tomorrow, I will officially be homeless. It sounds worse than it is, but true none-the-less. My riverside, 1100 sq ft, quasi-penthouse flat was sold from underneath me when I rejected the $2.4m price tag. I thought $1600/wk in rent was ludicrous, but $2.4m is even worse. It's going to cost the new owners over $2800/wk in interest/fees to live here. London real estate is CRAZY!
The last 2 months, I've seen well over 40 flats to rent, but nothing has piqued my interest. The best place I've seen is a 3-bed, 1700 sq ft unit over looking the river and Parliament for $2400/wk, but I balked today, last-minute, and can't bring myself to do it. It's a combination of sticker shock and a lack of excitement that are keeping me from doing it.
The movers are packing my stuff up today and taking it to storage, and my lease ends on Friday. I leave for L.A. on Saturday for 3 weeks and then I'll be at the WSOP for 1-2 weeks (hopefully playing most of the time!). So, I have about 5 weeks before I return to London to arrange a place upon my return. Interesting times.....
