1. Make sure your property is suitable for an off-grid lifestyle

Whether you’re buying a new house or adapting your existing home, you need to consider the type, size, and location of the property. All of these factors will determine whether going off-grid is accomplishable.

The size and type of property

Put simply: the bigger the house, the bigger the bills. Therefore, sourcing your own energy will be more achievable if you have a smaller property. Many people that consider living off-grid opt for the simple life, floating around canals on a quaint houseboat. Although canal boats themselves aren’t cheap, you can easily make your money back by sourcing your energy from roof-installed solar panels. Of course, canal boats aren’t the only option you can go for – bungalows and motor homes are also smaller properties that you could consider. So if you’re going off-grid, make sure you pick a suitable-sized property.

Location of your property

Although it’s possible to live off the grid both in residential and rural areas, sourcing your own energy is more viable in rural locations. Rural areas are much more suitable for off-grid homes for two good reasons: You have more room for renewables – No matter where it’s going, green tech – such as solar panels, wind turbines, and generators – will need a lot of space to be effective No complaints from neighbours – If you have either a wind turbine or generators in a residential area, you might have to deal with a stream of noise complaints

Where are the best places in the UK to go off-grid?

We are lucky enough to have fields upon fields of countryside in the UK, which means there are a lot of great places you can set up your off-grid camp. The best area for your new home will depend on which energy source you choose. For example, if you’re considering solar power, you’ll be better off in the south of England; for wind power, Scotland will be your best bet (or anywhere near the coast).

The phrase planning permission can strike fear into the most experienced property developers but with a lodge planning permission, things are a lot more straightforward. If the land you are planning on siting the lodge already has an existing habitable building, you do not need full planning permission but will require a certificate of lawfulness. These can be applied for online and are straight forward to complete. Once you have the certificate, you are ready to go and can start planning the design and installation of your new lodge. There are some restrictions in place with regards to the certificate of lawfulness.

You may not charge rent for people living in the lodge

People living in the lodge must have full access to the other property on the premises

You may not run a business out of the lodge

If you are looking to site the lodge in an official area of outstanding natural beauty or a national park you will need to apply for full planning permission. If the piece of land you have does not have any buildings on it you will also have to apply for full planning permission. To assist any planning applications, we can provide drawings, floorplans and elevations. We will also be able to make any modifications required by the planning authorities.
