A couple say their mortgage-free, low-cost tiny home has allowed them to take risks.
While most households face a difficult time managing energy bills and rising mortgage payments, the couple say they will be able to take a financial risk and start a forest school.
Together they built the house for about £18,000, spending another £8,000 on setting up their solar energy system and a final £4,000 on yard space, moving the home across country and siting it here.Tom Morgan and Amie Simons built their tiny home for a fraction of the cost of a normal one"We've basically built this for the price that most people would put down on a deposit for a house," said Tom.
The couple don't have typical monthly energy bills, instead spending about £200-£300 per year on gas to run their cooker and heat water, and around £100 a month to rent the space. They plan to heat the house in the winter using a log burner, but said cooking in the evening seems to be enough to keep the well-insulated, small space warm.Tom and Amie say their tiny house has the benefit of tiny monthly outgoings as wellThe movement is significantly larger abroad, withTom and Amie, who've left jobs in the charity sector, said the decision to build their own small home and start a new life was a necessity, both financially and environmentally.
