事實上，香港富豪押注英國已成主旋律，去年其他香港富豪也早已密密掃貨，合共至少購下200億元等值物業，例如「大劉」劉鑾雄的華人置業（0127）也在積極拓展海外收入，尤其英國收租業務。
而麗展的倫敦收租生意也愈做愈大，集中投資Leadenhall Street，周福安早前向傳媒透露，會視乎租約於2023年到期及英國脱歐情況，才落實重建計劃。若落實重建，總樓面面積會由目前的30多萬平方呎，增至130萬平方呎，估計現價建築費約4.5億英鎊。
倫敦物業租金回報率較穩定，也是香港人考量投資的重要因素，倫敦住宅租金回報約為3.5%至4.5%，商舖租金回報約4%，金融城寫字樓租金回報約4%，新金融城寫字樓租金收益回報則約5%。相比香港，現時住宅租金回報約1%至1.5%，旺區商舖回報為1%至2%，寫字樓租金回報已跌穿2%。
至於今次收購的「聖安德魯斯費爾蒙酒店（Fairmont St Andrews）」，根據麗新的新聞稿，聖安德魯斯費爾蒙酒店乃佔地520畝之五星級酒店，位於「高爾夫誕生地」，擁有The Kittocks及The Torrance兩座錦標賽高爾夫球場， 周邊環境豪華、優雅，非常合乎岳少識玩識食的品味，又有10間水療房、5間餐館及酒吧、 3000平方米之會議室及賽事場地，以及兩個私人莊園（各擁有4間臥房）外，招呼政商朋友一流。
但諷刺的是，在麗展年薪超過3000萬的林建岳，出名公職多多，其擔任主席的貿發局在9月才主辦「邁向亞洲，首選香港」峰會，自己在3個月後就悄悄用腳投票，加大歐洲投資，似乎就令到大家很尷尬了。

Najib Razak’s house
PETALING JAYA (May 25): Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s house could possibly be worth at least RM12 million, according to estimates made by real estate experts familiar with the area and based on recent transactions of bungalows in the area.
The house has been in the spotlight lately following police searches on the property as part of its 1MDB investigations.
Ever wondered how big the house is since it took four days for 60 officers to search the property?
As information on the house could not be obtained, such as the land area, built-up as well as land status, the REAL value of the house remains unknown, for now.
However, an online property listing dated March 14 this year showed that a partially furnished two-storey bungalow located at Jalan Langgak Duta with a land area of 37,000 sq ft asked for RM17.5 million.
Fernstate Realty principal Shawn Fernandez noted that transaction prices for freehold landed residential property in Taman Duta and its immediate neighbour Kenny Hills tend to follow the values of similar homes in Bukit Damansara very closely.
“Therefore, a minimum range of RM400 to RM550 psf would be reasonable for freehold land. Of course, if there is a dwelling structure on the property, then one would have to place a value on the structure,” he said.
He said the exclusive location and proximity to KL city centre are the area’s main draw but the steep prices and leasehold status could deter buyers.
Savills Malaysia managing director Datuk Sr Paul Khong said it is hard to estimate the actual value for the house unless valuers are given opportunity to go in the house to carry out the valuation process.
“Taman Duta is on hilly terrain, although the land area may look big but the actual built-up for the houses could be varied due to the terrain,” he explained.
According to him, built-up sizes of bungalows along Jalan Langgak Duta range from 7,000 sq ft to 52,000 sq ft, with some bungalows even having basements. Based on past transactions, the current price for bungalows in Taman Duta could be up to RM500 psf.
Both noted that most of the properties there are leasehold, some with just around 50 years of lease left.
“The land size of landed homes in Taman Duta are usually quite huge, making them expensive t0 purchase.

The most expensive property in HK
1.The Redhill Peninsula, Tai Tam Asking: $880m (2014) Shot of houses sprawled along Tai Tam coastline Introducing the most expensive house in Hong Kong – and it’s currently on the market. For the outrageous price, you can grab this 3,013sq ft Tai Tam townhouse, complete with its four bedrooms, a powder room, three bathrooms, a maid’s room, a garden, a fitted kitchen, a terrace and, of course, the quintessential car park.
