Floating homes up for sale at Poplar Marina

Three unusual floating homes are up for sale in the Poplar Marina, near Canary Wharf, offering two bedrooms, a bathroom, a lounge area, a mini-kitchen and a deck with views of the waterfront for around £242,000. The average cost of a property sold in the same area in the last 12 months is £579,000. Ian Barr, managing director of Waterlodge, the company that makes the floating homes, said the aim was to create distinctive but affordable homes in prized locations. "They are more off-the-wall than your standard bricks-and-mortar property, but provide affordable waterfront luxury", he said. The waterproofing on the homes is good for 25 years, according to Waterlodge, which claims its homes are "virtually unsinkable".
