I’m currently ‘living’ in a Park Home following my divorce after 25 years. I got a 3 bedroom static on a 10 month park with my two dogs but others have more dogs. It’s a wonderful place, everyone is so friendly and it’s on a lake with restaurant. £19000 for my static, paid outright, £3600 ground rent, £120 insurance, free water and sewage and waste collection. Only extras electricity and gas bottles. Gated and 24 hour security, love it ❤❤❤
@@SimplySheilaB thank you for sharing with us all Sheila and I hope your enjoying your life now and wishing you a great future, live your life the way you want to and hope your a subscriber and follow and help others who are looking at this idea of purchasing one, give them your advice and thoughts
We have a couple who moved from Canada to uk, who have bought one on site, great couple. Glad you are loving it and thank you for your input spread the channel for us over in Canada thank you 🙏
@@DazPreston69 funny you say that, we are thinking of doing the same thing. Parents emmigrated to Canada when we were 10 yrs old, now we want to come back. Wife born in Glasgow, I was born in Sheffield.
The important things to remember are most rules are in favour of the site owners, an ordinary van that isn't residential spec is bloody cold and would cost you a fortune in the winter in heating. Most sites insist you use their workmen for any jobs. And no matter how much your van and the decking costs you the site owners will pay you next to nothing when you come to sell it. So basically it's not an investment it's a eventually a total loss, some sites won't let you pass it on to family if you die. And of course if you annoy the site owners they wouldn't renew your agreement when it expires so don't get into an argument with them.
Totally agree as said in the video, this is what people need to check before buying it’s not an investment although we have been offered more than we paid for it and we know it’s not bricks and mortar but we have that too so we are very lucky that way. It’s great to have your input and much appreciated thank you 🙏
@@geoffharris9396 people need to do there research on what they are looking for and what they need out of buying one thanks for your input much appreciated
Hi Daz,great video as always.When you say you have bricks and motar too,i started getting a bit confused as originally i thought you were both completely selling up to be mortgage free and live "The caravan life"?@DazPreston69
We have a mobile home in Spain. 24/7 gated site security, over 50s only, no subletting, 12 months of the year occupancy, €4000 annual site fees which includes waste and bin collection, which might sound expensive but we also have site swimming pool, Gym, Bar and restaurant. Electric is free because we all have solar panels on top of the vans, Gas is in bottles t £60 per bottle and lasts around 4 months because everybody lives outside. Children can visit but cannot stay over which is a godsend, only 2 dogs per home and if your dog is out of control, or you are unsociable you are booted off the site.
I've always wanted a caravan, but they are so expensive. I've finished finally paying my mortgage, but I don't want to lose savings. My neighbour got a caravan from a show and got it reduced somehow. I'd love a caravan in north yorkshire. Especially since we retire in next 10 years.
It is a big decision to make, you need to find the right place and please ask the people who are there what it’s like ask not one but every person you see. I hope you are well and that you decide wisely don’t be materialistic and be 101% sure what you want if you have a doubt don’t do it. Hope you subscribe and share and thank you for your input on the channel

@@DazPreston69 Hi You did mention its bs standards so should be quite well insulated? I know some 2024 are Green marked and have 100 Insulation. What was the cost by the park ?
Site fees can vary from site to site and check on how old the van can be to be on site, our is fine and site fees are the going rate, we don’t have any shops ect and it’s what we wanted piece and quite
That’s the poshest van I have ever seen it’s lovely no expense spared
Thank you 🙏 just love my gadgets

@Pugsrus thank you 🙏 better giving people the best advice than the wrong one, thank you for your kind words and support
Please remember that you are renting the plot and without the plot a caravan is worth next to nothing
Loved the idea once, but hearing the dogs barking won't work for us.
It’s not always dogs barking here it’s quiet and relaxing ☺️
Hi
How much was your home and what make is it?
Thanks
It’s an ABI Beaumont 2023 price varies depending on extras ect
@@DazPreston69 Hi
You did mention its bs standards so should be quite well insulated? I know some 2024 are Green marked and have 100 Insulation. What was the cost by the park ?
@@topboyuk very cosy and warm
Venetian Blinds ?
That’s the one
What are the annual site fees and are there any other hidden costs or rules like having to replace the caravan after so many years.
Site fees can vary from site to site and check on how old the van can be to be on site, our is fine and site fees are the going rate, we don’t have any shops ect and it’s what we wanted piece and quite
Check out what is happening in America's park sites...its criminal.
Yea been watching them it’s shocking
