Since there are so many visitors who have reached our page via googling “Paris Hilton Hampstead”, I am assuming some of you are interested in knowing more about the home she is renting?

She is reportedly paying £7500 per week for a home in Hampstead.

Hampstead, the area in the North West of London (NW3, London Borough of Camden), is well known for its intellectual, artistic, and literary associations and for the large 3,2m2 park Hampstead Heath. According to a survey, the area is said to have more millionaires within its boundaries than any other area of Britain. Stephen Fry (one of my favourite actors) and Elizabeth Taylor were born in Hampstead.

But what can one rent for £7500 per week in this posh part of London?

We did a quick search in the few UK property portals, and I must say there are very little choice in that price range.

The most expensive house costs £12 000 per week, while the top apartment rents for £8000 per week. Everything else is already a couple of thousand pounds cheaper.

Our search returned just one 5-bedroom duplex apartment in a high security gated development that is in the same price range - £8000 per week. See the ad HERE. This furnished flat has views to Hampstead Heath, benefits from a private leisure complex, numerous terraces and patio areas with secure underground parking.

So that is one example of what you can rent for £7500 per week in Hampstead, London NW3.

It could very well be that Miss Hilton is renting a place that does not come to the “open market” at all. It could be a house or an apartment that was for sale, but was rented out due to the difficult state of the property market. But these are just my speculations.
