£750 van = rent free home

£750 van = rent free home

Jamie Waddington, cancelled his £800-a-month rental property and purchased a LDV Convoy van.

Then converted it with his Dad to include:

  • Skylight
  • Shelving
  • Working kitchen
  • Fold out bed
  • Rustic wooden interior
  • Carved handles
  • Fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide detector.

Jamie, 25, from Leeds also works for farmers in exchange for food/drink whilst only spending £10-a-week on other essentials.

‘I could make the van exactly how I wanted it and it is better than a house-share with people I don’t get on with know well,’ he said.

‘I’ve always been an outdoor person but I realised this would give me the freedom I wanted in my life.

‘I’ve had offers from people all over Europe for jobs and places to pitch up so should be easy to make my way about with little expenditure, doing it as long as I want.’

‘I will do it until I run out of money or I get bored, but I spend very little so it is more likely to be the latter that would stop me.’

Important things to remember with everything we post:

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
