Micro Houses, are with out doubt the way forward in affordable living. In the not so distant future the UK Government will allow first time buyers as the Swedish Government has allowed under the new EU law to build a permanent structure in the garden, not over 25 sq meters in size and not above 4 meters in height.

Also the planning permission for these buildings will not be needed. This then takes the strain from local government to build in green areas, and first time buyers have a chance of owning their own Little place with out having to pay absolutely ridicules rents, to greedy landlords.

We have looked very closely at this new emerging market,  and as always logcabinslv.co.uk has come first into the design arena with very workable, quality, timber frame, Norther Siberian Larch buildings. Highly insulated, and worthy of our brand!

We have decided to build our Micro Houses with the very best of timbers available, all structural timber is C24, the whole Micro House is very Highly Insulated,only the best CE certified Residential Windows and Doors.and built to the Euro 5 code and beyond.

Why have we put so much into such a little building, well! thats a simple one to answer! We want it to have a re-sellable value. Why spend thousands on a timber building if you are going to loose your investment, we are not manufacturers of caravans, we are a house builder firstly, and we believe that all houses be them little or large need to have a re-sellable value.

Our Houses are built to a very , very high standard, and the same applies to our micro houses.

So your investment is safe.
