Quick Move Properties Park Homes Team Update

While the park homes team of Karen and Ricky is busy getting ready for the National Park & Holiday Homes Show at the East of England Showground this weekend, we thought it would be a good time to update you on all the exciting progress that is taking place at Quick Move Properties.

We have had a brand update (see image below) and launched a brand new range of marketing material aimed to help our clients highlight the benefits of part exchange to their customers. The initial response to this has been fabulous – the new branding has been a hit and the material is really useful – just what we wanted to hear!



The first quarter of 2012 has been a record breaking one for Quick Move Properties and we are thrilled that we have been able to help such a large number of park home operators and manufacturers increase their sales. Our client list continues to grow and we are proud to maintain our position as the industry’s number one part exchange company.

We received feedback from some of our leading clients that they would benefit from some help with training their sales team in how to sell the benefits of part exchange. In response, we put together a training presentation and hand-outs and are now visiting teams and holding training sessions with them in order to improve their acceptance rates.

If you would like to find out more about how part exchange can help you increase sales, request a marketing pack or arrange a training session, please contact Karen Burke on 01793 840917 or px@quickmoveproperties.co.uk

P.S. If you are attending the show this weekend, make sure you pop in to see Karen and Ricky for a cup of tea and a cupcake at stand 23P!

Park home living – what better way to enjoy the great outdoors?

Spring and summer are traditionally popular seasons for purchasing park homes and embarking on a new life, due to the better weather, blossoming nature and emerging wildlife…and what better springboard for a healthy, active lifestyle than park home living?

Regency Park Homes and Britannia Parks have recently joined forces to create the Park Life Group: the park home sites on offer through the newly-formed company are perfect for embracing life outdoors, whatever your interests. The sites themselves, their locations and the activities available make pursuing an active lifestyle possible and allow you the freedom to follow existing hobbies and start new ones.


Quick Move Properties looks into four Park Life Group parks and what they offer when it comes to enjoying the great outdoors, and provides tips on how to begin your search for a park home.



Four Park Life Group parks and the opportunities they each offer:

Truro Heights

Located in Cornwall, Truro Heights provides exciting prospects for outdoor living both on and off the park, whether you are looking for sports or gentle exercise and relaxation. The outdoor activities in the area include:

With so many ways to enjoy the British countryside, it is becoming ever-more popular to buy a park home and embark on a new way of life. There are many park home sites available and it can be a daunting process when you start looking for a new home to live in so we have put together a few handy tips to help you with the first stages of your journey.

Where to start with finding the right park home site for you:
  • Look into park locations and decide where you would most like to live
  • Study the local area to see which activities are on offer and which  hobbies you will be able to pursue
  • Make a list of what you want from a park lifestyle; put the list in order of preference to ascertain what is most important to you and what you may be able to compromise on
So, whatever your passion and whichever aspects of being outside you enjoy, the right park for you is out there…it’s just a case of finding it! We wish you the best of luck with your search.

New Planning Framework: A Case For Development?

Conservative Planning Minister Greg Clark told the House of Commons that the planning system in England sorely needs reforming, and that the changes that he is proposing will be good for developers, homebuyers and the countryside alike. Mr Clark said that government had to stop getting in the way of building new houses, otherwise young families would believe that "the property-owning democracy was for our generation, not for theirs."

Speaking in the Commons on the 27th of March, the minister said that “top-down targets [leave] communities seeing planning as something done to them, rather than by them".  The national planning policy framework is meant to undo a decade of centrist planning and make scores of new houses available for sale to first time buyers.

The new framework supports localism, while reducing the planning burden on local councils considerably. A government spokesperson said that the planning regulations had become too complex and were holding back economic growth. This new framework reduces a 1,300 page document to a 50 page booklet.


The British Property Federation (BFP), which represents landlords and property developers, said that a raft of amendments made in response to early criticism of the framework have helped to reassure critics. The new framework lays down a requirement favouring brownfield ahead of greenfield sites, a strong “town centre first” emphasis and a clearer definition of sustainable development. Greg Clark also said that the amended framework will continue to protect gardens and playing fields.

However, questions still remain about how the new framework will be implemented. According to the BPF it is still unclear “how the framework will work in practice given around half of local authorities still have not produced a Local Plan, and the complete lack of any underpinning guidance to support the document.” Councils without an existing local plan will start to use the government’s guidance immediately, while those that already have a plan will have one year to make it consistent with the framework.

Some critics continue to voice concerns about the level of protection afforded to communities and the environment. The National Trust has said that the changes from the first version give the framework "better tone and balance,” but Dame Fiona Reynolds, The Trust’s director general said: "The country needs huge effort at a local level to get plans in place that properly reflect the integration of social, economic and environmental goals, and protect places people value."

Paragraph 199 in particular leaves the framework open to pressure by development interests:  "Local planning authorities should consider using Local Development Orders to relax planning controls for particular areas or categories of development, where the impacts would be acceptable, and in particular where this would promote economic, social or environmental gains for the area, such as boosting enterprise." All sustainability provisions can be weighed against an economic argument and set aside if the council so decides.

Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Hilary Benn, questions whether the reforms are needed at all: "Ministers claim that planning is the obstacle to building homes when 300,000 dwellings, already given permission, have not yet been built...because of the failure of the government's own economic policy," he said.
