Before beginning the process of placing a park home or lodge on your own land, you will need to carry out a feasibility study to ensure it can be done. Some things to check are:
Is there adequate access available to the land?
What planning permission will be required?
What sized home can you fit on your land?
Does your budget cover all costs?
Planning regulations differ from county to county so you will need to speak to your local council for the most up-to-date advice. They will look at things such as the amount of disruption that could be caused, ground conditions, physical characteristics of the plot, whether structures had been in place on the land previously, and if there are any covenants in place.
The cost of the home is just one of the factors you need to consider when purchasing a home for your own land. You also need to ensure you have budgeted for groundwork and services (e.g. creation of plot, construction of concrete base, drainage etc), transportation, planning application and any other services to ensure your land is adequately prepared for the home such as gas, electricity, and water.
We require a deposit to begin production of your home. Once the home has been made you will need to pay for the home in full. You may be able to get a mortgage for your park home or lodge, but this is uncommon – please speak to us for advice and recommendations.
