A five-bedroom semi-detached house in Brent,north-west London,has sparked widespread debate among residents and social media users thanks to its striking £6 million asking price.

The figure far exceeds typical property values within the borough,where semi-detached houses sell for an average of £790,690,according to Rightmove.

The property,located near Brondesbury Park station,was last sold at auction in 2021 for £1.675 million,according to the Daily Mail,making the current asking price particularly notable.

Spread over three floors,the home features a modern refurbishment with several contemporary amenities,including eaves storage and a walk-in dressing room attached to the master bedroom.

Represented by estate agents Cluttons,the house is described as ‘designed from the ground up with an uncompromising commitment to quality and detail,’ incorporating architectural elegance alongside functional daily living spaces.

The listing also draws attention to approved planning permissions for further developments,including the addition of a studio and a swimming pool.

Despite these features,the listing has met with scepticism from neighbours and local residents.

One anonymous occupant,quoted by the Daily Mail,labelled the asking price ‘delusional,’ pointing out that Brent — particularly the Queens Park area — is not comparable to high-end markets such as Hampstead,where premium prices are more common.

Property data from the Office for National Statistics indicates that as of mid-2025,the average price in Brent was approximately £536,000,showing a decline of about 4.6% from the previous year.

On Reddit,users have been broadly sceptical about the justification for such a significant increase over market norms.

Comments often contrasted the purchase with options abroad,highlighting the perceived mismatch for international users between the price and the property type.

A spokesperson for Cluttons told Metro: ‘Due to extensive renovations across the entire property,the house should achieve a premium sale price.

‘Matched with the prestigious and desirable north London postcode,we anticipate much interest in this beautiful family home.’

And the property in Brent aligns with a growing pattern in parts of the UK,where houses are listed with unusually high asking prices.

For example,in August,a home in Hove,East Sussex,was placed on the market for almost four times the average street price,also causing a stir among local residents.

The couple who owned the property listed it for £2.5 million,despite buying it in 2010 for £750,000.

Regardless,the listing has brought attention to the complexities and disparities present in London’s housing market amid ongoing shifts in demand and pricing dynamics.
