Capsule Houses: The Future of Affordable Living

How to Buy a Tiny Home in Europe: Step-by-Step Guide

​

Buying a tiny home in Europe may seem complex at first — different countries, regulations, and delivery logistics. But with the right guidance and a trusted provider like ViewBox Houses, the process is surprisingly straightforward. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to go from dream to delivery.

​

Step 1: Define Your Purpose

​

Are you buying a tiny home to:

• Live full-time?

• Rent it out as an Airbnb?

• Use it seasonally or off-grid? Each use case may require slightly different models, features, and permits.

​

Step 2: Choose Your Model

​

ViewBox offers a wide range of turnkey models, from compact studios (12 sqm) to spacious capsule homes (43 sqm). Consider:

• Do you need a kitchen or full bathroom?

• Is a balcony important?

• How many guests will you host?

 

Step 3: Verify Land and Local Regulations

​

Before ordering, confirm if:

• Your land is approved for residential or temporary housing

• You’ll need a permit (rules vary by country and municipality)

• There are foundation or connection requirements (septic, water, electric)

We recommend contacting your city hall or zoning office early in the process.

​

Step 4: Request a Quote and Delivery Timeline

​

Once you've selected a model and confirmed your location is eligible:

• Contact ViewBox for a custom quote

• Confirm delivery timelines (usually within 60–90 days)

• Understand what’s included: transport, installation, foundation options

 

Step 5: Prepare Your Site

​

ViewBox can help with foundation leveling, utility connections, and optional permits. You’ll need:

• A flat plot of land with access for delivery

• Foundation solution (e.g., bricks, concrete base, or metal frame)

• Access to water and power (optional off-grid options available)

 

Step 6: Delivery and Installation

​

Once your unit arrives:

• Final inspection and placement with crane (if required)

• Connect utilities

• Furnishing (most ViewBox homes come ready-furnished)

You can move in almost immediately — or begin renting it out as a revenue-generating property.
