Advice please. 13:48 - Jul 9 with 2756 viewsfergalsharkey

I'm thinking of buying a lighthouse to use as a part time residence.
It's no longer functions and is half a mile from the coast (I wont say where it is) for obvious reasons.

The thing is you still have to pay council tax BUT there is no Bin collections or local amenities and you have to provide transport to and from the mainland yourself.
The current incumbents pay approx £750 a year, do you think this is right?

I'm sure that if you talk nicely to the council they'll provide free transport to your Lighthouse.
They'll charge you £10,000 if you want to come back though.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

You can pick up a second hand pedalo for under £500.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Well you could always buy a pedallo - no worries ever about refuelling then.

Dunno. But I'm sure someone will set up a GoFundMe page to help cover your costs.

I considered that myself once, but the practicalities and logistics seemed a nightmare, I soon saw the light.

Do you mean officially certified or just a touch silly to be considering a tall ex beacon as a dwelling?

If you need your own transport to the mainland, I've converted my old moped into a jet ski.

Yours for a tenner, but you'd have to come and collect it from where I live (International Space Station)

Is it this one?

Need to be careful, in 1985 it was hit by a 154 foot wave.

You're thinking of buying a lighthouse, so you came on an Ipswich Town football forum for advice...

Surely there's a mumsnet or equivalent for Lighthouses, I'm sure HIGN have done a segment on Lighthouse monthly.

I have no idea but in terms of advice, try not to go mad out there!



In all seriousness it sounds like a very interesting project though, good luck.
