It has been revealed this week that Standard Life is buying the London headquarters of the television channel, QVC, known as Building 8. The property, in Chiswick Park on Chiswick High Road, and comprising 126,000 square feet over five floors, is costing the asset-management buyer £71 million, in a deal that had attracted much interest from other investors, and which is £2 million over the original price asked by the seller, Schroders.
