Before buying a park home I spent a long time looking around the Internet to get an idea of how secure we would feel living on a park. There is a lot of negative information but I thought we would be really unlucky to find ourselves with an unscrupulous park owner. Also after reading through the Mobile Homes Act I felt reasurred although there were some aspects that still worried me or that I felt were unfair.
We went ahead and have a lovely place to stay that is not too costly to run and over the last two years has been almost all we had hoped for. A change of owners seemed to be encouraging, as anything I could find out about them looked positive. I hope our experiences so far are not typical of what we can expect in the future.
I'm not saying that buying a park home is a bad idea, we are still very pleased with what we have bought and where we live. All we expect is that all legalities are observed and we are treated with some consideration and really just as a valued customer. Something is needed in the Act that covers these homes in a fair way that still allows the owners to make a profit while protecting and enforcing the rights of the residents.