2.10 Skyhigh, Pollock’s Path, The Peak Sold: $800m (2011) Money ain’t a thang, just look at my pinky ring – this is the most expensive residential property ever sold in Hong Kong. Located on Pollock’s Path, a road last year ranked as the most expensive street in the world, the 8,300sq ft house at 10 Skyhigh – a joint venture between film doyen Stephen Chow and Ryoden Development – sold in 2011 to an undisclosed owner for a whopping $800m.
3. 8, 28 Barker Rd, The Peak Sold: $740m (2013) Most pricy investments require the involvement of a bank. But not for Chinese lawyer Raymond Li, the owner of this Peak property, who paid $740 million, mostly in cold, hard cash (in suitcases, we wonder?). At three storeys and 6,863sq ft, it includes five bedrooms, two car parks and a rooftop pool with an outstanding view of Victoria Harbour. It has it in spades over the 6,847sq ft House 7, which wealthy philanthropist Qian Fenglei bought for $690m, with a 1,822sq ft garden to boot. Bargain.
4. 3 Gough Hill Rd, The Peak Sold: $650m (2013) In 2013, this 5,145sq ft villa became the third most expensive home in Hong Kong, after garment exporter Peter Law Kin-sang sold the property for $650 million in what some have called 2013’s most notable deal in the luxury residence market. The price translates to a ridiculous $126,336 per square foot!
5. 8 Pollock’s Path, The Peak Sold: $580m (2011) It’s no wonder European diplomats love The Peak – the temperate region must remind them of their digs back home. This patch of land used to belong to the former French Consulate and commands views over Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour. It’s a grade II historic building, measures 11,222sq ft and was sold at an average of $51,684 per square foot.
6. House 3, 28 Barker Rd, The Peak Sold: $538m (2013) Real estate agents know their property – particularly Vivien Chan, the chairwoman of the Estate Agents Authority, who owns this piece of prime real estate on Barker Road. This residence in the seven-storey building measures in at 5,706sq ft and sold for $538m just last year.
7. 11/F, Opus, Stubbs Rd, Mid-Levels Asking: $470m Hong Kong's Top 10 Expensive homes - Shot of Stubbs, Mid Levels This apartment in the famed Frank-Gehry-designed Opus hit headlines last year for the price it couldn’t attract: $470m. If it had sold at this price, it would have made the 5,409sq ft space the most expensive apartment in the city per square foot – a record currently held by, you guessed it, another apartment in Opus, which sold for $455m in 2012.
8. 66/F, 39 Conduit Rd, Mid-Levels Sold: $360m (2011) Hong Kong's Top 10 Expensive homes - View of Central from Conduit Rd, Mid-levels While Conduit Road might only be the second-highest road in Western Mid-Levels, this 66th floor apartment takes you way up into the clouds. In fact, it is the tallest building in the area with glorious views of Victoria Harbour. With 24 units up for sale, the 5,636sq ft Unit A sold the highest for $360.7m back in 2011.
9. Sky House, The Arch, West Kowloon Sold: $226m (2008) Hong Kong's Top 10 Expensive homes - The Arch, Kowloon Hey, it’s Kowloon’s most expensive property! This 5,497sq ft West Kowloon apartment includes the Moon Tower penthouse and the rooftop – essentially, a two-storey pad with a decent view of the moon too. Selling at a mere $41,125 per square foot, it also shows that Kowloon is where the value is at.
