sorted byInstructions are pretty limited, and there's a reasonable amount of carpentry required on site (lots of the wood comes uncut, so there's quite a lot of scope to alter the building to your taste, if desired)
The main problems we had were that they didn't actually supply enough cladding for the building, and so we had to wait an extra 2 weeks for another shipment of wood to come out in order to finish it off and get the roof on... Having said that, the aftercare team were great and sent out the required information and extra wood promptly without question.
All in all, it was pretty good, but I'm not sure i'd want to spend £70k with them... too many areas where things could go wrong! (mine was a small 2.5x4m insulated garden office)
If you have the land to put on then for £70 grand you could build a traditional house on it!
With materials increased in price + labour would be over £200,000 now? (edited)

"Great price. A 20' x 8' fully fitted container home suitable for temporary accommodation can be bought for £17,050 (includes VAT). A 40' x 12' permanent dwelling fully compliant with building regulations comes in at an amazing £49,950 (includes VAT). Prices and Sizes"
Or you could buy second hand containers around £3 grand each and convert them yourself and join together modular fashion for above accommodation or to the side .
This is a nice to have for someone with a big enough estate to have it as a guest house.
If you just happen to have £70k, a plot of land, planning permission, £x thousand for all the other necessary work, the valuable skillset to build it (or £x thousand more for that), then I think you probably won't be 'struggling' to get on the property ladder the normal way!
I would love to hear if anyone actually buys one of these as a result of this listing
Good value as a garden building though, if you can get planning consent.
And for any dreamers out there saying you can do a traditional house for less, have you seen the price of materials and labour nowadays?
I see this more like what it is , a Log Cabin as a 2nd house for letting or holiday house or temp house or someone who has some land ( or money for land )and wants to build a site with similar properties as an investment ......not for those with tight budgets.
The most who will benefit out of this are the ppl who own land in expensive areas , if the land is on lower side, like i said , you can buy a already proper build house
Also the labor is a major problem , on their site seems to be something like 25k. For those willing to do it themselves , what is the amount of hours of work you have to put in... you have to fit the labor in your life routine.....most likely interfering with your job. And for those who dont have a job and have at 100k at disposal , this looks like a hobby.

That's a very major expense every year!!!
Its a brave company that offers a 10 year warranty on a building that apart from the bearers, is untreated spruce, a wood that has poor rot resistance.
Problem solved
