Park home sales are going through the roof at present as cash strapped people look at lowering holiday costs while also grabbing a real estate investment that can grow in value.

So, if you are looking into such a purchase what sort of things should you be aware of? The key, according to experts, is to fully understand the cost associated with ownership. It’s not just buying the home but the service charges and bills that often catch people out, so be sure to ask the current owners for a full list of these.

Also ask about guarantees as fixing serious leaks etc can prove costly. And make sure that you own the property. Often park home owners will rent it on a lease, which can catch people out.

Do your homework though and you can grab a great bargain and get closer to that dream outdoor lifestyle you so crave.
