A CompareForexBrokers spokesman said: “It is difficult to justify some of these costs in practical terms. “A seven-night stay at Harford Manor is equivalent to 15 months of average rent in the UK.
“The properties are extraordinary, but the prices highlight just how disconnected parts of the short-term rental market have become from traditional measures of value. “London’s dominance is clear, but when you look outside the capital, the types of high-cost listings shift.
“In rural areas, the premium is driven by scale, history, or exclusivity. In cities, it is about location and finish. “The pricing reflects two very different versions of what luxury means to travellers.”
