Frequently Asked Questions

An entry level home can typically start from as little as a £200,000 – that’s the turn key price. Similarly to buying a car, there are different manufacturers with different model ranges and the cost varies accordingly. The Willerby Hazelwood is a homes that fits this category.

There are a wide choice of park home manufacturers available. We’ve listed a few that we recommend on our manufacturer’s page. Remember that if you opt to purchase a home from a manufacturer i.e. not purchase a home already available at the park, the final cost will be more than the ‘ex-works’ price quoted by the manufacturer. The park owner will charge a siting fee to transport the home from factory to park, siting it on its concrete base and connecting it to mains services.

Ensure that you budget for this as your total bill could easily double.

All the park home manufacturers that we advise to buyers are built to residential standard BS 3632:2015.  All homes and lodges built to this standard are required to be energy efficient.

They compare very favourably and many people find that the sale of a larger family house provides sufficent cash to buy a luxurious, modern park home with enough funds left over to ensure financial security. As to the actual costs of a park home, these of course vary according to the model chosen and the market value of the land on which the home is situated – precisely the same factors in other words, which influence the price of a conventional house.

You sign a contract agreeing to purchase a park home. You must also enter a written agreement with the park home to live on their land in accordance with the The Mobile Homes Act 2013.  You can view an example copy of the Written Statement by clicking here

This covers charges such as the care taker who manages the communal landscaping, CCTV, secure vehicle and pedestrian gated access and communal lighting.
