Particulars: The Craven street property is being sold as a freehold property by Dexters 

The lower ground floor has a staff room, utility room and additional storage space. 

Six floors at the property are accessible as the house has a lift. The property also has CCTV and an EV charging station. 

The property is being sold freehold, which Dexters claims is rare for a townhouse of its size and location. 

‘The house has been completely refurbished by the owners to an exacting specification’, it added.  

James Staite, board director of Dexters in Marylebone, said: ‘It is very rare for freehold townhouses of this size to come to the sales market as often they are generational purchases and passed down for years. 

‘Craven Street is in a fantastic location, moments walk from iconic Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column as well as close to the River Thames. 

‘The home is arranged for entertaining with a vast dining room, a wonderful space for hosting guests.’

He added: ‘We anticipate buyers could be a family looking for a London home to transform to their needs, or a buyer seeking a very central home with more flexibility and space than a traditional pied-a-terre.’ 

Dexters claimed many of the neighbouring houses on the street have been split into flats or offices, making this £10million single entity a rare opportunity for buyers. 

Craven Street has an extensive and long-standing history. Dwellings in the street were previously home to the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Herman Melville and medical pioneer William Hewson.  

How to find a new mortgage

Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed rate deal is ending, or they are buying a home, should explore their options as soon as possible.

What if I need to remortgage? 

Borrowers should compare rates, speak to a mortgage broker and be prepared to act.

Homeowners can lock in to a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to take it.

Most mortgage deals allow fees to be added to the loan and only be charged when it is taken out. This means borrowers can secure a rate without paying expensive arrangement fees.

Keep in mind that by doing this and not clearing the fee on completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount over the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone. 

What if I am buying a home? 

Those with home purchases agreed should also aim to secure rates as soon as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be. 

Buyers should avoid overstretching and be aware that house prices may fall, as higher mortgage rates limit people’s borrowing ability and buying power.

How to compare mortgage costs 

The best way to compare mortgage costs and find the right deal for you is to speak to a broker.
