A home builder believes he may have the solution to the housing crisis – an amazing tiny property built on wheels on sale for £50,000.
The unique property sits on a five-wheeled trailer with a wooden frame and metal exterior and has everything a regular home would.
Inside it has a fully-functioning bathroom, two bedrooms, fully-wired electrics, living room and kitchen.
Because it is mounted on a trailer it can be towed anywhere.

Electrician Chris Metcalf spent more than a year building the home, which is advertised on Rightmove.
He said: "I think it’s a really cool idea. There’s a shortage of properties in the South West at the moment.
''Families who might want extra accommodation, but don’t want to or can’t buy a bigger house or move home – this would be ideal.''
