What is a park home? Comfortable, affordable and low maintenance...
A park home is a detached bungalow-style home, usually set within a private estate, and is located on a plot known as a ‘pitch’. They are known as ‘mobile homes’ or ‘park homes’ and are covered by the 1983 Mobile Homes Act. Park homes are built to comply with British Standard, which ensures stringent health and safety requirements are met. They are light years away from the rows of tin huts, static caravans and piles of scrap which adorned the countryside from the 1950’s and 1960’s, around the time that the current site licensing regime began.
Call 0844 567 7300 / 0330 133 7300 6
Any Brand New Park Home is covered under a Ten Year Warranty. Park homes are designed for permanent residence modern homes are well insulated and have central heating, double glazing and energy-efficient boilers, meaning you can be warm and comfortable without it costing a fortune. They are easy to maintain, so you can spend your time and money on more interesting pastimes! There is great flexibility in design, layout and size. A Park Home usually has between one and three bedrooms, often with an en-suite, plus a sitting room, dining area, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. Most have manageable gardens and plenty of parking, and can have garages. Park homes come fully furnished although you can opt for them to be part- or unfurnished. A furnished home includes loose and fitted furniture, choice of flooring, soft furnishings and a full range of appliances. Park homes are connected to services such as water, electricity, gas, telephone, drains and sewers.
Once fitted with brick skirting they will give the appearance of a luxury bungalow with the quality to match (take a look at the photos!). The current generation of park homes are hand built to a very high British Standard specification, using two layers of marine ply fully insulated in between. The homes are finished in the same way and to the same standard as
bricks and mortar houses and carry the same 10 year warranty. The decra roofs are guaranteed for 30 years and homes have a life expectancy of over 80 years. Although capable of being moved, it is normal that they remain on the same plot. Modern Park Home Estates cater for the retired and semi-retired. Our parks now house professionals and include county and local councillors, accountants, doctors, nurses and engineers amongst others. We welcome retired professionals who are looking for more affordably priced homes locally or to downsize to release equity for their retirement. Although premium and luxury in design and quality, the park homes will sell at a price which is more affordable than an equivalent bungalow in the area without compromising on lifestyle. The park home will be purchased by the residents and the right tenure given under the terms of a 1983 Mobile Homes Act Agreement. This should give you a taste of how a modern Residential Park Home Estate looks.

Our hassle free Part Exchange Scheme
three local estate agents. We ask you to provide the details so we are not seen to be coercing the price. We will then arrange for the three agents to visit and provide to us the true market value of your home. We will also carry out our own research to make sure the information we are being told is correct. Once we are happy with the results, Wyldecrest Parks will make an offer to you for what we will buy your property for. Once the price has been agreed, Wyldecrest Parks will aim to exchange contracts with you within 6 weeks, setting a completion date for six months later or earlier by mutual agreement. This is when the sale of the property and purchase of the Park Home become legally binding. If your Park Home is available for you to move into sooner than the set completion date, you will have the opportunity to do so whilst your current property is being sold**.
Trouble selling your home? Not happy with your estate agent? Want to save hundreds of pounds in estate agency fees? Wyldecrest Parks has the solution for you. At Wyldecrest Parks we can relate to the stress of selling a property. The biggest hurdle is finding an estate agent who you can trust entirely. It is far too common for agents to over value a property in order to win your instruction. This results in very low interest from potential buyers within the first couple of weeks of the property being on the market, which leads to the estate agent asking for you to reduce the price so they stand a better chance of securing a buyer. The first two weeks of a property being on the market are the most pivotal. In order to make your move onto one of our prestigious parks as smooth as possible we can offer to buy your current property in part exchange for your new Park
Home. Our Part Exchange Scheme is unique to us and is designed to take away the stress, inconvenience and added work of selling a property, leaving you more time to plan your golden years. By opting to use our unique Part Exchange Scheme you will benefit from the following: • No Estate Agency Fees • Guaranteed buyer for you property resulting in a hassle free sale • Dedicated Sales Progressor • Option to move into your park home once contracts have been exchanged* After you have placed a deposit on your new home and confirmed you wish to proceed with our Part Exchange service, you will be asked to provide us with details of
Call 0844 567 7300 / 0330 133 7300 28

Most of our owners have grandchildren and they are more than welcome to come and visit and even stay over for a few nights. All we ask is that you notify the park office if they are intending to stay for a long period.
How large can the home be?
Pets are welcome on the majority of our parks.

This depends on the park and available plots. However, we can accommodate most park home sizes from single units to large twin units.
