A Scottish man bought an abandoned stone cottage in his village and turned it into his first tiny home over 11 months — check it out
"The floor was basically just ground and mud. There was no concrete floor," he said. "The windows were bad. The roof needed quite a lot of work."

Tiny homes are fascinating but when faced with the hurdles of planning permission and the sheer cost of land in the south east it’s all a bit silly to pay a couple of hundred grand for a glorified bothy.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I love looking at pictures and videos of Tiny Homes.
But quite often with the UK ones it turns out they are in Mummy and Daddy's garden which presumably means you don't have to pay for the land and you can pop in for a bath or shower.

I'd say Airbnb - I bet there's next to no storage too?

It's one of those ones where it probably would have been cheaper to knock it all down and build from scratch, but good effort in semi- preserving it.
The only sad thing is given the size of the windows it's probably quite dark inside. More or larger rooflights would have brought more light in but that was probably out of budget.

Gentleman and Van are booked for the moving date in two weeks. Broadband being connected in two weeks and two days.
Contracts being exchanged in one week.
We are currently melting in the heatwave and dreaming of our future home which has a garden.
Still loads of packing to do. Boxes piling up high.
Wish me luck!

Our lawyer has received queries from the buyers.. he will review and contact us if he needs more information.why does this take sooooooo long?

It has been almost a month since the lawyer last emailed me, asking for something she never sent.
I will piss on the lawyers doorstep when this is done.

Our shite estate agents still haven’t responded to my request for an update a week ago.

Because the solicitors don't talk to each other they are "email warriors".

Try asking your lawyer BUT expect to be charged for the privilege and don't hold your breath for an answer.

To be fair our solicitor isn’t bad, always responds quickly. We used him when we bought the house and he seemed more proactive then but maybe we pushed a lot more when buying 11 years ago.
We are lucky that we are only in a chain of one and their buyers are first time buyers so hopefully it will start moving.

First questions are on parking permits, how you get them and what it costs… the buyers already live in Lambeth!
Lots of other stupid questions but this one stood out…

Not sure there’s anywhere in Lambeth with CPZ now. I have googled it and can’t tell them how much it will cost as I don’t know what type of car they have!
It all looks fairly straight forward - some of the questions relate to them clearly not reading our initial property form properly!

Took until nearly 1pm before we got the keys but it was worth the wait.
Gentleman with van were amazing. Thank you for the recommendation shakespearegirl.
Best of luck all in your continuing purchases.
Lots of unpacking for me and Mrs Catfan and Catfan junior to do over the coming week.
