A couple and their four children are now living on a double decker bus after ditching their rental home - and say they're saving £12,000 a year. Conrad Kirk, 31, and his partner, Nicole McCarthy, 31, bought a 1978 double-decker bus back in September 2021 for £2,000, initially to use as a holiday home.
The couple planned to convert the vehicle into a luxury motorhome so they wouldn't have to fork out for hotel rooms on family breaks. But after doing up the old bus, the pair loved it so much they decided to move their family-of-six into it full-time.
The idea to move out of their £1,300 a month three-bed rental property and live on the bus started as a "joke" but soon became a reality when the couple realised they could save around £1,000 a month.
