I'd love to buy a piece of land and drop one of those shipping container homes on it.
Each 40 foot container fully fitted (basic build) costs 9 grand.
2 bedrooms (1st container), sitting room, kitchen (2nd container), and a bathroom come utility room (Last container) = £27,000
All welded together and sitting on a concrete pad.
Add water, a septic tank, electricity and away you go.
As seen in New Zealand, the US, and many other 'civilised' countries.

Problem as always would be the local planning department and their civil servant pussy's. THey even get excited about youngsters living in a garden shed or garage whilst they save up to buy a house.
I really hate this place.

And that's precisely why I loath the government in all it's forms.

These look like static mobile homes? Great idea but as already pointed out don't just think you can drop it on to land you own!!! When did we get so fenced in and bound up with red tape? And why? It gives me the hump!