10. 51/F, Branksome Crest, Mid-Levels Sold: $203m (2010)
朱立基-認識妻子改變一生
四十多歲的朱立基是「香港仔」，在香港出生並於上環東邊街一帶長大。街坊憶述，其父朱鎮康於東邊街二號地舖開設「銘昌號」，賣鹹魚養活一家，仔女出身後，朱父未有退休，並一直居於七九年與妻子文繡梅買下的東邊街唐樓頂樓，至幾年前才離世。
銘昌號旁商舖，業主是港九罐頭洋酒伙食行商會副理事長李廣林，跟朱父做了幾十年「街坊」，李廣林曾幫過朱立基一把。「八十年代朱立基從德國留學回來，找我幫手推過一隻德國啤酒，入到辦館、餐廳，不過那時香港已有由德國來的盧雲堡，所以唔易做。」
及後朱被德國公司派往越南工作，機緣巧合下與當地華僑張美蘭結婚，李廣林回憶說，朱立基深懂人情世故，結婚時有邀請李到越南喝喜酒，後李廣林到過越南旅遊幾次，朱立基都有招待這位鄰居，難怪李廣林對世姪讚口不絕：「佢好叻仔、靈敏、機智又勤力，還很尊重長輩。」
越南開放事業起飛
八六年越南實施市場改革對外開放政策，夫婦兩人八七年創立萬盛發公司，起初從事貿易生意，及後公司成為韓國LG電子駐越南代表處，靠代理LG手機而在越南起家，由於當時非越南人不能享有法人地位，因此萬盛發一直由太太張美蘭出任集團主席。
一名越南華僑透露：「朱立基夫婦起初主要做貿易，後轉做餐廳、酒店，近十年才搞地產。」
集團九五年開設第一間酒店（西貢溫莎酒店），過去十多年先後開設多間高級餐廳，包括華人結婚飲宴首選的銀庭酒家，位處第一郡阮惠街（Nguyen Hue St）的扒房Amigo Grill餐廳，又開設Gartenstadt德國餐廳，位於市中心新華廣場的阮惠中央咖啡廳則於○二年開設。
打造新安東街市
朱立基在越南最經典的一役是將安東街市的改造。九七年金融風暴時，當時位於提岸的唐人街安東街市曾遭政府接管，憑藉張美蘭在政商界的密切聯繫，朱毅然接下這個「爛攤子」，當年萬盛發的投資約八十四萬美元（約六百五十五萬港元）。
經過兩、三年的建築工程，○四年重建成樓高二十五層，共四百零五間客房的溫莎酒店，酒店基座為會議中心及四層高的大型購物中心，成為新的安東廣場，「酒店入住率相當高，加上○六年已被評為五星級酒店，早兩年越南經濟急速起飛，在高峰期酒店房租曾經升至超越約八百港元一晚，目前的房租約五百五十港元一晚。」經營旅行社的越南華人表示。○六年溫莎更成為亞太經濟組織（APEC）商務部長會議的開會場地，令酒店聲名大噪。
數口精 投資穩
憑藉張美蘭的關係，萬盛發的業務迅速發展，朱立基的財富不斷累積起來，「他倆同越南的銀行關係又好好，銀行十分支持他，隨時可以借到好多錢。」曾跟朱立基交往的人士透露。
他形容朱是一個數口頗精的商人：「朱立基是一個精明的人，數口精，應大方時大方，應小家時又會懂得跟你計較，鍊價鍊到好盡。不過，朱立基並非太勇進之人，好少博到好盡。」
朱立基一早睇中香港這個自由市場，他早在本港大舉投資物業時，已想到將越南物業拿到香港上市，而其狂買物業，跟上市之路不無關係。「過去數年，朱立基港、越兩忙，在香港大舉掃貨的同時，在越南亦積極買地發展，保守估計萬盛發在越南土地儲備，市值超越一百億元。」一名認識朱立基的人士指出。
泡沫爆破 上市受挫
當時正藉越南經濟火熱上升，香港高官也出訪越南，交易所更曾積極計劃邀請越南企業到港上市。可是，正當朱立基雄心勃勃時，○八年一場百年難得一遇的金融海嘯爆發，朱立基的宏圖霸業受阻。當時越南股市急挫百分之七十，越南概念爆破，上市計劃只好暫緩下來。
不過朱立基並沒有氣餒，仍在密謀捲土重來，期間在越南積極吸納儲備，進一步壯大公司的物業版圖。與朱立基認識超越十年，有「越南通」之稱本地商人方世歷指出：「這幾年來朱立基在越南四出買地起樓，據悉正在動工的樓盤亦有三個，過去港商在越南買地，往往只能夠取得胡志明市周邊土地，朱憑太太張美蘭在當地政商界的關係，成功取得不少市中心的地皮，當中包括第一郡市中心阮惠坊（Nguyen Hue Avenue）及Dong Khoi商業地王Times Square項目，將發展成為全胡志明市最高的商廈，以現時朱立基的實力，再次來港上市亦大有可能。」
Times Square 市值三十五億
