But budding owners have turned to other solutions to avoid a hefty mortgage hanging over their heads.
A 20x8ft shipping container has been converted into a one bedroom home – complete with kitchen and bathroom.
The property is on sale on Ebay for £29,995 and has been manufactured by Cabin Depot based near Chichester.
This perfect little hideaway incorporates a cosy bedroom, smart and modern bathroom and an open plan living, kitchen and dining space.
It also boats a fully-insulated “floating floor” to keep residents tasty warm, along with lined doors.
The home is also fully wired, with eight down lights, six double plug sockets, three dimmable light switches, two extractor fans, one mirror socket, one external light, one external double socket and all TV and wifi fittings.
And plumbing won’t be a problem either, with the kitchen and bathroom fully connected.
The listing adds: “Fully installed white kitchenette with basin, tap, under counter storage units, oak worktop, water heater and two zone electric induction hob.
“Full bathroom install to include electric shower, shower cubicle with bi-folding door, vanity basin unit with tap, wall mounted LED mirror and toilet facilities.
“Fully installed white UPVC 1600mm French doors, fully installed white UPVC 900x900mm window.
“Light oak style laminate flooring installed throughout with flooring underlay.
“Sealing of the original shipping container doors.”
It’s not the only tiny home up for sale.
A £10,000 house us up for grabs on Amazon, with a double bedroom with enough space to also fit a desk, as well as an en-suite bathroom and an open-plan kitchen dining area.
The item is described as a “Tiny Modern Villa”, weighing just 5,600 lbs and measuring 8ft in height, 19ft in length and 20ft in width.
Made from stainless steel and flame-retardant foam wallboard, the container house is easy to transport and assemble thanks to its design, as reported by What’sTheJam.
It’s also waterproof and thermally insulated, with the exterior able to withstand up to 70mph winds.
