Not so long ago, our mates over at Bankrate decided to figure out what are the most expensive properties featured on TV. British TV, to be more precise, simply because this mortgage company is based in the UK and has the right amount of knowledge to calculate, assess, and estimate how much certain places currently cost. Want to know more? Then please check out the following top-ten list they kindly allowed me to share...

Description: Even though this house was demolished in 2019, it still remains one of the most popular properties seen on British TV. Not only because it was designed to encompass modernism and functionality (two attributes that continue to be a big hit with homeowners today), but in addition to this, it's also located in a pretty decent area, Borehamwood, which boasts great transport links to London and provides fairly solid business opportunities nearby.
