Kiwis are increasingly searching for kitset and transportable homes on Trade Me. These versatile spaces are popular as extra accommodation for whānau, home offices, or backyard studios, offering a solution to the housing shortage.

Options range from affordable SheShed DIY kits to premium Fraemohs Homes and luxury Flexicube container homes, with prices from $10k to over $200k.

Remember to check council consent requirements, especially for structures over 30m² or those with plumbing, before you buy.