隨着越南通脹問題稍為放緩，整體經濟重拾升軌，朱立基上市夢再露曙光。資料顯示，目前朱立基持有的越南土地及資產，較現時本地越南概念龍頭股陸氏集團（0366）還要多。
本刊到越南走訪，發現朱立基在市中心所持有的物業，包括萬盛發位處第一郡陳興道街（Tran Hung Dao，胡志明市最繁忙街道）的總部，旗下五星級酒店溫莎大酒店（Windsor Plaza Hotel），位處於第三郡使館區服務式住宅Sherwood Residence，都屬於市中心靚地。新近亦取得第五郡的順橋廣場，計劃重新改造。
「朱立基的越南物業中，最值錢肯定是Times Square，樓高三十九層，超越現時全市最高的西貢貿易市心（物業樓高三十三層），勢必成為胡志明市的新地標。」一名當地人表示，項目現正處於地基工程，最快兩、三年後落成。按○七年世邦魏理仕（CBRE）估值，約為二十五點六億港元，今天保守估計最新市值達三十五億港元。
與此同時，朱立基亦積極於胡志明市南部的平政郡（Binh Chanh）「圈地」，過去已先後取得兩至三幅，其中一幅佔地面積廣達二十五點六公頃土地，相等於兩個維多利亞公園，他計劃打造成為越南豪宅社區美富興（第七郡）的翻版，發展成高級分層住宅和獨立洋房的豪宅社區，估計市值超越二十億元。有「越南通」之稱的方世歷透露，據悉近年朱立基積極拉攏香港發展商到越南投資，希望引入香港投資者，進一步擴大版圖。
位於中環國金二期的恒地辦公室內，氣氛異常緊張，多位集團高層神色凝重。一位面色黝黑，面上架着銀絲眼鏡的中年人在總部出現，原來他就是越南首富朱立基，亦即是天匯二十四個單位的幕後大買家，他親身到恒地，目的是為天匯成交進行磋商。
大劉分手聲明未提過送物業予呂麗君
【星島日報報道】呂麗君（現改名呂姵霖）近日與健身教練爆緋聞，令7年前獲舊愛劉鑾雄饋贈了20億港元禮物再成熱話。最近有報道指呂麗君當年在劉鑾雄所得的20億元禮物當中，包括有市值約4.8億元的山頂白加道31號A獨立屋連花園及私人泳池，並獲贈中半山雅賓利大廈單位連車位、畢架山峰、禮頓山及擎天半島等物業；劉鑾雄還送了3艘遊艇、及市值約4.2億元的英國6層高大宅。據了解，劉鑾雄在2016年11月15日發出的聲明中，其中提到分手前已送贈了呂麗君大量現金、禮物和首飾、總值逾20億元，但從沒提到送贈過任何物業及遊艇給呂麗君。
文：娛樂組
之前有報道指呂麗君現居於白加道31號A獨立屋，但據知這間屋其實是呂麗君仍與劉鑾雄在一起時，借給呂麗君的父母居住，分手後因遲遲未有搬遷，故呂麗君於2015年以租住方式租用了一年，呂麗君的父母亦在租約屆滿的2016年9月前搬走了；該宅曾屬劉鑾雄所有，現屬劉鑾雄的相關人士透過Crown Castle公司持有。呂麗君現居住的，其實是白建時道12號豪宅，業權屬劉鑾雄的太太甘比（陳凱韻），劉鑾雄同意讓呂麗君暫住，是為了方便呂麗君照顧和陪伴一對兒女所安排的居所。而雅賓利道單位連車位，是劉鑾雄以信託形式送給女兒劉秀盈的禮物，呂麗君只是以託管人身分暫時持有，實際屬兩父女一同擁有。
根據聲明內容，劉鑾雄從沒送過任何物業給呂麗君，至於報道提及的畢架山峰、禮頓山及擎天半島等物業，據知全部與劉鑾雄無關，而有關英國6層高大宅，呂麗君也只是以訪客身分在旅遊期間曾短暫停留過，業權並不屬她。另外，劉鑾雄也從沒送過任何遊艇給呂麗君。
曾否認緋聞
令人感到奇怪是，呂麗君否認健身教練是男友，以及被傳投資失利虧損近20億港元的報道；但從沒澄清過傳媒誤報劉鑾雄向其送贈物業及所居的地址。此外，呂麗君為劉鑾雄誕下的大女劉秀盈去年突然在社交網貼出兒時被父親擁 的照片、單方面高調晒親情，疑有人默許大打溫情牌以修補父女關係。
■甘比陪伴大劉經歷過不少風浪。
■雅賓利道單位連車位，是劉鑾雄以信託形式送給女兒劉秀盈的禮物。
■大劉在倫敦的6層高大宅。
■山頂白加道31號A獨立屋連花園及私人泳池，價值約4.8億元。
■大劉在2016年的聲明中，沒有提過送出任何物業。
■呂麗君與女兒感情深厚。
■呂麗君現居住在白建時道12號。
■劉秀盈早前突然在社交網貼出兒時被父親擁 的照片。
■白建時道12號豪宅的業權屬劉鑾雄太太甘比所有。
