MOBILE LIVING

We learnt that our friends house Steve and Sharon their cottage at Flockton  is up for sale , straight away we guessed that something was up and it was  they have split up , he had been living a double life and had been cheating on Sharon for the last couple of years he as left the cottage and moved in to her terrace house in Sunderland , it is a women he works with and of course seeing they both have a equal claim to the house and it has 100k equity then legally  it will be split 50/50.

At the back of the cottage is a mobile static home park she has ordered a plot of land with gas water and electric supply for £10,000 after this she will get her brand new 38 foot by 12 foot mobile home put on the prepared site , then all you pay then is £65 a month ground rent , council tax and bills , we actually went to see three different homes on there the people living on site did not mind us looking round their homes and  of course each one was different from the last  , but all had what we would need a kitchen , bathroom ,  living room and bedroom , a big plus would be decking around the end and side with a awning to pull out and  their  be plenty of room for patio furniture table and chairs and  a barbecue along with planters and tubs.

At one time Helen would not have considered this when i mentioned it now she seems to be more inclined so who knows we would have loads of extra cash per month form our wages but would have less money left from the sale of our house if any.

 Pluses would be Pip our dog would be sorted it be cheap maintenance it would not cost much to furnish and  we could change the layout inside easier enough removing and repositioning the walls and  to fit a new kitchen and bathroom would be cheap too .
 To re-clad the exterior would be cheap and to put a pitched  roof on would keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
