Parking in Kensington now costs more than a three-bed house in Manchester – and buyers are lining up to pay.

A car parking space in the west London neighbourhood is close to being sold for nearly £180,000 after receiving multiple offers.

Estate agents who are advertising the spot at York House Place,near Kensington High Street,said they received two offers just below the asking price last week and that they are confident of making a sale.

An agent told Metro the seller was a man who had a flat in the building but does not need the space anymore.

The buyer,meanwhile,‘will probably be someone who owns a house in the area but doesn’t have parking,and they’ve got a luxurious car that they want to keep secure and safe,’ they said.

He said he is not surprised by the price tag,adding: ‘It’s just the way things are going,things have changed completely over the last 20 years.’

The father of two added that his kids will never be able to buy a house in Kensington and Chelsea nowadays.

However,he added that the sky-high price tag does not make him angry,instead opting to congratulate the eventual seller of the space. 

‘Whoever manages to sell that,they’re a winner,’ he said.
