They are made to different BS numbers. A static caravan is designed for holidays and although will have insulation and some form of heating is not for all year round living. A park home is designed as a permanent home and has higher standards of heating and insulation as well as being of different external construction.0 -
Some of their Devon sites look a bit remote. Is this what they are after? You mentioned Paignton in another post and I'm sure those parks are nearer shops & facilities.
I do know the areas around the Rydon & Ringswell ones in Exeter. 12 years ago the Rydon one was on the edge of the city. Now it is surrounded by a huge housing estate, Tesco Extra, KFC, Pizza Hut and small retail park. Ringswell is close by and both are served by a busy ring road. I would strongly recommend you all to come and view the parks and think about what you want from the local area.0 -
Hi,
My Mum and Dad have had enough living in rainy Oldham and along with my Nan are looking to relocate to a residential/retirement park in Devon.
They are looking at either buying a new mobile/park home from here
or possibly buying a home already on a plot.
Does anyone have any experience with these type of homes and give some advice on what the setup is like?
If they were to buy a new unit and not one already sited, what are the transport fees like?
Do you have to buy the plot of land the home is to be situated on within the park or do you just pay the site fees each year?
Is it cost effective?
They are going to York to see the Tingdene factory and get some further advice in a couple of weeks, but I was hoping I could arm them with some advice before they go.
How are you getting on with your purchase?
Been looking at purchasing myself but have heard so many horror stories really beginning to doubt if it's worth taking the risk of losing all my capital from bricks and mortar house0
