Summary

A London couple ditched renting for a £40k houseboat, slashing monthly bills to just £75 and slashing annual maintenance to £3k–£5k. Equipped with a kitchen, shower, and workspace, their floating home feels surprisingly luxurious—until you factor in the headaches: biweekly moves, maintenance nightmares, and looming Canal & River Trust fees that could make their dream unaffordable by 2028.
