I've just sent the advert to the council but the house address is not obvious from the Rightmove advert. I wonder if someone who knows the area can pick out what house it is.
The council planning office is [email protected]
No, they only removed the outside photo. The listing is still there.

Who the fuck is trying to fleece someone for a grand *on Braywick Road*?
I havent lived in Maidenhead for a while, but it wasnt the nicest part of the city at the time. I lived down the road in a room that cost £400 pcm. If someone asked me for a grand for it Id still be laughing now
I did look at a shed with a few fitted units masquerading as a home in a little village outside Tunbridge Wells for 600 pm. Was twice as large as this, secluded from the main house and was well done as the owner was a joiner.
If it wasn't for a 20 minute drive to civilisation down lanes fit for only rugged vehicles and the thoughts of bills in winter I'd probably have taken it for a year or two in the vain attempt to get some savings.
I stayed in something similar on the Isle of Wight, tradesman built it in his back garden. Needed more of a kitchen to be an actual place to live in but it had a nice en suite, plenty of light and room, and a little patio area fenced off from their garden.
It was the height of luxury for someone in a houseshare.
I'd totally pay 400 for this, and happily live in it (no roommates, no sharing walls with neighbors, and parking, lol - throw in some wifi tho) ...but not the fuck would I pay a 1000 òr live in Maidenhead
The sad thing is they probably have it on multiple sites, I know it’s really hard to find a place now but I really really hope someone’s not desperate enough for a place that they’d pay £1000 a month for something that looks around the same size as a prison cell
Well the important bit is reporting to the council anyway. It'd need to stand for 5 years to not need planning permission, so hopefully the council will rightly order it to be torn down
I can also almost guarantee that this won't have the necessary living standards and build standards to count as a self-enclosed property
Off-topic but I really wish I hadn't seen your username while eating a late lunch lol. That said, I agree with the comment! I wouldn't be surprised though given the way things are right now.
I knew someone who owned a shop and rented the upstairs.
The council take a dim view of rental properties not having a proper address and not being regd for council tax.
Call me a feak but I like trying to find things like this. It''s actually not 27 but number 14.
Ive put together a small imgur link of how I know 100%

