Cracking programme, have been sold on the idea for several years now, just finding it imposible to buy some land anywhere where I can legally put a 'van and live in it. There has to be a better way than the 25 year mortgage on a legoland 'tacky box'.
Pikey, me??? No, just looking for a viable alternative to the accepted and very expensive norm. I want to be in charge, not the bank/building society ;) .

I think there will be a few more people noticing it now! Very cool. I was surprised at the value!
 
there was a great blog for the crystal palace bogs.....they bought for 65k and its work 200k now, as its underground they had to have it 'tanked' to stop leaks but its very cool

If you want alternative, Google search "Shoreham houseboats" and select images

Spent a very enjoyable afternoon last summer walking along the gang plank chatting to the owners

You can buy woodland and erect a shed for maintenance purposes with a view to short stopovers. Alternatley, a permanent erection (ohh err I said it twice :shock: ) can be lived in if it has wheels, even if it doesn't move. That's as I understand it anyway and i've been looking for cheap woodland for a while now. Depends how much luxury you want I suppose.

is this true - my wife [and sisters] were left some woodland in cornwall..so I could buy a volvo coach push it into the woods, strip it out and live in it? seems too simple?
