Buying a park home - viewing tips:

Follow our top tips and you'll soon find a park home that's perfect for you. Don't let your heart rule your head - even if the property feels like the home of your dreams, think practical. What sort of layout does it have? Is there a big kitchen or a spacious living room? Do the bedrooms boast walk-in wardrobes or en suite bathrooms? Is there central heating?

And then there's outside to consider: do you get your own driveway? How big is the garden? Is there garage space? Weigh up what you need and what you can afford. Will you be allowed to bring any pets with you? If the home is second-hand, ask the owners for its make, model and age. Find out whether any work has been done to maintain or improve it and whether this is guaranteed. Don't forget to ask how much your monthly plot fees and other bills will come to.

Finally, make sure you take out a subscription to Park Home & Holiday Caravan to keep up with the latest news, information and legal information you need, whether you’re a potential buyer or a new owner. Good luck!
