AI summary
A man named Anders Fernstedt has lived on the porch of a vacant $440 million NZD London mansion for three years. The 45-room property at 2-8 Rutland Gate sits empty due to financial issues linked to the Chinese property giant Evergrande.
This story highlights the extreme "ghost home" phenomenon, where ultra-luxury properties are used as investments rather than homes. While Anders makes do in a makeshift shelter, the mansion's interior remains unused, drawing parallels to vacant investment properties in New Zealand.
