“I got a gym membership for £23 a month with 24-hour access to hot showers and toilets'

A man has ditched his 'shoebox' flat and is now living out of his car after being 'sick' of paying extortionate rent in the cost of living crisis. Yavor Dantzarov, 33, was renting a tiny flat in south London for £600 a month before he decided to convert his Ford Fiesta into a home.

Yavor, who has already visited more than 70 places across the south of England in his camper-car, told PA Real Life: “I’m a driver in my soul… I just like to drive and be on the road. No more houses for me, I’m finished with that. For me, having four walls around you is like a prison and you have to pay for this – no thank you.”

“I spent four days, all day and almost all night and I have been living in it ever since,” said Yavor. "I took everything out, removed the seats and built a simple wooden frame to level the floor.” Yavor put insulation in to keep warm during the winter and installed an extractor fan. So far, Yavor has visited more than 70 places across the UK, all of which he plots on his Google map. “When you see my map it looks like an Amazon delivery driver,” he said.

“I have put a lot of things in that are not necessary,” he said. “But the actual build is not very expensive – less than £1,000.” Yavor works as an HGV driver for an agency which gives him the flexibility to line up jobs in different places, most recently in Croydon.
