A pair of impoverished students posed as millionaires in order to be given a tour of a £5million penthouse by an estate agent - and then cheekily offered £800 for a 'quick sale ' . Students Ben Foreman and Will Bainbridge , both aged 19 , pretended to be millionaires so they could view the luxury 17th storey penthouse flat in Aldgate , London , which features a roof terrace and two kitchens . The University College London students , from Camden , north west London , dressed up in their best suits and said the estate agent did not catch on - even whenl they proposed a 'quick sale ' offer of £800 on the multi-million pound flat . Students Ben Foreman ( pictured right posing on the penthouse 's bed ) and Will Bainbridge ( pictured right in the kitchen ) pretended to be millionaires in order to view the luxury 17th storey penthouse in London . Second year philosophy student Ben wrote about their experience in student newspaper The Tab : 'Living in London we see all these massive places and we saw an advert for this one and thought it looked awesome . 'So we posed as London 's latest millionaires in order to view the finest apartment the capital has to offer . Ben told the estate agent that he works in London 's exclusive Savile Row and second year economics student Will posed as a high-flying banker . They wrote : 'The estate agent showed us architectural plans for the completed development as we marvelled at the power of human ingenuity . 'Then we maintained a polite silence as we whooshed up in the lift to the 17th floor . ' The pair were taken on a tour of the three-bedroom penthouse which boasts a games room , four bathrooms and two living rooms . Ben wrote : 'Looking around , it was clearly a decent gaff , and probably worth its eye-watering rent . 'Despite forcefully voicing our concerns that the view was limited to only 360° , the estate agent assured us that on a good day we ’ d have a great view of some prime London real estate . 'The bed was comfortable and the bath was more than spacious enough for both of us at once . 'We went in with an offer of £800 , which is the sum of our overdrafts combined . It was declined . ' The pair wondered if they had the money whether they would buy the penthouse anyway . Will said : 'It was the dream , but we questioned whether our money could be better spent elsewhere . ' Student Ben appears to have taken this selfie in the penthouse bath - they also took this picture of the kitchen . Ben told MailOnline : ‘ I ’ ve Just started writing for The Tab . We recently went on a bar crawl in Bishopsgate and thought imagine if you lived here , and that ’ s where the idea came from really . ‘ The man who showed us around was really nice . The developers have a station where the concierge will eventually be and he took us straight up and was very professional the whole way through . ‘ He didn ’ t look like he twigged we were just students – but he may have just had a really good poker face . ‘ I told him I worked on Savile Row which isn ’ t technically a lie as I do have a Saturday job in Abercrombie . ‘ We mentioned the £800 in passing but I think he thought we were joking – he didn ’ t seem to take it seriously . ‘ Seeing the penthouse has definitely given us more motivation to do well now . ‘ I ’ ve definitely been working harder this week than I was the week before. ’ MailOnline approached the estate agent for a comment .
