If you’re struggling to get on the housing ladder, Amazon may have a solution for you – but one man realised there’s a huge issue with the ‘foldable’ home you can order online
You can buy pretty much anything on Amazon – and now you can even order a whole ‘foldable’ home.
We all know how difficult it is to get onto the propety ladder these days, and the online giant’s quirky solution means you can nab a fully fledged properly for just over £20,000. With the average house costing around £288,000 in the UK, it seems like a complete bargain if you’re brave enough to order it. But one influencer who decided to impulsively buy an Amazon prefab house has found out there is a huge issue with his humble abode.
Content creator @hittaa_jeff bought the house on a whim but has now been put off living there. Despite it being fully kitted out with home appliances, a bathroom – and even two sets of sofas and coffee table, he couldn’t stand up in it.
In a baffling TikTok video, the man said: “I am 23 years old and I just bought a house off Amazon,” he said, adding: “Take the card away, I just bought a f**** house on Amazon.” He then showed the inside of the property, which looks pretty impressive at first glance, but he soon realised he could touch the ceilings. The TikToker explained that he is 5″8 – below the average height for a male in the UK and US – so noted this would be a major problem for taller people.
He explained: “I am not going to live here, I’m actually going to Airbnb it because as I said in a previous video, the ceilings are very small [low].” He detailed that the home is good to go, and he was just waiting on permits to rent it out, as well as planning on giving it a little makeover as he wasn’t “a fan” of the furniture provided.
People were quick to comment on the hilarious video, as one TikToker jibed: “Imagine having to return your house,” as another added: “I’m about to order one for my two boys they gotta get out ASAP.”