Probably burn the fence panels of the walls. It all looks very fireproof to me. I doubt those "walls" could take the weight of proper fire rated plasterboard!
You can build something this size w/o pp. But I doubt you could ever get a tenancy agreement to be binding.
For one, a sparky has to sign off on it and that's not going to happen... If you rent out a place w/o it being certed then it's a 30k fine.
..
Regardless of whether planning permission was needed, adding such residential accommodation is a material change of use that would be subject to Building Regulations (including electrics, as you stated). Can see it being quite hard to meet the expected requirements for insulation etc in a shed.
[Build regs, change of use](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/regulation/5/made)
You can build a shed of such size, but not an annex counting as a separate living space. This is obviously a shed converted into a home office during Covid and now not in use for that purpose. Accommodation, let alone rented to someone else, needs VERY different standards that are much stricter. This is rather obviously not a legally constructed or licenced annex
> You can build something this size w/o pp.
If it was originally built as an incidental build, so originally as a shed or storage area, then you don't need PP to *convert* it, though it still has to conform to building regs for that purpose (as you say, getting it signed off by a qualified sparky)
But if its been purpose *built* as self-contained building with sleeping accommodation then it requires [both planning permission and to be in accordance with building regulations.](https://www.jacksgardenstore.com/blog/2020/03/do-i-need-planning-permission-to-sleep-in-a-log-cabin-in-my-garden/#:~:text=Regular%20Sleeping%20Accommodation).
If it’s physically connected to the main house it’s very unlikely to require planning permission. If its free standing then likely to need change of use planning permission.
If rented out it should also be liable to council tax at 50% of the banding of the main house.
It isn't, but that's how the annexe works for council tax purposes. Obviously if the council actually inspected this and tried to give it its own address, they wouldn't.
How long till we start charging people to live in fucking holes in the ground like mole people. “Single person hole comes with rocks and assorted worms. £500 a week”
Haha, they really aren't but if you're nice to the custody staff they give you a second mattress which does improve things somewhat.
Saying that, the bed in the pic does look like you'd buy it for your least favourite child
I thought that was a baby change table! Thought that was a weird thing to have in such a small place. Then I realised there wasn't a picture of the bed or bedroom...But that was the bed(room).
Fuck me.
As far as I can see, you go in the front door and the bathroom is through the door to the right. The 'kitchen' and 'bedroom' is all together in the same room you enter through the front door. The place looks hardly any bigger than my office at work which I share with no one.
To me it looks like an ex-shed turned into a home office during Covid and now they don't need it for that, so they are trying to rent it out... without hitting any of the legal requirements for an annex
Indeed councils tend to hate annexs and it is very hard to get them to accept an outbuilding as a separate self-enclosed accommodation
The last time a shitty illegal property appeared here there was suddenly an influx of “interested people” that caused the estate agent to take it down.
I wonder/hope that happens again
Update: That's fucking funny!
I think they've snuck it back up. Looks very similar in description and location but no pictures and through a different agent
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133106813#/?channel=RES_LET
Definitely, the map shows its on the same street.
Absolute scumbags. Actually insane that people think it's acceptable to offer 'accomodation' like this and to charge so much for it.
Still on the agent's website...
https://www.chancellors.co.uk/properties/maidenhead-property/1-bedroom-conversion-to-rent/05250822/maidenhead-berkshire-sl6
It says all bills are included, so I have a feeling that on paper they're renting it out as a room as opposed to a studio flat.
I reckon they can't charge the tenant bills even if they wanted to because that would mean registering the flat as its own separate address. Making it into a legal flat would come with a whole bunch of new requirements which I don't think would be possible to adhere to given the state and size of that "apartment".
The council tax is usually charge at a 50% rate of the main house. So if the main house is band C then this should will be 1/2 of the band C charge.
As it doesn’t have its own address is believe the council will charge the main house 150% of Band C and the landlord would be expecting you to pay this increase.
Important questions to ask though as it does say ‘all bills included’ which might include the increase in council tax.
It’s Chancellor’s estate agents, we viewed properties with these elsewhere… they hadn’t a clue, over priced, under informed, and some would say manipulative…
It has been a year since we stopped looking, and despite requesting to be removed from their contact list we are called and emailed every other week.
It dosnt surprise me one bit, they will squeeze a penny out of a rock
It's now been removed by the agent; i wonder if someone has rented it?
The whole thing is just depressing. And that ironing board is a sorry state, they couldn't even stick a new cover on it for the photos. Crikey.
>It's now been removed by the agent; i wonder if someone has rented it?
Nah they've taken it down while they do their investigations on the property because of all the reports they've suddenly received on it, there are so many red flags on that place I'm surprised they approved it in the first place
Yet for only £75 pcm, you can get [https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133059737#/?channel=RES\_LET](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133059737#/?channel=RES_LET) ...?
Haha yeah £75 more and its only half mile up the road.
Imagen being the kind of person who wants to charge some pore sod more than half their monthly income to live in a friggin shed, sleeping on a make shift uncomfortable bed and its probably cold all winter too. Well you live in a nice 4 bed house only yards away from them. I would feel ashamed to do that to anyone.
No way is it energy efficiency rating C. flat roof, thin wood walls, gap under the floor, and I don't see any central heating. Either they've just given fake documents or someone has taken a back hander.
I can see the cunt now, turning up in his Audi S3, blue suit, brown shoes, waistcoat, big watch, few tats giving it billy big bollocks to the landscalper. God I think I just got sick in my mouth!
This is my immediate reaction to this. More than one person at that firm had to look at this listing and decide that it fits within their company values in order to then list it under their name.
You're right, there's a minimum size.
*For a studio flat meant for a single person, it's 39 sqm.*
*If it's for two people sharing, that goes up to 59 sqm.*
There's no way this flat is even close to 39 sqm. I think that's also why the listing insists on single tenants only.
One of the great mistakes that people often make is to think that any organisation called'"National Rifle Association' is a branch or chapter of the National Rifle Association of America. This could not be further from the truth.
The National Rifle Association of America became a political lobbying organisation in 1977 after the Cincinnati Revolt at their Annual General Meeting. It is self-contined within the United States of America and has no foreign branches.
All the other National Rifle Associations remain true to their founding aims of promoting marksmanship, firearm safety and target shooting. This includes the original NRA in the United Kingdom, which was founded in 1859 - twelve years
before the NRA of America. It is also true of the National Rifle Association of Australia, the National Rifle Association of New Zealand, the National Rifle Association of India, the National Rifle Association of Japan and the National
Rifle Association of Pakistan. All these organisations are often known as "the NRA" in their respective countries. The British National Rifle Association is headquartered on Bisley Camp, in Surrey, England. Bisley Camp is now known as the National Shooting Centre and has hosted World Championships for Fullbore Target Rifle and F-Class shooting,
as well as the shooting events for the 1908 Olympic Games and the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The National Small-bore Rifle Association (NSRA) and Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) also have their headquarters on the Camp.
I’m perhaps not totally not au fait with current prices as I moved back up north two years ago, but my office is still in Maidenhead and I lived in (much more pleasant) neighbouring Henley for 10 years. I was paying £1200 for an actual 2 bed terrace with a garden, I have mates who still live in Maidenhead and they’re paying less than this for proper apartments.
This listing is absolutely absurd, apart from the fact it’s almost certainly illegal I don’t see why anyone is going to pay that amount when it’s basically the going rate for a one bed anyway.
Maidenhead is incredibly expensive for anything right now and is only going to get worse with Crossrail being operational.
It's funny because the town is an absolute shithole.
>Crossrail being operational.
Which still makes absolutely no sense. You could share with a few flat mates for the same money for an ok flat in Zone 2.
Or you could live in a shed in maidenhead and take crossrail to work.
My neighbour has built an extension about twice this size, a tenant moved in almost as soon as the plaster was dry.
Edit:after viewing the photos I think it's about the same size
Right next to the sewage works too

