HAMPTON Hall – a stately home in Oxshott, Surrey – is up for sale for £29 million (or the equivalent in cryptocurrency) along with a NFT containing the copyright and virtual version of the home.

Both the real and virtual versions of Hampton Hall will come with 11-bedrooms, a private bowling alley, home cinema, gym, swimming pool and bullet-proof windows throughout.

Those who are interested can take a virtual tour.

The owner of the Hampton Hall NFT will be able to download the house into a virtual world such as Decentraland or upload it into a digital picture frame to hang on the walls of the real house.

The tokens do have limited use so far.

However, this week one of the first real-world homes was sold as an NFT for $653,000.

Vesta Equity launched this week in the US and will help homeowners to sell stakes in their real homes as NFTs instead of remortgaging.

KEYS Token, a virtual property company, is launching a collection of 8,888 “meta mansions” in March 2022.

Fine & Country estate agents in Richmond are selling the house and token.

Managing director Sean Barratt said: “NFTs are a real trend at the moment.

“We recently sold a £5 million house in Surrey, a period property that had been extensively renovated and extended.

“The developer asked the buyer whether they’d be interested in buying an NFT of the house for 2 per cent of the purchase price of the physical asset.

“The developer wanted to test the waters.

“The buyer said yes, very quickly.

“It will depend on the interest generated, that will determine where bids open but the owner of the physical asset will have first refusal.”
