The housing crisis in Portugal, especially in large cities, has led many to explore innovative alternatives. Among the less conventional options, modular homes stand out as a practical and affordable solution. And surprisingly, these homes can now be purchased online, directly from Amazon.
Modular homes: a viable alternative?
Modular homes are prefabricated structures, built in modules that are later transported and assembled in the desired location. This construction model has gained popularity due to its speed and efficiency. With construction times ranging between 3 and 6 months, these houses can offer a cost reduction compared to traditional construction, as explained by .
Amazon, on its Spanish platform, offers several models of modular homes starting at 9,600 euros. These include basic options with 1 to 3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Additionally, they feature features such as steel structures, thermal insulation, double glazing, smart locks and LED lighting. The estimated durability exceeds 50 years, provided that adequate maintenance is carried out.
Advantages and limitations
Although the idea of purchasing a modular home through Amazon seems attractive, it is essential to consider some limitations. This type of housing cannot be installed on any land, as it must comply with legal and urban planning requirements. Additionally, additional costs related to transportation, installation and licenses may arise.
For those looking for a quick and relatively affordable solution, these houses can represent an interesting alternative. However, before proceeding, it is recommended to investigate local regulations and calculate all costs involved.
