About Park Home Living

Q: What is a residential park home?
A: A residential park home is a modern, purpose-built bungalow-style property located within a private park community. They are designed for year-round living and offer a safe, friendly environment.

Q: Who can live in a residential park home?
A: Most of our parks are designed for those aged 45+ or retirees looking to downsize, although criteria may vary depending on the specific park.

Q: What are the benefits of downsizing into a park home?
A: Downsizing allows you to release equity from your current home, reduce maintenance, and enjoy a lower-cost lifestyle while joining a welcoming community.

Costs & Ownership

Q: How much does it cost to live in a residential park home?
A: The cost depends on the size, style, and location of the home. In addition, residents pay a monthly pitch fee to cover the upkeep of the park. Utilities are usually billed individually.

Q: Do I own the land my home is on?
A: No. You own the home itself but pay a pitch fee to rent the plot of land it sits on. This is standard across residential parks in the UK.

Q: Are park homes a good investment?
A: Park homes are designed as lifestyle choices rather than traditional property investments. While they may not increase in value like bricks-and-mortar houses, the lifestyle benefits and financial freedom of downsizing are highly rewarding.

Practicalities

A: Many of our parks are pet-friendly, but rules vary depending on the location. Please check the details of each park before moving.
