Not at all, it just comes at prices that makes you feel like you've been kicked squarely in the happy place with steel toes.
About 3 years ago I did a lot work at a house renovation in Hammersmith the building was nothing special but was a 4 story building that was previously bedsits, the new owners turned it into a single occupancy house. Mummy and daddy were footing the bill and the budget for the door handles alone came in North of £15k. They were not unattractive and were solid brass castings but the owner was looking for ways to "accelerate the patina".
