Who is Parkmove for?
Parkmove is for anyone looking to buy or sell a park home, lodge or static caravan. It gives you control over your property sale and helps you avoid those high commissions. It’s for the people who want their listings on all the major property portals along with round-the-clock advice.
What is a park home?
A park home is a detached bungalow-style home, typically situated on a private park. They are covered by their own legalisation - The Mobile Homes Act 1983, and provide an affordable and low maintenance alternative to a bricks and mortar home. This can be a term used for both leisure and residential properties but is typically used more for residential.
Can I live on a 12-month park?
A 12-month park refers to a park being open for 12 months of the year. This does not mean the park is for residential use. Leisure parks are typically open for around 9-11 months, this makes a 12-month park attractive to buyers.
Can I get a mortgage for a park home?
Unfortunately, park homes are not mortgageable. Loans and finance options are available from major lenders and larger independent finance houses.
What bills do I have to pay?
For residential park homes, you’ll need to make the usual provision for household bills. This includes council tax, gas, water, and electricity bills. We advise that you establish what these are likely to be before you buy, as you will have a better idea of what your outgoings will be.
Are there age restrictions?
Some parks may have age restrictions and only cater for people in or nearing retirement age. Most leisure parks are happy to accept anyone including families, couples and younger singles.
Can pets live on the park?
This is completely dependent on the regulations of the individual park, although many parks do welcome pets.
Do you need to pay stamp duty?
No, with the majority of parks being leasehold, stamp duty is not applicable. This is because the buyer is purchasing the physical structure of the home, and not the land it sits upon.
