The blue book value of a mobile home is exactly what it sounds like – a numerical value found in a book. Building on the difficult, rugged cliff face was completed in 1963 with a design of hovering horizontal beams and glass which enclosed the major living areas, as a multi-storey structure descending the slope in four levels, from the carport to the rocky bluff over the Pacific.
The shortfall in new affordable homes is likely to fuel householders’ reliance on the private rental market. Ministers last month celebrated increases in overall housebuilding to a rate of more than 200,000 a year, although that remains short of the 250,000-a-year target set in the Conservatives’ 2017 general election manifesto.
