Pan Peninsula. 40th floor. Canary Wharf views.
Bought for £1.4m in 2018.
Sold for £950k in 2025.
£450,000 gone in 7 years.
The S&P 500 would've turned that £1.4m into £2.7m.
Would you still buy in Canary Wharf?

We can't find John & Margaret's home on HM Land Registry, but sounds like it appreciated in value by 5,257% over the past 44 years 😂

Our little home. Bought in 1982 for £28,000. Just a modest family home in Surrey with a bit of a garden. I remember picking up extra shifts at the post office that summer to save for the deposit. We were so young. Apparently it's worth £1.5 million now but to us it's just home. 🏡