物業資產，實際持有人並非呂麗君！據知，山頂白加道三十一號A獨立屋連花園及私人泳池原本是大劉借給呂麗君父母暫住的地方，二人分手後，一度改以租住形式，事隔一年後租約期滿，目前由大劉關連人士透過CROWN CASTLE LIMITED持有。而呂麗君一對子女所住的渣甸山白建時道十二號大宅是大劉安排給他們的住所，呂麗君則以照顧子女為由同住，真正的持有人為甘比。至於市值約9,000萬的中半山雅賓利大廈單位連車位則由大劉與女兒劉秀盈共同持有，而呂麗君以託管人的身分暫時持有。大劉亦從未贈予她遊艇及英國6層高大宅，呂麗君只是曾經住過該大宅而已。
£70 million for Eaton Square house with gold-plated pool
Lavish London home with a gold-lined swimming pool is set to smash all records after being put up for sale for £70 million.
The price tag values the Belgravia house at an “unheard of” £6,500 a square foot, exceeding even the Candy brothers’ apartments at One Hyde Park.
The six-floor property is in Eaton Square, where Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi used to live and where James Bond had his fictional home. Nearby residents include Roman Abramovich and Baroness Thatcher.
If the asking price is met it will become the most expensive house in pounds per square foot in London — and would generate almost £5 million in stamp duty for the Government.
The property would also have doubled in value since last selling, for £33 million, in November 2009. Before that it changed hands for £9.5 million in December 2005.
The price has astonished London property experts and is the latest example of how “super-prime” London homes have soared in value since the banking crisis.
Its owner is Hong Kong property billionaire Joseph Lau who owns a Boeing 787 Dreamliner and one of the biggest collections of fine French wines.
The Grade II* listed Regency home was the subject of a massive refurbishment by its previous owner, South African former Del Monte boss Vivian Imerman. He commissioned his interior designer daughter Bianca Ladow — known as “the female Candy” — to turn the former Belgian embassy into a “money no object” billionaire’s residence.
