AN 11-bed mansion is on the market with its own virtual replica for £29million.
Hampton Hall’s owners will be exclusively offered a non-fungible token (NFT) containing the home’s copyrighted blueprint and digital version. The mansion, which has a pool, could be worth more as NFTs could sell for a lot. It means they can download the house into a virtual world or upload it into a digital picture frame to hang on the walls.
But the house may be worth a lot more as its NFT could sell for a high price.
NFTs hold data which is used as proof of ownership. It is secured on a digital record of transactions known as blockchain.
Both the real and virtual mansion will have a private bowling alley, home cinema, gym, swimming pool and bullet-proof windows.
Sean Barrratt, of Fine & Country estate agents which is selling the house and token, said: “NFTs are a real trend at the moment.
“We recently sold a £5million house in Surrey. The developer asked the buyer whether they’d be interested in buying an NFT of the house for two per cent of the purchase price of the physical asset. Most read in Money
“The developer wanted to test the waters. The buyer said yes, very quickly.”
He said it is difficult to predict how much the virtual version will sell for, adding it will depend on the interest generated. The owner of the mansion will get first refusal.
