Tiny house mortgages

One of the attractions of living in a tiny house is the lack of massive mortgage payments. This is just as well since the high street banks are hardly lining up to provide tailor-made products for tiny homes. Here, for example, is what Nationwide say about the issue: You can't currently get a mortgage for a tiny home, although as they rise in popularity, this may well change. Depending on your financial situation and credit rating, you could get a personal loan to buy your property. The personal loan cannot be used to purchase land - it can only be used to purchase the tiny home itself. Talk to a financial advisor to find the best option for you. At the end of 2017, Which? asked six major providers how they felt about lending for smaller homes. HSBC didn’t reply, and Lloyds Bank, Barclays and Santander said they didn’t have an official size limit, simplty going on the basis of a professional valuation. Nationwide and RBS said they would not lend on properties which had floor …

Tiny House Scotland

Tiny House Scotland is owned and run by Jonathan Avery whose flagship build is the NestHouse ("a highly insulated modular moveable small eco-house") which is 3.4m wide and available in three different lengths (3.6m, 4.8m and 6m) although the modular nature of the design means additional sections can be added. He is also working on a NestPod which will be 2.55m wide and road towable. Here's what Jonathan says about his work:
The NestHouse project is my personal crusade to bring together the physics of building science with aesthetic design and individual craftsmanship to create a new alternative for sustainable living. It’s a snug wooden building which could be an affordable starter home, a lifestyle micro living choice, or the venue for a home based business. The name came from the idea of a bird nesting box – a small, cosy, sustainable, eco-friendly unit which provides an essential survival shelter for the occupants.