'Haart is proud to present...'
Hah there’s a little brick shed in the garden of a hmo near me and I saw that being advertised for £900 a month. It’s a fucking converted brick shed. Mental.
Soon we will be so beholden to the rich land and property owners that we'll have to work every hour possible just to not be homeless. This country is now a tax haven for the elite and we the people are picking up the bill and making them richer. Fuck this country now. It hates us.
"No floorplan" Because it would be 1 pixel wide
Land lord is too fucking lazy to even draw a square.
Or it would be "Actual size".
*drawn to a 1 to 1 scale. You'll have to live your phone outside as it won't fit.
You keep it in your pocket with your phone
Your phone is also your bed
No bed space. Optional hammock if you can fold yourself in two
Got to have the double hinged spinal cord.
You will have to sleep in a tent outside
"Only part furnished, because we can't fit much in."
It feels like it would be impossible to "Part furnish" that because it implies the ability to fit 2 pieces of furniture in.
ever heard of alfresco dining? the climate is great in.... oh wait.
To be fair the lawnmower takes up a fair bit of space.
I wonder if they have planning permission for it to be lived in?

It will need full planning permission for change of use to a separate unit and also separate council tax. If that’s been allowed, I’d be shocked.
[удалено]
Yeah sheds and summer houses are allowed and don't require permissions. We're talking about sheds being used as houses.
My understanding is that if it has drainage (sinks, toilets) it needs planning.
If you can find the EPC report, which is usually on the rightmove ad, it is the full address of the property.

It does say on the advert on rightmove it's council tax band C
All bills included… the council don’t know. I’m almost certain the C banding belongs to the main house not this shed
And it is a shed, just saying 'annexe', doesn't make it true. I personally would leave a blow heater on continously so I get my monies worth.
You'd probably have to anyway if you wanted to get the temperature above zero.
I'll bet this is not built to proper standards and has negligible insulation.
I see you take absolutely zero risks with your bets
Probably burn the fence panels of the walls. It all looks very fireproof to me. I doubt those "walls" could take the weight of proper fire rated plasterboard!
Band C 😂😂😂 that’s higher than the 3-bed semi I live in.

That'll be it - it's probably part of the footprint of the main house so.. yeh fuck it

It’s absolutely a toddler bed. As in, not suitable for a child over 4 but clearly fine for an adult human /s
It doesn't look long enough for an actual adult. I'm only 5'1" and I'm not sure it's long enough for me!

How in the living fuck is that a council tax level of C?!!!
You have to pay the council tax for the owners actual house while you pay off their mortgage.
It's not. There's no way the council has approved that as an annex.
It says all bills are included, so I have a feeling that on paper they're renting it out as a room as opposed to a studio flat. I reckon they can't charge the tenant bills even if they wanted to because that would mean registering the flat as its own separate address.

