Having known someone who sold their London houseboat to a yuppie some years ago I don't think they are exactly housing for the poor, so I had a look around for some more recent costs -


--- Quote ---prices range from £100,000 upwards: "Our cheapest at the moment is a two bedroom Dutch barge in Brentford for £110,000; our most expensive is £415,000"... you'll need insurance - around £3,500 a year

--- Quote ---Moorings on a rolling annual basis can be from £4-5,000 a year upwards, but in London licences are extremely hard to come by.

--- Quote ---The biggest cost will be your mooring and maintenance fees, which vary very much according to the level of service and the location. In Cheyne Walk, says Russell, you're looking at £500-1000 a month.

In Brentford it's much cheaper - £250 a month will cover the fees for service connections and the general maintenance of the site. You will, of course, have to pay utility bills and you're also usually liable for council tax.

Running costs should also be borne in mind: fuel, engine oil, repairs and maintenance, toilets and pumps. And last, but by no means least, you'll need to lift and dry dock the boat every five years to ensure all is well (£2,000).

Oh, by the way these costs are taken from an article dated July 2005  http://www.findaproperty.com/edition.aspx?edid=05&opt=story&storyid=7749
