Park Homes

"I only wish we'd done it years ago'' is a phrase you'll often hear from our homeowners. And when you look at what their lifestyle offers it's hardly surprising. A modern spacious Park Home, beautiful surroundings, a friendly community - plus, for many, freedom from financial pressures.

At present, more than 200,000 people live in residential park homes. Generally much more affordable than similarly sized urban properties, they are often the starting point for a dream retirement with an asset which can increase in value and later be sold or passed on.

Is Finance Available?
To assist with your purchase we are able to offer very competitive rates for both new and established homes subject to status and normally a minimum deposit of 20% is required. You may consider retaining some of your hard earned capital and invest it with a higher return than the cost of finance.
BACK

Do you allow pets?
We allow pets to come onto the Park but we ask that when anything happens to them they are not replaced. This ensures that the pet population is kept under control. Assistance dogs are allowed subject to the Park Owner's consent.
