I have looked in the past and couldn't find anything but this was on SSC a couple of months back and the strange thing is that there have been listings for apartments but their sale didn't show up on right move. There was a two bedroom apartment with a view of the pitch for sale for over a millionA quick look at Zoopla shows that the majority haven't changed hands since well before Roman arrived on the scene, most still being in the original owners' hands.
Wouldn't Chelsea have far more difficulty getting a CPO through if it came to that? I thought the argument against Archway was that the land was required as part of the wider regeneration of the Tottenham area - with Spurs new stadium a pivotal part of that. Chelsea can hardly argue that their stadium brings anything more to the area, the opposite I would have thought.

They have to be careful though. The stadium could cost them getting on£5-600mil. With the oil price it's unlikely that gazprom will be able to afford such a bumper sponsorship deal in future.
Even roman hasn't got infinite resources and has cut down spending in recent years.

FA eye £55million for sharing Wembley as talks with Chelsea and Tottenham continue
The Football Association expect to pull off a £55million cash bonanza by negotiating deals that would see Chelsea and Tottenham ground share Wembley from 2017-18.
- FA revenues would be boosted by a Premier League side using the ground
- Wembley board are under pressure to allow a club to use the stadium
- Chelsea need at least three seasons to build a 60,000 capacity stadium
- Tottenham will need a temporary home for a minimum of one campaign
Negotiations with the clubs continue, with sources close to the FA reporting that they are looking to find a way for both to make the temporary move.
The Wembley board are under pressure from the Premier League to allow at least one of the clubs to use the stadium, a move that would boost FA’s revenues.
Chelsea would require the stadium for a minimum of three seasons while they build a 60,000 capacity stadium costing £500m. Tottenham will need to relocate for at least one season — possibly two — while they build their new 61,000 multi-purpose stadium that will also host NFL.
The FA could expect to bank about £11m a year from each club, bringing in a total of £55m to FA coffers.
It is understood Tottenham are prepared to share Wembley with their Premier League rivals but Chelsea are less receptive. As such, the FA’s hopes of maximising their cash windfall hinge on persuading them that the ground share can work.
If not, the FA would miss out on additional revenue, with Spurs also considering Milton Keynes and the Olympic Stadium as alternatives.
FA chief executive Martin Glenn admits it is possible both clubs could play at Wembley without overlapping and there are no restrictions to how often the stadium is used when the capacity is restricted to 50,000.
A £50m windfall from the two clubs would soften the blow if there are shortfalls from the sale of the 17,500 corporate seats, which expire in 2017. Speaking at Soccerex recently, Glenn said: ‘We are there to provide help. We can run the FA for less costs and we can raise more. There’s a range of things. Wembley is primarily a football stadium; football matches are more profitable to run than concerts and other things.
‘It’s in our interest for clubs to redevelop their grounds, make superb facilities and if it’s possible to help them in that transition by using Wembley, we are absolutely supportive of that.’

Submission: Objection Comments: The new statium will be to close to the edges of pavement, it will be shadowing and towering over a ll the existing properties on the opposite side causing massive amount of lost of natural daylight ,it would also create the lost of open space making the souroundings feeling very clostrophobic . I also object to the historic buildings being demolished .The heard and character of Tottenham is already being demolished and destroyed, we cannot have any more historic building being lost .
There were quite a few conspiracy theories about Chelsea being behind the Archway holdup, paying legal bills etc. What are the chances that ENIC own a few of the Chelsea flats?
Loss of natural daylight? Chlostrophobic feel? Loss of sidewalk space? Oh I fucking hate people. Hey genius, you live in a fucking city. Are you kidding?
Already read that on another, less football orientated website, posted by some user called LaYiddo
Land registry would be the place to get definite info, I'd do it but I'm far too busy picking my nose.
To be honest I still think the Russian wants to move away.
