    According to the figures they quote it has a 27% annual yield at the guide price.

    If it is all legal (regs, etc) then it could be quite attractive.

    And the front step - a brilliant touch that they've painted the pallet blue.

    I doubt they even bothered to do that - some company's pallets are blue anyway.

    As for no internal pics - doesn't everyone already know what a load of junk and a few spider's webs look like?

    There's a tenant already living there. It would be interesting to see what facilities there are.

    I think the latest trend of beds in sheds, garages, sheds and tents in living rooms, etc, is starting to make parts of the UK look like shanty towns.
    Unfortunately, people are desperate for a roof over their head so take what they can get and these landlords often get away with it. With large property portfolios, they live very comfortably whilst profiting from people's misery.

    I don't have a problem with small space living, per se, but they need to be decent and well designed. There's quite a large Tiny House movement in the States and the homes are really nice. They're ideal for singles and couples and I think they could be a very good solution to some of the housing crisis here.
  • Blue pallets are the ones that are only rented out - you're meant to return them. So their designer doorstep is, essentially, nicked. Classy stuff!
