No doubt the embassy is situated in one of the posh place in London. The road where it is is one of the most expensive area in London if not in the world . Also where Diana's Palace is and Laxmi Mittal is a resident few yards away from the building. It is worth multi million pounds. But our Embassy building is one of the worst looking and is one of the most disgusting from inside. There is a lot of smell inside, and offices are not looked after. wohi nepal office ko haal. Developer has estimated the cost of property to renovate at 4-5 million pounds. If the office is not renovated on time there is a chance of roof collapse because the roof is so old that there are so many leaks, Now either the embassy has to be renovated or has to be sold. If the embassy is renovated then there will be further 25-50% rise on the price tag so its worth renovating it but 5 million pounds to renovate? Will our government fund it? I very much doubt it. But if they sell it, it should be sold on public market, not to one of the Arabs ( as I heard). It should get its full value and that money should be invested to relocate the embassy. Renting somewhere else in London will again cost our government a fortune as the embassy is not generating as much revenue at present to pay for the rent and the staffs. 

So whatever they gonna do I pray that there will be no dalali in between and I really wish if it has to be sold, one of our fellow Nepali buys it. I know there are plenty nepalese who can afford that building.
