Super-prime houseboats

20100111Chelseahouseboat

There's a Press Association piece here about Ocean... this extremely striking houseboat moored at Cadogan Pier, and currently marketed by Foxtons, at £1m (illustration, above). They're saying it's the most expensive houseboat they've ever had on their books, and it comes with a swimming pool, a sunken (literally) utility room, three bedrooms with bathrooms and that kick-ass location. It's not, however, the most expensive houseboat currently on the market. Check out this Putney-moored four-bedroom extravaganza, with a 30ft reception room and a guide price of £1.3m (illustration, below). I've always thought there was a real romance to the houseboat, but that may well be because I've never lived on one. Anyone have any London houseboat experiences, good or bad?

Beautiful houseboat, this is not how most houseboat living is. Usually your swimming pool is off the back of your porch. Most of our houseboats in Seattle are under $500k, but the floating homes hit $2MM and $3MM sometimes.

There are not many law firms who have experience in conveyancing houseboats. The danger is that in choosing the wrong conveyancing lawyer the transaction could drift.
