paulwrxboro

NotoriousREV

Hmm, I might build one in the back garden and rent it out to those waiting for the housing crash

About 2 years ago I did see for sale in Birkenhead a 2 bedroomed terraced housefor £9995 desciribed as a good DIY enthusiasts project. Dread to think what state of repair that place was in.

Thats the ideal garage!!!!

StickyMicky

this would be much better then having a conservatory in the back garden IMO as long as you had the space

There was a 1 bedroom self contained out house you could buy for £5k a while back. Just goes to show its the land and the profits that cause housing to be so bloody expensive.

So good was the quality, I would happily have lived in one.

You still need to buy the land, or have planning permission, it needs proper foundations, the costs would soon start to spiral. Oh n it's only ideal for dry climates, i.e not here!

Just checked online for stock, and as per usual with my luck...
"Not available for in store collection"

I don't know why, but I want one

I have an ideal spot at the top of the garden, with views over Eastbourne to the sea - it's a fantastic spot.

Anyone know what planning permissions might be required?

It's a lot of money for a shed. Not exactly bricks and mortar is it.


Clever marketing though - bound to fool a few...

Ah these are similar to what we have been looking at for an office at the rear of our garden although on a smaller scale - circa 5k which provide a couple resonable living area {office} and a room or 2 for beds etc should the need arise we have been looking into it for when our 13yo daughter needs private study time for college etc

I used to have one 5m x 5m & it housed the hot tub at my old house, changing area & dead space. They are defo the way forward for anyone with a bit of space.

Not quite as grand as that but I am currently lurking in mine, down the bottom of the garden, shes watching Americas next top model so I am in the shed watching a JJ Cale DVD (To Tulsa and back) in 5.1 surround with a glass of wine and Scoobynet beamed wirelessly from the house to my a pc (one of 5), might have a go on the Xbox in a bit !

This ones cost 1700 quid plus about another 1500 to get a base down, run electrics and fit out.

Wouldn't want to live in one though, even a 13 grand one, they get a bit parky in winter and can be a bit hot in summer, the comparatively thin construction and lack of proper heating doesn't help, but as a place to escape to its great.

The cronies will find a way to tax the **** out of that cabin

I like the way the pics inside of it are all nicely decorated, probably with all utilities plumbed in as well. That little lot will cost a dam lot more than the actual cost of the 'house' obviously. £4.95 for delivery? 4.95 my ****. So is this what the gov are using for the FTBI now?

DYK

what like Termite tax,it's against animal rights,because termites are having to eat extra wood....
