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...
Claim To Fame: It has predominantly been shown throughout the well-known reality show, 'Big Brother'.
Location: Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
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.
Current Value: £4.5 million.
Claim To Fame: It can be seen on the British rom-com, 'Love Actually'.
Location: Notting Hill, London.
Description: This spacious bright pink property is located in a pleasant part of West London and is perfect for singletons, couples, or small families, just starting out. The area is also very trendy and boasts a vast array of shops, pubs, and other attractions for the nouveau riche.
Current Value: £3 million.
Claim To Fame: Similar to the 'Big Brother House', this large property is predominantly featured on a popular reality show that shares its name... 'Love Island'.
Location: Majorca, Spain.
Description: This secluded property is incredibly stylish and boasts 5 bedrooms, a large swimming pool, and a spacious decking area.

Current Value: £2.5 million.
Claim To Fame: It's the home of Sharon, Dorien, and Tracey from the popular British sitcom, 'Birds of a Feather'.
Location: Chigwell, Essex.
Description: This suburban residence is a detached family home that's situated in a very desirable location for celebrities and footballers alike. It's also very close to Epping Forest and has very reliable transport links to London, so houses in this area are priced at a premium, with experts predicting valuations to continue rising year on year.
Current Value: £2.5 million.
Claim To Fame: It's best known for being Sherlock Holmes's main HQ.
Location: Baker Street, London.
Description: This upmarket apartment has a traditional appearance, both inside and out, and is steeped in Victorian history and elegance. It also provides fairly good access for traveling around London so people can see the sights.

Claim To Fame: It's where Geraldine Granger lives whenever she appears on the British sitcom, 'The Vicar of Dibley'.
Location: Turville, Buckinghamshire
Description: This three-bedroom house is an excellent home for bringing up a young family because it offers a traditional design and layout, both internally and externally, and comes complete with a garage, a pantry room, and a reception area. It's also located in a nice part of Buckinghamshire, so is ideal for those people who embrace the village lifestyle.
Current Value: £650,000

Current Value: £500,000
Claim To Fame: It can be seen throughout the 'Harry Potter' franchise as The Dursleys’ family home.
Location: Berkshire, Bracknell.
Description: This nicely proportioned property is the perfect size for a young family who would like to live the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it's only located 40 miles outside of London. While on the other, it's not too far from the British countryside and the local tech industries.
Current Value: £475,000
Claim To Fame: It's the flat featured on the British sitcom, 'Peep Show', which is shared by both Mark and Jeremy.
Location: Croydon, London.
