Neglected Grade II Mayfair mansion is offered to brave buyers

The £50MILLION fixer-upper: Neglected Grade II Mayfair mansion is offered to brave buyers (but you'll need another £20m for repairs)

Britain’s most expensive fixer-upper has been put on the market for £50million - and will need another £20million spent restoring it. The Grade II-listed mansion has spent years in decline and is now a wreck, requiring a full refurbishment. But the terraced property sits in the middle of Central London's Mayfair, one of the most desirable locations in the world, and is expected to attract keen interest from billionaires. It could be transformed into one of the UK's finest city homes worth £100million after renovation.

who as a kid thought that the rich, by definition, ALL own hotels on Mayfair.

She had obviously got some of her economic ideas from playing Monopoly!

Anyway, it will be interested to find out if anyone feels they can afford this new house and its repairs...
