The Quick Move Properties guide to buying a park home
Like the idea of relaxation? Well, the purchase of your park home could be just as stress-free as the living you will enjoy, if you make sure you are equipped with the information you need. Quick Move Properties explores the process of buying into the park home lifestyle.Before buying:
1) Look into which location you would like to live in, which new sites are being developed and which existing park homes are up for sale.
2) Speak to residents already living on park home sites to find out about the local area and the activities on offer. Meet your potential neighbours and get a feel for the lifestyle.
3) Prices vary widely, with new park homes ranging from £70,000 to £300,000 and second hand homes usually costing upwards of £50,000. Work out a budget, find the plots or homes for you and see if there is any scope for negotiation on price.
4) Consult surveyors or solicitors if you need extra advice or want to raise certain questions about structural elements, the purchase process or surveys.
5) Check the Mobile Homes Act 1983 which gives you information concerning the legalities involved in purchasing a park home; it also details residents’ rights. It is worth speaking to the individual park owners as well to find out the particulars about the site of your choice.
Questions you may want to ask before buying your park home...
• Does the park allow pets?
• Is the site permanent and for residential dwellers all year round?
• Is there an age stipulation?
• Can children live on the park? Can children stay over?
• Will I be responsible for any maintenance?
• Is there commission payable to the park owner if I sell?
• Are electricity and gas purchased through the park?
• Do I have to pay ground rent?
• Which council tax band is the park home in?
• Can I have a look at the site licence issued by the local authority?
• When buying a new home, are transportation, siting and mains connection charges included?
• Does the park home have a structural warranty and can it be transferred on sale?
Now, the most important part…a top tip on financing:
If you are struggling to sell your existing property and finance your onward move, look into whether the park home site offers part exchange or explore the service of a home buyer. Releasing equity has never been easier and there are schemes on offer which leave you firmly in control of the proceedings and timescales.
How does part exchange assist park home buyers?
Using part exchange allows you to avoid all the costs and hassle of trying to sell on the open market: you could ‘swap’ your current property for your new home and pocket the difference! With the right scheme, part exchange can provide instant cash, definite timeframes decided by you and a guaranteed move.
