Booths Garden Annexes have created a helpful video explaining how their granny annexe buildings comply with the Caravan Act. In the video, they outline what the Caravan Act is and how it can apply to the type of self-contained homes many families are now choosing to build in their gardens for a relative to live in.
The video explains that for a building to qualify under the Caravan Act, it must be used by a family member rather than rented or used for business purposes. It also highlights the rules on size and mobility, showing that to be classed as a mobile home, the annexe must fall within certain dimensional limits and be capable of being moved in sections.
Booths Garden Annexes design their buildings to meet these requirements while still providing the comfort of a well-insulated home. Their construction system allows for spacious, well-specified interiors that offer year-round comfort while meeting the criteria that define a lawful mobile home.
Booths have a dedicated garden annexe website and regularly publish videos on their YouTube channel, looking at different aspects of their designs—from interior layouts to planning and installation. It’s well worth keeping an eye on if you’re researching options for a garden annexe for a relative.
