Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to help you decide if this is right for you.

General

  • How do I place an order with Live Off Grid?

    Click Get Started, answer a few key questions, and our team will guide you from there.

    We’ll:

    1. Review your land and goals
    2. Recommend suitable models
    3. Provide pricing and timescales
    4. Secure your production slot with a deposit
  • What payment options are available?

    We use a simple, structured payment process:

    • Initial deposit to secure your design and production slot
    • Stage payments during build
    • Final balance before delivery

    Finance can be arranged depending on model and requirements. Your consultant will break it down after your enquiry.

  • Can I get a mortgage or finance for an off-grid home?

    Traditional mortgages usually require a permanent dwelling with full planning permission.

    For cabins, tiny homes, and container units, customers typically get finance through:

    • Specialist modular-home lenders
    • Business asset finance (common for hosts/investors)
    • Personal loans
    • Company purchases (Ltd companies buying accommodation assets)

    We can provide the drawings and documentation lenders need. Use Get Started across the website and we’ll guide you through the best route based on your chosen model and intended use.

  • Can I see one of your cabins before buying?

    Sure, subject to availability – visits may be available by appointment. Options include:

    • Visiting our production partner (availability varies)
    • Online Virtual Tours on our website
    • Booking a stay in a cabin here – Stay Off Grid

    This is the best way to understand the space and quality of each model.

  • What kind of warranty do your cabins come with?

    Our homes include:

    • 5-year structural warranty
    • 12–24 months on fixtures and systems
    • Solar/battery warranties of 5–10 years depending on manufacturer

    This covers the core structure and components of your build.

  • What are your current lead times and how do production slots work?

    Typical lead times are 12 – 16 weeks depending on model and capacity.

    A deposit secures your production slot, and delivery is scheduled after specification sign-off.

  • Are your homes compliant with UK building regulations?

    Yes, depending on classification:

    • Permanent homes meet full UK Building Regulations
    • Movable or temporary units comply with the Caravan Sites Act

    We’ll advise based on your land, permissions, and intended use.

  • How much does it cost to set up a cabin off-grid?

    Total off-grid projects typically range from £35,000 through £120,000+, depending on:

    • Cabin model & spec
    • Solar + battery capacity
    • Water & waste systems
    • Delivery access
    • Groundworks/foundations

    Click Get Started for an exact breakdown based on your land.

  • Can I buy a cabin before securing land?

    You can reserve your build slot and begin the design process, but we strongly recommend having land secured before placing a full order.

    Here’s how it works in practice:

    • You can pay a deposit to reserve a production slot while you finalise land.
    • We can start design work, layouts, and specification planning.
    • Full production cannot begin until you’ve confirmed a delivery address and access suitability.
    • We do not offer long-term storage, so delivery must be possible once the cabin is complete.
  • How long are your quotes valid and what affects final pricing?

    Quotes are valid for 30 days.

    Pricing may change due to:

    • Specification updates
    • Added systems (solar, water, waste)
    • Delivery complexity
    • Material price changes
    • Access restrictions or groundworks
  • Do you help with finance applications and lender documentation?

    Sure, we can provide:

    • Floor plans
    • Technical specifications
    • Invoices
    • Build details
    • Certification
    • Supplier documentation for systems (solar, batteries, etc.)

    This makes the finance process much smoother.

  • Can I cancel or change my order after paying a deposit?

    Design changes are possible before production begins, but deposits and certain costs are non-refundable.

    To keep everything clear and fair:

    • Your initial deposit secures your build slot and covers design work – this is non-refundable.
    • Specification changes can be made up until materials are ordered.
    • Once production or material procurement has started, changes may:
      • incur variation fees,
      • extend lead times,
      • or in some cases be unavailable.
    • Cancellations after materials are committed or production begins are generally not refundable due to manufacturing costs.

    We always walk you through your design thoroughly before sign-off to avoid surprises. If you’re unsure about anything, let us know before we lock in your production slot.

  • Will I pay Council Tax or Business Rates on my cabin?

    It depends on your use:

    • Full-time residence – usually Council Tax
    • Holiday let – often Business Rates
    • Temporary/mobile use – may be exempt

    You should always consult your local council who can confirm based on your land and usage.

  • Do I need insurance for my off-grid home?

    Yes, your cabin should be insured like any modern modular home. You may need:

    • Buildings/structural insurance
    • Contents cover
    • Holiday-let insurance (if renting your cabin)

    We can recommend off-grid-friendly insurers who understand cabin and modular builds.

  • Do I need separate contents insurance in addition to the structure?

    Yes, building/structural insurance only covers the cabin.

    If you want protection for your belongings or furnishings, you’ll need contents insurance too.

  • Is my warranty transferable if I sell the cabin?

    Yes, structural warranties are transferable to the new owner.

    Simply inform us so we can update the documentation.

  • What kind of aftercare do you provider?

    We support you long after delivery with:

    • System support & guidance
    • Maintenance help
    • Warranty assistance
    • Replacement parts
    • Upgrade options

    Every cabin comes with an owner’s handbook for daily care and troubleshooting.

  • Do you offer design consultations?

    Yes, every enquiry includes a free design consultation.

    We help you refine:

    • Layout
    • Finishes
    • Systems
    • Budget

    This ensures we quote accurately and build exactly what you need.

  • What’s included in the base price of a cabin?

    The base price includes:

    • Fully insulated structural shell
    • Interior layout, flooring, and finishes
    • Fitted kitchen and bathroom
    • Heating provision
    • Electrical system and lighting
    • Off-grid-ready wiring for solar, batteries, and water systems

    Optional extras include off-grid systems, furnishings, delivery, and foundations.

  • What is the resale value of an off-grid property?

    High-quality modular and container homes hold value well due to their durability and steel structure. Resale value might depend on:

    • Land ownership
    • Planning status
    • Specification & condition
    • Whether off-grid systems are included

    Our homes typically retain strong resale value when maintained properly.
