Flat pack houses at Argos!

Apparently these are nothing new. I've never seen them before though.
£13k for a 5 bedroomed log cabin, lol.

Thats 13K for a 5 roomed cabin, not 5 bedrooms. Not available in store or for home delivery though? How do you buy them then?

That's what I meant anyway.

They're not available because they're out of stock?

I guess so, yeah.
Buy land, build it on your own land, get planning permission etc.
IKEA do them as well, I believe.

Re: Flat pack houses at Argos!

I'd rather move out the country, buy an old building for £10,000 and do it up.
Property is much cheaper abroad so one day that is what I intend to do.

Re: Flat pack houses at Argos!

I was flicking channels the other week and came across someone who did get their house flat packed from Scandinavia in one of those many programs about other peoples houses.Seemed quite nice and value for money.The only thing is that they mentioned that all wooden houses are difficult to insure.
