The modern world is full of everyday stresses. Endless negative news updates day in and day out, followed by the neverending pings on our phones from social media can lead to people forgetting to live life their way. Around 83.65% of the UK’s population live in urban areas. These costly, cramped, concrete citiescapes can blind us from the beauty of the world around us. People need to get away from the stress and clutter of modern life and get back to nature. Live Off Grid offers a way for you to do that, to get out into the world, to disconnect from the superficial and discover your potential. Living off grid in the UK is a growing concept. Here, we explain all you need to know.

What Does Living Off the Grid Mean?

Live Off Grid is a term that can mean whatever you want it to. We see it as a way to escape the stress of the modern world and rediscover what’s most important in life. Living off grid in the UK can mean returning yourself to the beauty of the world around us in a sustainable way; living off the land as best you can, and finding freedom.

Living Off Grid has so many amazing benefits for you, such as:

Boosting mental health

Improving physical health

Being better for the environment

Allowing you to become more free

Off Grid living doesn’t have to be what we say. Your version might be different to ours. But, that’s part of what makes the movement so special. Flexibility is the root of life, so if you want to Live Off Grid but want access to Wi-Fi, to water mains, or anything else you might need for your life off grid, it’s completely fine. Live Off Grid is about living comfortably and flexibly. It’s about getting away to better understand yourself, and the world around you.

Is it Legal to Live Off Grid in the UK?

The short answer is yes! Living off grid in the UK is completely legal. Due to their status as a temporary structure, converted shipping containers are generally classed as temporary structures and are exempt from any planning permission. In most situations, you would be able to live off the grid on your land with no issues. There are no laws about people living off the grid in the UK. Getting away from the petty stresses of life is everybody’s right. As long as you’re allowed on the land, there’s nothing stopping you.

Where can I Live off the Grid?

You can live off the grid wherever you have permission. Although there are no overarching requirements, some local authorities may have specific rules around areas of natural beauty. Because of this, you should always double-check before you set up camp. If you’re serious about getting away from the rat-race and embracing nature, you may want to consider looking into purchasing your own plot of land to start your new, sustainable life. Finding affordable land to live off in the UK can be difficult, but not impossible. Get exploring and see what you can discover.

What is the Cost of Living Off Grid in the UK?

A key aspect of living off grid in the UK is to shake off some of society’s biggest pressures. One of these pressures is the need to work every hour available because your job always demands that little bit more from you or because you need to earn more money to live a certain lifestyle. So for many, the ability to stop paying rent which pays off somebody else’s mortgage, to not pay for heat or water, and to say bye-bye to the monthly electricity bill are a huge part of taking the leap to off grid living. Despite living off grid meaning getting off the electrical grid, you don’t have to go without your favourite show on Netflix if you don’t want to. You can have solar panels installed onto your converted shipping container to produce your own electricity. If you produce more than you need, you can sell the excess back to the National Grid. This means that over time, the electrical grid can pay for you to disconnect from it! Living a more natural life also could mean the end of processed food. If your nearest corner shop is a 25 minute hike away, you’re probably going to have to come up with your own solutions. This is why many people living off grid in the UK grow their own vegetables. Not only is this excellent for you, it also helps your wallet. Living off the land wherever you can will save you a great deal of money every year. Live Off Grid’s converted shipping containers are the perfect way to escape from manmade stresses while remaining comfortable and flexible. However, due to the bespoke nature of our containers, there is no set price. Our design team creates your ideal space, so any price is based on what you want.
