The interior of a Cosy
Home – compact, yet
very comfortable.
Modern kitchens are
a feature of Cosy
Homes’designs.
And from further afield, too – Cosy Homes has recently
delivered a home to the Chatham Islands.
“For us,” says Alana, “we are now seeing a wide range of
needs for tiny homes across all demographics who now
want to move into one of our homes to reduce mortgage
costs and enjoy a better lifestyle.”
Cosy Homes range in size from 38sqm to 60sqm and
are available with wheels or without wheels, which means
there are different things to consider before deciding.
Homes without wheels require building consent from
the local council, whereas a home on wheels does not
need council permission, providing it complies with the
regulations for a dwelling or minor dwelling in the local
district plan.
Whatever type a buyer wants, finding land on which to
put the tiny home presents a challenge, however, so this
needs to be sorted out first.
As Alana explains: “Many existing dwellings or sections
are able to have a minor dwelling easily located on the
same property, but the local district plan needs to be
checked for zoning and local regulations.”
For tiny homes requiring building consent, Alana says,
the land has to have a geotech report done to confirm if
it is suitable, and what further ground works needs to be
undertaken to support the Cosy Home.
