Do park homes hold there value?
Despite a newly built park home usually lasting over 70 years, and sometimes even longer if they are maintained well enough, they do depreciate in value and don't offer the same investment value that traditional homes do.
How long do Park Homes last?
While more robust than a static caravan, park homes, unlike most bricks and mortar properties, are not built to last for centuries. Despite this, park homes typically have a lifespan of between 40 to 70 years, though this depends on a number of factors such as location, maintenance and yearly checks. If you need someone who offers yearly checks, Happy Camper offer this service and can ensure your park home is kept to a high standard across the North West, North Wales and many other locations across the UK.

Is it worth buying a Park Home?
Park homes can function as either a permanent residence or a holiday home. If you are considering downsizing and living full-time in a park home, it's often an excellent investment—as buying and running costs tend to be much lower and the sense of community is a big part of owning a park home.
