Tiny Home Seller Checklist

Run through this before paying any deposit. Two or more red flags? Walk away.

Red Flags

  • No warehouse or showroom

    Business exists only online. Nowhere to visit.

  • No trademark or trading history

    Recently renamed, or under two years old with no track record.

  • Vague on compliance

    "You won't need consent" or evasive on council requirements.

  • Stock photos, not real builds

    Marketing images are renders or supplier catalogue shots, not homes they've actually delivered.

  • No verifiable customer reviews

    No Google or Facebook reviews — or a handful of suspiciously perfect ones posted days apart.

  • High-pressure sales tactics

    "This price only valid this week," limited-time discounts that reset, or pressure to sign before reading the contract.

What to Look For

  • A real warehouse you can visit

    Permanent staff, builds in progress, a long-standing address.

  • Transparent financial protocols

    Clear answers on how your funds are handled and protected.

  • Registered trademark and history

    Established name with verifiable reviews going back years.

  • Direct, written compliance answers

    Specific guidance on consent, code, and site requirements.

  • A warranty that survives

    Backed by a company with the infrastructure to honour it.