Comforts include a 41ft swimming pool with gold leaf tiles under a gold panelled ceiling; a “mini spa” with Jacuzzi, gymnasium, steam room and sauna and “treatment suite”; a cinema room with white quartz flooring; a kitchen decorated with mother of pearl and platinum; gilded golf leaf ceiling cornices, a lift and a “winter garden” with a sliding glass roof allowing al fresco entertaining in summer.
The 10,700 sq ft property, which went on the market last month with Knight Frank, also includes a mews house to its rear that has been converted into a leather lined garage for four cars with a staff flat above.
Mr Imerman sold the house during his bitter divorce from Lisa Tchenguiz, the younger sister of property magnates Vincent and Robert Tchenguiz.
The property was built in 1827 by architect Thomas Cubitt. It was bought by the Belgian government in 1920 after the Belgian ambassador attended a dinner party there.
During the Second World War it served as the headquarters of the Belgian government-in-exile and was visited by Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Montgomery and General Eisenhower.

疫下樓巿破頂系列一
名人紛入市 董建華首置購嘉慧園
【明報專訊】今年樓市暢旺，除新盤受「新香港人」追捧外，傳統豪宅亦獲不少政經界猛人入市，如前特首、現任全國政協副主席董建華，早前以1.6億元購入中半山豪宅嘉慧園；另信置（0083）主席黃志祥妻子楊素瓊、新世界中國董事鄭家成妻子李倩琦，分別以1.038億及逾1.22億元入市山頂嘉樂園。
土地註冊處顯示，董建華今年8月以1.6億元連車位購入中半山嘉慧園低層C室，單位實用面積3335方呎、實呎4.79萬元。當時他透過發言人回應，「單位在董擔任特首時，由政府租入供特首使用，董卸任後續租用作私人用途，近月得知業主出售物業遂決定購入。」
黃志祥鄭家成妻同購山頂嘉樂園
董建華是次只需付4.25%印花稅，意味以首置身分入市。資料顯示，董建華家族早於1971年已斥資約47.68萬元購入同層毗鄰D室，目前由其妻董趙洪娉等人擔任董事的一家公司持有。今次沽出物業之原業主，早於1982年390萬元購入，持貨39年，帳面獲利1.56億元，賺幅高達40倍。
至於黃志祥妻子楊素瓊，今年4月以1.038億元購入嘉樂園B座低層單位，實用面積2448方呎，實呎4.24萬元，楊素瓊同樣以首置身分入市；原業主1995年1420萬元購入，帳面賺8960萬元或6.3倍。
另鄭家成妻李倩琦，今年3月以逾1.22億元購入山頂嘉樂園B座中層單位，實用面積2448方呎，實呎約5萬元，惟當時李倩琦需付樓價15%印花稅；原業主2002年約2339萬元購入，帳面大賺約9900萬元或4.2倍。

2.10 Skyhigh, Pollock’s Path, The Peak Sold: $800m (2011) Money ain’t a thang, just look at my pinky ring – this is the most expensive residential property ever sold in Hong Kong. Located on Pollock’s Path, a road last year ranked as the most expensive street in the world, the 8,300sq ft house at 10 Skyhigh – a joint venture between film doyen Stephen Chow and Ryoden Development – sold in 2011 to an undisclosed owner for a whopping $800m.
3. 8, 28 Barker Rd, The Peak Sold: $740m (2013) Most pricy investments require the involvement of a bank. But not for Chinese lawyer Raymond Li, the owner of this Peak property, who paid $740 million, mostly in cold, hard cash (in suitcases, we wonder?). At three storeys and 6,863sq ft, it includes five bedrooms, two car parks and a rooftop pool with an outstanding view of Victoria Harbour. It has it in spades over the 6,847sq ft House 7, which wealthy philanthropist Qian Fenglei bought for $690m, with a 1,822sq ft garden to boot. Bargain.
4. 3 Gough Hill Rd, The Peak Sold: $650m (2013) In 2013, this 5,145sq ft villa became the third most expensive home in Hong Kong, after garment exporter Peter Law Kin-sang sold the property for $650 million in what some have called 2013’s most notable deal in the luxury residence market. The price translates to a ridiculous $126,336 per square foot!
