The air above a London flat is on sale for £10,000
The 'airspace' above a south west London flat is on the market for £10,000. The space at 47 Northcote Road in Battersea is on sale despite no planning permission to build. Auctioneer Phillip Arnold states in the listing that the freeholder "will be providing landlord's consent to develop" on top of the roof of the flat below. The plot is offered "with vacant possession" and the auctioneer's site says "a new 150-year lease with a peppercorn ground rent will be granted upon completion". The space is located within walking distance of Clapham Junction station and is above two self-contained flats and a ground-floor restaurant that is changing into a café. It is also within easy reach of Wandsworth and the River Thames .
