Buying Your Park Home
Buying a holiday or residential home is an exciting step, but it can also feel like a big decision with lots to consider. Our Buyer’s Guide is here to make the process simple and stress-free.
From understanding the different types of homes available to exploring finance options, part exchange, and what life is really like in our parks, this guide gives you all the information you need to make a confident choice.
Holiday Home or Residential Home?
When choosing between a holiday home and a residential home, the key difference lies in how you can use them. A holiday home is designed for leisure and relaxation, giving you the freedom to enjoy breaks and longer stays throughout the year, but it isn’t for full-time living.
A residential home, on the other hand, is built for permanent occupation, offering you the security of a year-round address within a welcoming community.
Understanding this distinction will help you decide which option best suits your lifestyle and plans for the future.
Choosing your Location
Choosing the right location is one of the most important steps when buying a holiday or residential home. Think about what matters most to your lifestyle – do you want to be by the coast, close to countryside walks, or within easy reach of shops and services?
For holiday homes, consider how far you’re willing to travel for weekends away, while for residential living you’ll want good access to everyday essentials, healthcare, and family or friends. It’s also worth exploring the feel of the community, local attractions, and transport links to make sure the area truly fits your needs both now and in the future.
Financing your Park Home
If you’re thinking about downsizing into a residential park home, it can sometimes feel confusing – especially as park homes are usually more affordable than traditional brick-and-mortar houses. Many people ask whether it’s possible to part exchange their current home for a park home, and in many cases it can be.
It’s important, though, to look at all the financial aspects before making a decision. Consider whether you’ll be buying outright or using a finance plan, factor in the difference in value between your existing property and the new home, and be clear on ongoing costs such as pitch fees, utilities, and maintenance.
Taking the time to understand your financing options will help you make the most of the savings from downsizing while ensuring your move is affordable and sustainable in the long term.
