The most expensive property on the list was a six-bed terraced house in Belgravia priced at £62.5m.
The stamp duty on this property would be almost £7.5m.
If the stamp duty on all the properties on the market priced above £20m was combined, it would equal £72.23m.
Of all the properties listed, only one was found outside London (Ascot).
Alex Gosling, CEO of HouseSimple.com said: “The super prime market has suffered since the stamp duty changes, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead in the water.
“When you have £20m plus to spend, you’re unlikely to baulk at paying a few million pounds in stamp duty.
“And there are buyers out there still willing to pay premium prices to live in the most exclusive areas.
“So, what does £20m get you? Outside London you can probably pick up a country estate.
“In London, with the price per square footage so high in areas like Knightsbridge and Belgravia, you might have to lower your expectations.
“It’s staggering that a quarter of the most expensive properties on the UK market right now are flats.
“It just shows how crazy the property market is in the capital when £20m doesn’t even buy you a house!”