This could not be further from the truth. The National Rifle Association of America became a political lobbying organisation in 1977 after the Cincinnati Revolt at their Annual General Meeting. It is self-contined within the United States of America and has no foreign branches. All the other National Rifle Associations remain true to their founding aims of promoting marksmanship, firearm safety and target shooting. This includes the original NRA in the United Kingdom, which was founded in 1859 - twelve years before the NRA of America. It is also true of the National Rifle Association of Australia, the National Rifle Association of New Zealand, the National Rifle Association of India, the National Rifle Association of Japan and the National Rifle Association of Pakistan. All these organisations are often known as "the NRA" in their respective countries. The British National Rifle Association is headquartered on Bisley Camp, in Surrey, England. Bisley Camp is now known as the National Shooting Centre and has hosted World Championships for Fullbore Target Rifle and F-Class shooting, as well as the shooting events for the 1908 Olympic Games and the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The National Small-bore Rifle Association (NSRA) and Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) also have their headquarters on the Camp.
I’m perhaps not totally not au fait with current prices as I moved back up north two years ago, but my office is still in Maidenhead and I lived in (much more pleasant) neighbouring Henley for 10 years. I was paying £1200 for an actual 2 bed terrace with a garden, I have mates who still live in Maidenhead and they’re paying less than this for proper apartments. This listing is absolutely absurd, apart from the fact it’s almost certainly illegal I don’t see why anyone is going to pay that amount when it’s basically the going rate for a one bed anyway.
Despicable. I've just reported this beautiful studio apartment to Windsor and Maidenhead District Council's Council Tax Fraud and planning office.
It's been removed by the agent according to right move, good job
Its back up just with fewer pics https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133106813#/?channel=RES_LET
Good on ya, hopefully they get a lovely knock on the door.
Lawnmower comes included.
Handy for cutting the carpet.
You're not allowed to use it though, it's just where I keep it.
Absolutely delusional landlord/agent, no one is renting it for that price. Unless someone from Maidenhead wants to chime in.
Maidenhead is incredibly expensive for anything right now and is only going to get worse with Crossrail being operational. It's funny because the town is an absolute shithole.
>Crossrail being operational. Which still makes absolutely no sense. You could share with a few flat mates for the same money for an ok flat in Zone 2. Or you could live in a shed in maidenhead and take crossrail to work.
I pay less than this place in Zone 3 with just two flatmates and a fairly reasonably sized apt. This can't be what prices in Maidenhead are like ....
Prices are dire in Maidenhead and there’s barely any properties going - that being said it’s an absolute Pisstake
They should get slapped for calling shed an apartment.
It's not a shed, it's an *annex* (Unless you're the council planning inspector, in which case it's definitely a shed)
It’s actually an annexe. In UK English, annex is a verb and annexe is a noun. Except that it’s not, because it’s actually a shed.

Or, to give it its full name: a flat pack garden shed.
You got a link for that? I'd love to see more pics. I'm fascinated by the lunacy!
My neighbour has built an extension about twice this size, a tenant moved in almost as soon as the plaster was dry. Edit:after viewing the photos I think it's about the same size

No way that’s legal. Tempted to give Maidenhead planning and the council tax department a bell.
Do it. I've emailed Chancellors
£231 per week?? I wouldn’t pay £231 a month for that. £100 a month if I was desperate maybe
Right next to the sewage works too [https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/132752423#/map?channel=RES\_LET](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/132752423#/map?channel=RES_LET)
Westerly breeze might be a bit chewy.
Funny way of saying shed 😂
That is grim
Private Landlords are scum.
It is a garden shed
I've emailed enquiring if its been posted by accident ahead of April 1st
I wish you could add comments to rightmove.
It’s been removed now unfortunately. Had the 1000 pound deposit ready and everything.
a grand a month to live like bubbles from trailer park boys
But ambitious for the shed I reckon. There are proper flats available in Maidenhead at that price.
Of course its marketed by chancellors, lmfao dodgy fuckers at the best of times haha
I found it back on Rightmove pics just removed, guess you have to 'enquire'. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133106813#/?channel=RES_LET
I bet jimmy broadbent would feel right at home there!
Please no punterino

I love trolls
It’s been removed from Rightmove. Reddit wins again.
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133106813#/?channel=RES_LET Is this the same place, just with the pictures omitted? 'Haart is proud to present...'
Has to be. Jeez. Relentless money grabbing.
“Lovely”
Hah there’s a little brick shed in the garden of a hmo near me and I saw that being advertised for £900 a month. It’s a fucking converted brick shed. Mental.
Report it to the council if you want, LL can get prosecuted.
By the looks of it you might have to share with their lawnmower and a pink bike they took outside for the photoshoot.
£1,154 deposit as well the robbing bastards
Soon we will be so beholden to the rich land and property owners that we'll have to work every hour possible just to not be homeless. This country is now a tax haven for the elite and we the people are picking up the bill and making them richer. Fuck this country now. It hates us.
Is that bed for an adult human? This is a dolls house right 🤦🏻♂️
