‘The best part is that we have more access to open spaces outside, we’re surrounded by greenery so we always feel like we’re outside.’ 🚐

while their friends jumped on the property ladder, couple Joe Carter and Ruby Gove, both 28, decided to do something a bit different.

‘All our friends were starting to buy their own houses, but we had no idea where we wanted to settle down. Rather than scrimping and scrounging in the hopes of having enough for a house deposit, the duo from Farnborough, Hampshire, bought a used van they found on Facebook Marketplace for just £5,000. The makeover took a lot of time, money , and effort, but it’s oh so worth it – especially because the couple now save over £730 a month on bills and rent.‘It was quite daunting moving into such a small space but it’s awesome – we work from home in the van but it’s like a little holiday every day,’ Joe said.‘It was such a new process for the both of us – we had no idea what we were doing.