5. 8 Pollock’s Path, The Peak Sold: $580m (2011) It’s no wonder European diplomats love The Peak – the temperate region must remind them of their digs back home. This patch of land used to belong to the former French Consulate and commands views over Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour. It’s a grade II historic building, measures 11,222sq ft and was sold at an average of $51,684 per square foot.
6. House 3, 28 Barker Rd, The Peak Sold: $538m (2013) Real estate agents know their property – particularly Vivien Chan, the chairwoman of the Estate Agents Authority, who owns this piece of prime real estate on Barker Road. This residence in the seven-storey building measures in at 5,706sq ft and sold for $538m just last year.
7. 11/F, Opus, Stubbs Rd, Mid-Levels Asking: $470m Hong Kong's Top 10 Expensive homes - Shot of Stubbs, Mid Levels This apartment in the famed Frank-Gehry-designed Opus hit headlines last year for the price it couldn’t attract: $470m. If it had sold at this price, it would have made the 5,409sq ft space the most expensive apartment in the city per square foot – a record currently held by, you guessed it, another apartment in Opus, which sold for $455m in 2012.
8. 66/F, 39 Conduit Rd, Mid-Levels Sold: $360m (2011) Hong Kong's Top 10 Expensive homes - View of Central from Conduit Rd, Mid-levels While Conduit Road might only be the second-highest road in Western Mid-Levels, this 66th floor apartment takes you way up into the clouds. In fact, it is the tallest building in the area with glorious views of Victoria Harbour. With 24 units up for sale, the 5,636sq ft Unit A sold the highest for $360.7m back in 2011.

Selling at a mere $41,125 per square foot, it also shows that Kowloon is where the value is at.

The most expensive streets in Cambridge
1.Storeys Way is one of the places I visited, and I went to it with a certain expectation in my mind of a fancy area with mansion-type houses as I already knew what it costs to live in such as place.
Storeys Way is located in Castle ward, not far from Kettle's Yard house and modern art museum.
It's also right by the heart of the city where with just a short walk you could be crossing the River Cam over the famous Bridge of Sighs.
Here the average price of a property is over £2 million so I expected to see that reflected in its surroundings.
This street wasn't exactly what I anticipated when visiting an area full of so much wealth as there there were some strange buildings and flats just around the corner.
While this certainly does not mean the area wasn't very nice with many large houses, its wealth was more hidden than other areas.
To try and explain it more simply, I would say if you were to visit this street not knowing it was in Cambridge you probably wouldn't have guessed the property prices. However, knowing the high cost of living in the city meant I was not surprised.
2. Cranmer Road left me with a similar feeling but for a different reason.
While it had the style of a very expensive street with fairly large houses, it was a simple, long thin road filled with many cars.
The buildings were not packed with character so while driving down it all I can say is that I didn't think much of it.
Cranmer Road is surrounded by Cambridge University sports grounds and is perfectly situated for anyone popping into the city centre.
The average property price here is again over £2 million and while it is clearly a place anybody would be more than happy to live, it doesn't strike you as incredibly well off.
3. Clarkson Road is another in the top 10 of the most expensive streets in Cambridge.
It's just a short walk from St John's College playing fields with an average property price of £2,218,1456 to be exact.
It was filed with big trees, a mixture of old and new buildings which appeared to be very large and was isolated from the areas around it.
While £2 million properties may not scream humble, that is how I would describe this street. Despite being noticeably prosperous it seemed like a peaceful, striking me as an area families would live in.
Its tall trees make it a very pretty area and somewhere you would struggle to find a fault.
4. Chaucer Road was the first street I visited where I could visible tell that anyone who resides there would be the wealthiest among us.
Near Cambridge city centre, it is a short walk from the beautiful Botanic Gardens. It's also not far from the River Cam for picturesque evening strolls.
Its location is sure to be part of what has upped its property value but its beautiful scenery must be the next reason.
Here the average property price is over £3 million, the highest on this list so far.
