Trying to justify her poor uninformed choice, if Kate was truly happy with it she wouldnāt be changing so much immediately or crying all week. Kateās delusional thinking her flat is a bargain great buy for London when itās obviously not. She paid approx Ā£1 M for that Flat at that time ( developers always add to asking prices so buyers can offer a bit below as if itās a good deal) yet spent no time selecting it & spending more time now thinking about her handbag shelves arrangement after paying about Ā£200K cash deposit.
Priorities are all wrong.
Just catching up now agree with everyone her flat is a disappointing buy, cannot do much with these small odd room shapes with lots of wasted space - ugly windows & low quality specification. Not one room looks nice or good size proportions - her main bedroom barely the width of her king size bed with two small bedside tables with odd triangle sun room add on. Even the proposed new dressing room design looks crap with limited storage space. Tiny outdoor space off the small main living room - surprisingly her old sofa, rug & TV area takes up all of this space down to the pokey kitchen corner. Comes across like she didnāt understand the dimensions of the rooms on a plan in relation to reality & her furniture planning needs - likely exaggerated Square footage of sales brochure looked big on paper but so much is wasted space so it isnāt. Probably didnāt even measure her old flat room sizes so could see the size difference comparison. Iād presumed she wouldāve picked out a place more like Nadia Anyaās with her spacious kitchen with island / Dining / Living Space stylish design. Rushed to buy first one she saw to get the status symbol of being a young homeowner was a big mistake & will struggle to sell it later on as a consequence as a lot better new build flats in the same area. Rightmove surfing isnāt equal to going to view real properties. Odd she didnāt get her family or anyone to come view it with her as a second opinion or advice, she didnāt get lucky first time just impatient got conned. Developer has ripped her off with a substandard finish apartment but her fault for not looking at any other developments to compare specs in reality.
Helps to save a huge cash deposit at ages 22-24 as Kate unusually gets so much on expenses, only pays 19% income tax, freebies & got her boyfriends to pay for everything else expensive like all luxury holidays, all nights out & designer items so she had no real expenditure but doesnāt appreciate it. Easy now to get her selection mistakes fixed for free like new flooring, wardrobes & kitchen cabinets wrapped which most would never need or be able to do with a new build purchase. Plus now changing all the chrome door handles, sockets, light switches to brass, adding a fireplace & panelling following trends squandering more money. Instead shouldāve bought a period property with character that meets her needs & desired look not weirdly buy the first one in only building she viewed. Fools rush in. Fell for sales technique to show the flat the developers wanted to get rid off first then show a couple others already sold / less finished to make 1st one look more desirable to buy & stressing urgency that she has to put in offer quickly or miss out over a year before completion.
Totally conceited & condescending saying shouldnāt compare on social media as itās just her path to own (& be overpaid spoilt) but others path in life just to rent such a turn off to her young followers whoās clicks funds her luxury lifestyle. Agree must be demoralising for Bee as designers donāt get paid much despite working harder than entitled Kate & with no real chance to buy herself for a long time. Kate has no empathy for what itās like it, oblivious in her own rich bubble. She made it clear before, she looks down on anyone that earns less than her as dismissing as not as career driven or hard working as her. Sheās now obsessed with acquiring status symbols & flaunting her nouveaux riche lifestyle image same as all the other fake copycat influencers.
