BUYING a house can be expensive and seem like a long-off goal.
However, the solution to the problem could lie on Amazon, which is selling a tiny home for just £7,000.
The small dwelling is listed as a “luxury granny flat” and comes with two separate rooms that can be used as living spaces.
Costing £7,674.22, it can be delivered within less than a month from the online retailer.
In the model, they showed how they had configured the 20ft home to be a bedroom and a lounge space.
However, they stated there are customisable options available if you want extra rooms, and you can contact the supplier to tailor it to you.
Thankfully the home seems easy to construct and they claim it takes between minutes before it is ready to move in.
And it only needs two to three people to assemble, with no foundations necessary.
Not only could it be used for a granny flat, an extra bedroom or an office space, but it could also be a money-earner too, if you rented it out.
It’s important to note that it doesn’t come with a bathroom or kitchen area – and these would have to be added.
The description states it is “a practical and economical option for construction sites, remote work camps, disaster relief efforts, and even tourism accommodations.”
It is constructed from “lightweight yet robust materials” and claims to have “exceptional durability.”

In fact, the fire safety-rated home is touted as being able to withstand earthquakes and strong winds.

One thing to note is it’s not easy to move the home without proper transportation as it weighs 6,610 pounds.
However, it could prove to be the perfect solution for those struggling to get on the property ladder or looking for extra space for visiting family.
Tiny homes have boomed in popularity over the past decade, mainly down to affordability and sustainability reasons, and the desire for minimalist living.
Millennials and Generation X are the primary adopters of tiny homes, with the majority of tiny home dwellers being between 30 and 50 years old.
