London is thought for its ruthless rental market, but this particular ‘property’ will come as particularly depressing news for those attempting to secure a house within the capital.
A dated caravan, meant for touring holidays, that is parked in a home-owner’s garden in Barnet, in North London, is currently being advertised to renters for a whopping £790 per 30 days.
Described within the property advert as ‘a self-contained garden studio flat’, the caravan comes with a studio-style bedroom and kitchen, with a washer perched right next to the bed.
The £790 monthly price tag is £266 greater than the typical UK rental price – of £524 – and equal to the London average of £794, in line with rental website SpareRoom.

To purchase a caravan of an analogous age outright on ebay, you’d pay around £2,000 – just two-and-a-half months’ rent for the rental being advertised.
The property, on Beechcroft Avenue, is advertised as ‘cute and available in the center of Golders Green’ and ‘ideal for a single working skilled’ – and it’s significantly cheaper than the typical Barnet rental, which is just shy of £2,000 a month, in line with estate agent Foxtons.
Inside, a foldaway double bed – which becomes a seating area – is crammed into one end of the normal caravan, with a washer installed directly next to it.
While the kitchen may need every little thing you would like, there is a compact oven with a hob on top, a small sink and a fridge, the very bijou space might get quickly get wearing.
Wrapped above the kitchen and bed is cupboard space via a series of cabinets, which anyone living here could make use of, given the shortage of wardrobe or drawers.
