Fine & Country Richmond, which launched the world’s first super prime real estate Non-Fungible Token (NFT), has partnered with developer Burbeck Capital, part of the family run Burbeck Group, to launch another unique property that will exist in both the real world and the digital one.

Located in Barnes, SW13, the property, which is called Birch Brooke, is positioned as the final property of Rosslyn Avenue, on the verge of the Beverley Brook River.

The four-bedroom house has been described by the developer as one of west London’s most unique properties.

Sean Barrett, managing director of Fine & Country Richmond, notes that as this home is unique in its design, it lends itself to being turned into a non-fungible token (NFT).

He explained: “The NFT will be created to the exact specifications of the physical property, with the buyer of the physical property will be given the first rights of refusal on the purchase of the NFT. While owning a property within the metaverse is a relatively new concept, the market has been growing and continues to gain momentum.

“As I mentioned when we launched the previous property NFT, despite the recency of the metaverse innovation, according to a recent poll in YouGov, 29% of the population think that being able to own digital assets such as NFTs or virtual property and land in the Metaverse is a huge opportunity attracting investors around the world,

“As the demand for virtual property and land grows, we will continue to see more and more properties that will be built in both physical and virtual worlds. Most of us have heard the expression attributed to Mark Twain – buy land, they’re not making it anymore. Purchasing virtual property is opening up new real estate opportunities for investors looking for something unique.”

Jack Willcocks, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Burbeck Interiors, added: “We are delighted to partner with Fine and Country Richmond on this project, they share our enthusiasm for innovation, supported by a strong foundation of knowledge in the property sector. For us, the collaboration on launching an NFT reflects an extension of our overall design, a metaverse piece of art that is also a digital asset.”
