Re: Over 55s Park Home living
My sister and her husband moved to a park near Cleveleys near Blackpool. The properties are large static caravans fitted together side by side to make one large unit. Very comfy it is, too. They pay an annual ground rent for the plot and amenities such as water and sewerage and the usual electricity fees. Gas is from large propane bottles which need to be replaced from time to time.Re: Over 55s Park Home living
I moved with my parents into a park home towards the end of the 1980s. It was ok, but the home adjoined stables, so we had horrendously big spiders. And it was in the middle of the forest.Re: Over 55s Park Home living

Interesting reading thankyou . The place was amazing a perfect setting but the costs too high for me unfortunately .Re: Over 55s Park Home living
Aren't there some issues with park home sites. I'm sure I've heard of sites which insist a park home be replaced, at the owner's cost. Also when a park home is sold I'm not sure new owners are obliged to continue with the terms and conditions of the previous owner. There's been at least one instance here of park home owners being told to remove their homes from a newly purchase site - despite being assured by the previous site owners that they'd be able to stay for an agreed term.Re: Over 55s Park Home living
We seriously considered it when moving to Devon but as mentioned by others, we were not happy about all the rules and regs; can't do DIY on a Sunday, or hang washing out (not that we do) plus the property devalues like a car does. We viewed quite a few of them and some were really nice, big double ones with huge kitchens and views over golf courses and rivers but there was always that niggle that if the owners ever sold, they could sell to gypsies.
