Residential parks provide convenience, quality of life, and peace of mind - as well as a secure living environment for about 200,000 people in the U.K.

By releasing capital tied up in a bricks and mortar property, or by moving from rented accommodation, such benefits can become an easily affordable reality for almost anyone.

Once inside a park home, there's nothing to suggest that you are anywhere other than in a fully equipped and luxurious modern dwelling.

There will be a good-sized living area and a separate kitchen, built in cupboards and wardrobes, two or three bedrooms and a fitted bathroom. Park homes normally come fully furnished with central heating, UPVC double-glazing and carpeting.

A park home is timber framed and provided with a tough and durable weatherproof exterior, plus a textured finish. Particular attention is paid to achieving a high level of insulation - often of a superior value to conventional buildings, so reducing heat loss and minimising energy bills.

Park homes are designed for easy maintenance and owners are most unlikely to be faced with sudden high repair bills, which is an all too common feature of bricks and mortar life.
