Tingdene Residential Parks, one of the UK’s top providers of luxury park home communities, is excited to introduce its Beginner’s Guide to Park Home Living. Tailored for those over the age of 45, this all-encompassing guide covers key aspects of park home living, from financial benefits and legal considerations to the personal experiences of current residents.
“Making the decision to move into a park home is a big step, and we want to make sure it’s an informed one,” stated Toni Norman, Senior Marketing Manager at Tingdene Residential Parks. “This guide helps potential residents understand everything from financial security to the strong sense of community our parks foster.”
Park homes present a distinctive alternative to traditional retirement housing. They provide a low-maintenance, secure environment where retirees can enjoy a tranquil lifestyle, all while retaining the comforts associated with homeownership. The Beginner’s Guide explains how park homes differ from traditional properties, highlighting their ease of living and community-focused design.
One of the main attractions of park home living for retirees is the financial freedom it offers. Park homes are generally more affordable than conventional homes, allowing residents to downsize while unlocking equity for other pursuits. Additionally, with no stamp duty and options such as part-exchange and assisted move schemes, the transition to park home living can be financially straightforward.
“Moving here has not only given us financial security but also freed us from the upkeep of a big house,” explains John, a Tingdene resident. “We were able to unlock equity from our previous home, and now we have more time and money to enjoy life.”
The guide also clarifies the legal considerations when buying a park home. Unlike traditional homeownership, park homes involve purchasing the home itself while leasing the land it sits on. The guide covers important legal concepts like pitch fees, Security of Tenure, and the Mobile Homes Act 1983, which safeguards the rights of park home residents.
“We aim to make the legal side of things simple to understand, so new residents can feel confident,” added Martin West, Commercial Manager. “Our guide explains everything clearly, ensuring no one feels overwhelmed by the process.”
To give a real insight into park home living, the guide features stories from current residents who have made the move. For example, Mrs S shares her experience: “We wanted a change, but we didn’t want to give up our independence. After moving to Badgerwood Park, near Wokingham, Berkshire, we found not only a beautiful, easy-to-manage home but also a community that’s incredibly welcoming. We’re still close to family, and we’ve made new friends. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and socialising.”
Another resident, Mrs F, who moved to Hazelgrove Park, Saltburn by the Sea, North Yorkshire, to enjoy coastal living, shares: “We’re just a short walk from the sea, and it’s like a dream. Our home is easy to maintain, and we love the quiet walks along the beach. We have a lovely garden now too, which is just right for us and our dog.”
These testimonials showcase how Tingdene’s parks provide more than just accommodation – they offer a fulfilling, active lifestyle in retirement.
