Choosing your next move for retirement can be a difficult decision to make. Park homes, presenting many benefits to retirees, are often overlooked, with many often surprised as to what they have to offer. Contrary to popular misconception, they’re not static caravans but small homes designed with practicality and ease in mind, offering more freedom, comfort, and value than a typical brick-and-mortar house.

In this article, we cover just some of the many benefits park homes offer and why they might be just perfect for your next chapter.

Free up capital

For many, choosing to sell your brick-and-mortar house to purchase a park home leaves a life-changing surplus of funds. Relieving yourself of the financial stress that comes with having all your hard-earned money tied up in a property leaves you able to really enjoy your retirement.

Downsizing offers a lot more than just freeing up capital, but also lower running costs. With less land and the park’s grounds maintained for you, less space to heat, and excellent insulation as standard, park homes are cost-effective to run.

Finding community

Moving to a park home in a development, you’ll place yourself within a community filled with like-minded people of a similar age and stage of life. You could make friends, or you could go about everything on your own, but you’ll always have friendly faces around you to look out for you.

Secure surroundings

With community comes security. Park home developments are usually situated in a low-crime areas, such as in small villages. Parklands of Lincoln’s for example is located in Waddington, Lincoln, tucked away right next to the RAF base.

Most parks have gated access and CCTV in place to act as an effective deterrent. The chances of crime are very low, so you can rest knowing you’re in a safe location. If anything were to happen, there would be recorded evidence.

Chores become easy

Cleaning and maintaining a larger property can take hours each week. Park homes offer a smaller, more manageable space, freeing up more precious time that was once spent on laborious tasks to do what you love.

Made To Order

Buying a park home new, they don’t come as standard. From the colours to the layout, you get to choose it all so that it best suits you. For many, this is an attraction, particularly if you’re moving because your old house no longer suited your needs.
