The cost of a prefabricated micro home designed to shake up the UK property market has left readers astonished and infuriated in this week's comments update.
Overpriced: readers made it clear that the £150,000 price tag on Kodasema's 25-square-metre micro home was a major hurdle in its bid to ease the UK's housing crisis.
Carl Kruse appreciated the design but not the cost: "Love what Kodasema are doing but it's not entirely cheap for what it is."
"It's extortionately over-priced, to be blunt," added a less-than-impressed Leigh Hughes.
Onlineo suggested that British homeowners were being fleeced. "I can buy a prefab from Poland for around £1,000 per square metre or £2,000 to 3,000 from Germany."
"£150,000 for that thing is a fraud!" added an incredulous Jack mclathass. "Maybe the comma is one digit out of place," joked Concerned Citizen.
Dariusz Boron believed politicians should be doing more to solve the issue. "Government policy should be drastically changed so affordable, non-luxury, non-investment homes are created for people. I don't see these tiny cabins as a viable option to live an enjoyable existence, rather just surviving."
One reader proposed an alternative:

Is £150,000 a fair price for a micro home in the current economic climate" Have your say in the comments section ?
