Planning Permission for Mobile Homes
One of the biggest advantages of a mobile home is how it sits within planning rules. Provided it’s positioned in the garden and remains ancillary to the main residence, full planning permission usually isn’t required, a Certificate of Lawfulness is typically enough, and this comes through considerably faster than a standard application. Council tax on the mobile home is also cut by at least half (or waived entirely if the occupant is disabled), with VAT zero-rated on the build.
Timberspecs takes it from there. Free site visits and free drawings are included, alongside a complete turn-key service covering kitchens, bathrooms and heating, so you’re not left coordinating separate trades or contractors yourself.
Mobile homes start from £68,000, and with 30 years’ experience helping UK families create multi-generational and full-time living spaces, we’re with you from that first enquiry right through to the day you move in.
