It is clear why after the last real estate bubble people are rather reluctant to apply for a mortgage; the image of the foreclosure signs all along the highway cannot be dismissed from their minds, it remains imprinted there together with the stories reported all over the news on the TV or in the newspapers about families with kids crammed in a room or living outdoors after the bank seized their houses because they were not able to pay back their credits. In such a context, if you require additional living space and your house is yours, the optimal manner to use your money is to buy a garden studio that can be erected in no time on any spot you choose in your garden or backyard. It is hard to believe you won’t find some 13-15 sq m available!<\/p>\n
The planning rules usually don’t apply to such small structures. This is not a house extension but a structure limited in area and with a roof some 2.5 meters above the ground.<\/p>\n
Any judicious investor would ask next if it could afford what is interested in. Well, you don’t need more than 12,500 -13,000 for a garden studio ready to be used and as solid and functional as your house. For such a price, the only space alternative would be to rent some place, but your money would last just one or two years, while this structure will be yours and last for decades! It is not hard to see what alternative a judicious investor would opt for. <\/p>\n
Plot, planning and price having been approached, perhaps you are not sure about the functionality and durability of your prospective acquisition. As regards purchases, people usually direct themselves by the quality\/price ratio, so could not understand how they could get something really good really cheap. And even more so a small house including all that is needed! There are bargains in this world, but no wonders.<\/p>\n
This low price has another explanation than what you fear. Garden studios are products of advanced building technologies and materials, but to the extent these became mass products they became cheaper. Everyone knows that technology is in a permanent development. Just think about the high-tech gadgets your kids would like to get a few years ago, and you couldn’t afford, and now are laughably cheap. So you should have no fears that your investment in a garden studio would be misplaced.<\/p>\n
