how much did my abandoned tiny house cost đĄ #tinyhouse #renovation #homedecor
How much did my abandoned tiny house cost, and is it on Airbnb are the two questions Iâve been getting asked the most, so here are the answers.
The house cost me ÂŁ55,386.
The renovation work was ÂŁ62,708.
The kitchen, windows, doors, and furniture was ÂŁ19,462.
Solicitor and admin costs were ÂŁ11,968.
And to get water and sewage connected, it was ÂŁ8,319.
Hereâs the broken down costs if you want to pause.
Overall, it cost me ÂŁ157,844, but the house has since been valued at offers over ÂŁ170,000 which is crazy, but itâs a unique property in an expensive area.
The second question people had was, is it on Airbnb?
The people of TikTok were annoyed at me for this, but it is on Airbnb.
I did live in the tiny house for two years, then moved out and started renovating another old building which I now live in, and the Airbnb helped fund that renovation. I was also able to hire my Mum to manage the Airbnb so thatâs been nice.
Iâve found that people get divided about it being on Airbnb with some people calling me a knobhead and saying I should sell it because thereâs a lack of affordable homes, and then other people saying itâs not really an affordable home, and that because I took a risk on the abandoned building, I can choose what to do with it. I understand both viewpoints. So, leave your votes below on whether or not you think Iâm a knobhead.
