A quick Google finds 40' x 9' x 8' wind-proof and waterproof shipping containers for between £1,800 and up to £3,500 used once, nearly new ones. Delivery extra.

Interesting....

Its that delivery cost that will send the price through the roof, lorries and cranes are not cheap and would get more expensive the more miles they have to travel,... now if I could only find a refrigeration lorry,..Smile

£75 quid a week?! i could rent a house round here for that!


RE: shipping container homes(in London) - bigpaul - 13 April 2013

for reference purposes, the one i was looking at in north Devon went for £970 plus of course the delivery=whatever that costs.
