The pandemic and the possibility of teleworking have made many people consider the option of returning to the town or to the rural environmentwhich has caused in parallel an increase in the price of houses in many small municipalities.
However, this has also increased interest in prefabricated houses, an option on the rise that promises to be cheaper and faster to build.
However, many people already have rural land from family inheritances and wonder if they could use them to install one of these prefabricated houses in it.
The quick answer is no in most cases, although there are some exceptions.
In what cases can a prefabricated house be installed
A prefabricated house on undeveloped or rustic land it continues to be a dwelling and, therefore, cannot be raised. “The construction of a house on undeveloped land enjoys identical urban conditions whether it is a traditional or prefabricated construction,” explains the search engine for prefabricated houses FacilHouse on his blog. “The urban restrictions of rural land are regarding the ‘use’ of the house that is intended to be established, and not regarding its construction system,” they add.
The only possibility left is that it is a mobile prefab. A house that is not anchored to the ground and is self-sufficient on its own, without connection to water or electricity supplies. “This type of house can circumvent urban planning regulations, since they can be implemented without service connections,” they explain.
There is always the possibility that the local council can investigate the situation. After all, it would be a case similar to that of a caravan fixed in a space. With the law in hand, rural land is not suitable for installing a home, but each municipality then has its particularities.
