While manufactured homes offer affordability and time efficiency, their suitability in the Wagga area has been put to question.

Manufactured homes have come a long way and now offer deluxe features like Caesar stone benches, double-glazed windows and other luxuries that are seen in standard homes.
These homes are not considered buildings under state planning legislation and therefore require a development application to be lodged for their installation as a dwelling.
Max Kavanagh runs a house relocation service in Wagga and said majority of transportable homes are moved to the coast or other regional towns.
"I don't think we've dropped any homes into Wagga or outer areas like Forest Hill as it's more difficult here than other subdivisions in locations like Queanbeyan, Goulburn and Yass," Mr Kavanagh said.
"We send quite a few down to the coast as holiday houses where people have acre-lots like in Batemans Bay, as before our life depended on the rural areas but that has completely changed.
"We don't survive on rural properties anymore as a lot of big companies are buying the land."
However, Wagga City Council's city development manager Paul O'Brien said the Local Government (Manufactured Home Estates, Caravan Parks, Camping Grounds and Moveable Dwellings) Regulation 2005 controls the construction standards these homes must meet.
"Council would asses any development application on its merits against the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010.
"There are examples of manufactured houses approved in the Wagga Wagga Local Government Area."
Batlow resident Ange Dierkx and her husband are trying to sell her one-year-old modern transportable home after having difficulties on their property.
"It's a great industry however with Wagga's subdivisions it limits the options, whereas where we are situated in Batlow and Tumut areas it's not a problem," Mrs Dierkx said.
"Unfortunately it didn't work on the property as we are sharing the land with a couple of people.
"We've found that due to their debt we can't get anything financially and so we're unable to borrow any more money."
The home costs about $35,000 to move which hinders the couple's chances of moving it to another location, but Mrs Dierkx said they are fortunate in some regard that their home is movable.
"The good thing about buying a transportable home is that while we were going through council's building approval, the home's construction had commenced, so there was no waiting period," she said.
"It's definitely more affordable and you can get something really basic but we upgraded absolutely everything and incorporated a walk-in-pantry, extended the showers and added a glass panel in the ensuite to avoid a door.
"Because we were very picky the whole period took about 20 weeks, but it usually only takes about 10 weeks from start to finish."
