Park homes are becoming an increasingly popular investment option for people who are of retirement age. They can be great value for money and come with a number of guaranteed safeguards and amenities which are not always available when you buy a conventional property. Here are three reasons why it could well make financial sense to buy a park home
Care
People choose to move into park homes because there are staff there to keep an eye out for them. Above all you should look for a family run business where you are not just another client. Every owner has different needs and one of the advantages of making the move is that you should have access to a warden onsite who can help you with your day-to-day needs and make sure that you are getting the most out of your property. That includes advice on any problems you are having, as well as information on transport and the surrounding attractions.
Safeguards
There are so many safeguards in place which make park homes a great investment. For instance there is something called a part exchange service which means that you should be able to get the full market value of your home. Homes can also be protected under the Gold Shield Ten Year Warranty which gives you a decade of protection. Then there is a full proof way to make sure that you are making the right purchase – many sites offer a Try Before you Buy scheme which is a failsafe way to make sure that the property is right.
Luxuries
One of the nicest things about moving into a park home is that you don't have to worry, they are all brand new and furnished luxuriously. Yet there is still the chance to put your personal touch to your surroundings as some companies allow you to design your own park homes.
That means that if you don't find a show home which is to your liking you can work on designing your own home in conjunction with architects and professionals. When a plot becomes available, you can coordinate with their list of local suppliers to make your home exactly the way you want it.
