Buying a park home is a big purchase and even bigger lifestyle change so we recommend doing lots of research before getting started. Here’s some things to consider: - What’s your budget? - What’s your timeframe? - Where do you want to live?
Once you’ve decided on a location, we’d recommend creating a shortlist of potential residential parks you want to live on and be sure to visit them all, speaking to the park owner and other residents to get a real feel for park life.
Once you’ve decided on the park you want to live on, you have two options - you can either purchase a showhome the park already has on the site, or you can reserve a vacant plot if you want the chance to order a bespoke home.
If you’ve reserved a plot and need to choose the perfect Willerby Bespoke model for you, why not book an appointment at one of our showgrounds to view a range of models. Once you’ve chosen your home, our team will work with you to ensure it’s designed to your exact liking.
Your new life starts now - it’s time to move into your dream home. Consider things like changing your Doctor’s surgery and updating your contact details with your banks, employees etc. Once you’ve moved in, we recommend reading your Owners Handbook to be sure you know everything there is to know about your new home.
As much as we’d all love to holiday all year round, locating your park home for residential use requires a lot more consideration than that of a holiday home. As well as finding a park with the right ambience and sense of community you’ll need to make sure that it meets the legal requirements for all year round residency. Here is our guide to the fundamental difference between the two types of parks.
Benefits of park home living
There are a host of benefits of becoming a Willerby park home owner from offering an affordable living solution with a low maintenance property, to releasing equity from your current home and joining a like-minded, friendly community in a safe and secure environment. Design your home to your exact specifications, choose your layout and colour schemes and enjoy your home in a beautiful location that you’ve always dreamed of.
The price of your park home depends on a range of factors including; location within the UK, model and size of the home, interior specification, plot size and plot location - parks in areas of natural beauty or prime locations often carry a premium. We advise you to enquire at your chosen park for an “on park price” which would include the cost of the home, transport and siting costs plus any decking or landscaping, should you desire these. Just like a domestic home there are similar costs to consider for a park home including; gas, electric, water, council tax, insurance, and ground rent. These are often significantly lower than a bricks and mortar property and are worth investigating beforehand.
