What is the actual ownership and access situation regarding the log-cabin? Any restrictions on sale?

Classed as a mobile home
3 x quoted cost (dodgy builder)
Not finished
Owned by us in the same way that you would own a caravan
Land belongs to parents

Yes, it could be split in two and craned away, if anyone would buy it.

Do your local council know your wife is disabled, OP? Here, that is a huge factor in moving up the housing list. Not sure if all local authorities are the same, though.

Whats stopping you from just parking in front of your mobile home? You have a footprint for a "garden" can you not turn this into parking spaces?

Is it an option to look for a plot of land elsewhere and move the mobile home?

The in-laws houses!

Is the layby, which is now a garden, private land or council road?

Why not rent out your home and rent somewhere else closer to work and away from family ?

Private. Belongs to brother in law

Her father's a builder and has a fair bit of land. On that land he built us a log cabin.

So her own father shafted her on the cost of the cabin as well?

So I have to call my wife, wake her or disturb her to move her car somewhere else that the family will ruefully accept so as I can park. I hate doing this but there's nothing else I can do.

Could you move your wife's car yourself, to save her having to get out of bed?

Yup. Notorious dodgy builder and bad debtor. I now know.

Where do I put my car whilst I'm doing this? We're on a dodgy bend. I 'll endeavour to upload a picture after work tomorrow. And putting wife's car down the driveway would surely cause an argument.
