I also assume they won't get any basement car parking.

Unless they own a train.

I wonder how that will go down? I assume the sort of person who pays
millions for a flat prefers car parking to direct access to the
District line.

There's not much parking in many new developments these days. For
example the most expensive new flats in Cambridge specifically had less
than one space (which cost extra) per apartment.

In a lot of places it seems to be a condition of planning to allocate 1
space per property.

I do not know why we don't do what the Chinese do - new block of flats
(even if 3 storeys) gets underground car parking.

Not only, but in one block I visited, each allocated space was actually
a garage with roller shutter door. Very sensible.
