Little is known about the internal reconstruction of the building. There will be solar panels mounted on the roof of the building; a car elevator will be built in the basement.

It is worthy of note that the company Labarre Trading acquired the building and other house next to it for 125 million pounds in 2007.

One of the most expensive homes in the world is also located in England and is priced at over $100 million. It has 103 rooms and five swimming pools and a heated marble driveway. It is worthy of note that Russian wealthy buyers come to London and increase prices at the high end.
