Decisions to be made only be here fo 8 to 9 months a year due to travelling and staying with family

    Park homes/Log cabins ? My brother and his Wife sold up and moved into a park cabin. It was very nice, beautiful grounds, a real holiday atmosphere. However, initially moving out of bricks and mortar was liberating, he began to feel restricted and choked with regulations which became increasingly tighter and restrictive. Realising his mistake they decided to sell whilst the value remained the same. People were getting a bit worried of losing money due to restrictions, so trying to 're sell with the land owners conditions around his neck was proving difficult. He found a buyer and sold quickly. Regretting his decision to buy a cabin, luckily they found a nice house and were happy to be back on the Market.

    I lived in a mobile home for 11 years, i had it refurbished by an outfit called nuvex from northampton. I was never happy with it after the so called refurb, they were absolute bodgers but thankfully i sold it and made a good profit. I know live in a 2 bed bungalow. The trouble is that the rent goes up in line with rpi and most peoples pension is increased by cpi so year after year you will become worse off. The rules and regulations are also a completely ridiculous, insurance is very expensive and so is the lpg( gas) i am really glad i got out of it now and would not reccomend buying one either.

They have restaurants, swimming pool with Jim saunas and entertainment snack, bars, et cetera and with the Cotswold you’ve got cycling canoeing sailing and the list goes on what would the short staff at airports and delays and everything I think this isthe answer to to travel abroad the mini break for example, what were the teachers going on strike every five minutes and the slow breakdown of infrastructure having a caravan is that you can get there within a couple of hours and it’s great fun.

    Have always fancied one for years and years and have read a hell of a lot into the pros and cons. From my understanding of it all that is a negative investment from day one. Secondly, some camps near the seaside which almost everyone would favour charge fees in the region of £6000. For verification, i could name a camp in Cleethorpes which we stayed in as a reference. You are not allowed to construct a decking or landing yourself. It has to be done by a firm nominated by the Landlord. Being a retired builder I could cost it to a penny including Labour at a generous rate for quality work. The quote you are given by the Landlord is an absolute rip off as some of them at different sites are 75% more than the most expensive quotation I would expect. Then if want to sell, you have to sell it back to the Landlord who will offer you something like 60% lower than it’s real value. No matter which way you work it out, it is even worse than being involved in a time share and we all know what they are like.

    Thinking about doing this. These park homes seem built quite well, and seem luxurious enough to live lightly in. I'm single with no children at the moment and 30 years old. The prices of these compared to brick houses make it very tempting for what you get. Have you noticed any obvious disadvantages compared to a brick house yet? Also silly question how do you recieve your letters and mail? Does the postman come round? 😆 Does your specific home have a door number etc? Can you order stuff online to your park home? How does that work? Hope it's going well. Thanks

Site fees that can change there is a legal battle going on in Lancashire where the owners of the land are increasing fees and the residents are not happy at extortionate rates. The quality of them with any new build or new construction of these can be built cheaply with cheap materials. can you get insurance with these?

As I know, holiday parks don't allow these park homes to be rented out to others, example if I would rent 1 room via Airbnb, and stay in another room, as I know it would not be allowed? But if I will be the owner, I should be allowed to lodge my park home if I want to. Please let me know, thanks in advance. And same time is it only restricted to certain age groups, like example over 55?

    Best thing to do is google residential park homes or holiday park homes visit the sites and ask everyone who are there at the time what’s it like and what the owners are like ask loads of questions

    You got to expect rises but if you are residential it’s not to bad and if you pick the right one and do the home work on park home sites talking to people who own one and not the owners you get a better idea what to expect 💡

    You need to ask the site owner about that as they are all different, also depending on year of van ect, find a site you like and then enquire with them, usually they want you to buy from them, hope this helps, we are new to this also and making videos about our journey.

    We lived in a static caravan for 8 years, as nice as it is to live in one no way would i be buying one at those prices, slightly different as a "park home" i guess but still way too expensive, youd be better off buying a plot of land and siting one on your land at those prices.

    DONT DO IT….As lovely as that is, it’s not a residential park home, it’s a caravan. I have had caravans for many years, and had a similar van to that and loved it but it was a van, the park homes are much much warmer. It’s a lovely lifestyle but my advice is…don’t buy new, buy a park home, make sure the plot and site is right for you, talk to neighbors, check rules and regulations carefully. You will find a lovely park home site, they are purpose built, just like bungalow living, on nice plots with drives etc, good community and neighbors etc. Get it right and it’s a wonderful way to live, good luck x
