To help you, if you are thinking of making this move, we have brought together some of the positive things about living in a park home.
It’s good to know that money and credit cards insurance cover is included as standard in a park home insurance policy from Park Home Assist.
With the hot weather set to continue, the barbecue season is definitely here. Everyone loves a long sunny evening, having fun with friends and cooking on an open fire, so it’s essential to barbeque safely. Taking into account the extreme hot weather conditions we have been experiencing, grass surrounding park homes and lodges will be extremely dry, the tiniest of spark can easily cause a significant fire.
You may be at a point in your life where downsizing to a park home becomes the right move. Perhaps to economise, particularly if you are retired, downsizing to a park home can make financial sense.
It’s best to avoid damp in your park home, as the damage it causes can be extensive and expensive to repair. Damp can also foster the growth of mould in your home, which can present a significant health risk. So, preventing the build-up of damp in your park home is something that could save you trouble later on.
Settling in to a park home community, particularly for the first time, can be an exciting time as you begin a new lifestyle. Living on a residential park is, in some respects, quite different from a bricks-and-mortar house on a regular street or estate.
Flood cover is becoming increasingly important, especially for park home owners in some areas of the country. In recent years, news of extensive damage to homes from storms, heavy rainfall and burst river banks has reminded us all that floods are a very real danger.
Owning your own holiday lodge and having a tranquil retreat away from the normal everyday life, sounds like a tempting idea for a lot of people. Not only are lodges more affordable and stylish then ever, the costs are often significantly lower than buying a bricks and mortar home in the same location.
Cover for your personal items is included as standard within your park home insurance contents whilst inside of the home. However, you’re very likely to take some of your contents with you when you go out. Personal possessions cover is an optional add on to your policy, which is designed to provide you with cover for those unfortunate times, when loss or damage occurs outside of your park home.
Home Emergency Cover is an optional extra that operates alongside your park home buildings and contents insurance cover. The cost for home emergency cover is £25 for the whole year. It provides the added assurance, that in the case of sudden and unexpected damage or failure in your home, which leads to an emergency, help is only one phone call away.
