Transportable Homes in Wanganui, Manawatu

Looking to transportable homes for your next build? We’re here to help.

Because of the increase in housing costs all over the country, more and more Kiwis are finding it difficult to own a home – and the Manawatu region is no exception. This is why more locals are now looking to transportable homes in Wanganui and Manawatu as a more affordable alternative to home ownership. With a transportable home, you get access to a warm, healthy home sans the hefty mortgage.

Home to almost 45,000 people, Wanganui offers an enviable lifestyle to its residents. Good incomes, the absence of traffic, and rich cultural heritage make the place attractive to many. Aside from these, housing is also relatively affordable in Wanganui. Data for 2019 shows that the town’s median price is at $330,000. Although comparatively cheaper relative to much of the country, this price may still be steep for some locals. For only $87,999, or for just a little more than a quarter of the median house price, one can actually own a two-bedroom home through Able Spaces. These transportable buildings can either be placed on a new section or behind an existing space on your property. It’s practical, more affordable, and more sustainable – perfect for families and first home buyers.

If you’re looking for a housing solution to suit your whole family, a modular home could be the way to go. Choose up to three modules, depending on your family’s needs, to create the ideal prefab home. These are portable buildings, so if you ever decide to move, you can easily take your house with you! Mobile homes have never looked so stylish and contemporary.

Able Spaces can also help with portable commercial buildings for sale and hire in Wanganui. We offer a wide variety of portable cabins, offices, lunchrooms, and toilet blocks that can easily be transported to Wanganui.

What our customers say about us

"I must tell you how happy I am with my new portable unit which I looked at yesterday - looking forward to it being ready for me to move into when I get back from my trip to the UK. My friend Murray was very impressed with the unit too and the high standard of it. So we were two happy people - despite the pouring rain - when we left Wellington after our viewing."


Rosemary, Masterton

Norma was an absolute pleasure to deal with! Beginning to end, communication was immediate and always friendly. Our 2 bedroom building we had was awesome, very spacious and comfortable. The kids and I loved having our own space at the family home =)"


Monique, Wainuiomata

We love our home, it's so warm and cosy. We are so happy we decided to go with Able Spaces, After much deliberation on homes, even the one that has just recently been on Fair Go, I talked with that guy for weeks, the poor people who followed through, had their money taken and no home! Norma you have been amazing and delivered on everything we wanted. You are a very honest Director of your company. We have no hesitation in recommending Able Spaces Homes"
