Yet a MAC Home is built to last a lifetime: - a long one. How long?... put it this way: your MAC home will probably outlive all of us
AND THAT'S NOT ALL. IF YOU ALREADY OWN THE PLOT YOU MAY NOT EVEN NEED PLANNING PERMISSION
Despite comfortably outlasting most people, a MAC Container Home often doesn't count as a permanent building. Strange but very useful.
If you don't yet have a plot, here are a few tips on finding one:
- Approach anyone who might sell or lease you part of their large garden
- Look for unused backland or garage plots
- Explore derelict buildings due for demolition
- Head into the countryside or to the coast
- Opt for a Serviced Plot - land conforming to the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015. This will be ready to build on from Day One - but inevitably, it will cost more than a plot that needs the usual paperwork
- Green Field. Strike up a relationship with a farmer
- Brown Field. Speak to Local Authorities. They may well greet you with open arms
"What about a mortgage?"
An increasing number of companies are happy to finance MAC Container Homes. They have the sense to understand how well they stack up to most traditional homes. Just check online.
