A 21-year-old woman has revealed she moved into a trailer at the bottom of her parents’ garden as she couldn’t afford to move.
Experienced rescuer Mollie shared a tour of her caravan on TikTok.
She said, “I recently moved to my first homeand I’m working on making it special, let me know what you think so far.”
The caravan looks extremely cozy inside, with a plaid sofa that turns into a fold-out bed and a small desk that she uses to work around the house.
It was lovingly decorated with plants and flowers, with fairy lights hanging on the walls.
It also has an outdoor table and chairs, so Millie can have breakfast in the sun.
Mollie’s caravan probably left a lot of people impressed, as her video shows. posted under the username @theenglishwoodnymph, it went viral, racking up more than 50,000 views.
TikTok users rushed to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “This is amazing!”
A second person said: “Beautiful.”
A third person said: “How cozy.”
A fourth person said: “Beautiful chill retro vibes.”
Living in a caravan in your parents’ garden is a great way to save money to buy a house, whilst maintaining your independence.
As the cost of living crisis continues to grow, more and more adults are fighting to climb the housing ladder and are choosing to live in the family home for longer.
The 2021 census revealed that more than half of people aged 23 and under still live with their parents.
The average house price in the UK was £285,000 in March 2023, and this rises to a staggering £735,254, which is completely unaffordable for many.

The tiny house movement started in the US before gaining popularity in the UK.
What is a tiny house?
Tiny homes are small, fully equipped spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny houses tend to be between 15 and 50 square meters in capacity, are made from sustainable materials, and are easier – and cheaper – to maintain than traditional brick homes.
Are tiny houses legal in UK?
As long as the tiny house does not exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny homes are classified as legal additional living space.
Can you get a mortgage for a tiny house?
The small size and relatively low cost of tiny homes means they are generally not considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are many options for taking out a loan to finance your dreams of a perfect mobile home.
Additionally, research by the Resolution Foundation found that the average first-time buyer deposit has tripled, rising from 5% of the property price in 1989 to 15% in 2019.
This means buyers need to save for much longer and use a higher percentage of their earnings to move up the real estate ladder.
A recent survey by property website Zoopla found that 42% of adults under 40 who don’t already own a home have given up, due to the astronomical cost of buying a property.
