Residential Park Homes
Seriously, have you looked at what is on offer in today’s market where residential Park Homes are concerned? They are boxes with windows. Boring, and about as aesthetic as a shoebox.
Over the years, we have seen a shift in design from the standard, awful looking, Eco Killing Poorly Insulated Standard Caravan, towards a more residential looking structure made from thin timber framing and gallery windows. Aesthetically nicer looking but still poorly insulated and way over priced.
Logcabins.lv design team once again brings to market an awesome newly inspired design that not just makes all other residential cabins or park homes look “yesterdays fashioned” but kicks ass where high insulation values and low pricing are concerned.
When buying a park home, or a static caravan, your main concern is that you have a warm comfortable homely environment, with all the mods and cons! (But should investment also be a factor?) And that your investment will reap rewards on turn of sale!
No doubt, most of you have done your homework and have looked at the second hand value of the Park Home units you are looking to purchase.And sadly you will discover that 99.9% of them are only worth a mere fraction of the original cost!
Our thoughts on this problem have pushed us to start to design Park homes that not only cost a lot less, but will hold their value, looking at what is available on the market at present we believe our build standards are way in front of anyone now and in the future.
Lets look closely what is available on the market to date.
After visiting 10 websites offering park homes, we have found none of them actually mention construction, only stating Plastic Windows, Doors, and a 40-year life on the metal roof, which is standard to all metal shingles. A lot of companies show modern furniture, bathrooms, and kitchens, most of which is either purchased from IKEA or China! If you take away all the pretty pictures of inside, what are you left with? Yep! a very thin, flimsy box with UVPC windows and doors. Starting price 80.000 pounds plus! Amazing value!!
We don’t think so!
It amazes us, when you look at what companies write on their website, they use wording like, amazing Finnish Pine, what is amazing about Finnish Pine? Seriously? Its Pine, amazing Pine comes from Northern Siberia. Its tighter grained and a lot less knotty.
Educating the public and being honest about what is really on sale is missing in this business, its “time-share” looking for another avenue to sell unsuspecting pensioners the dream!
Most of us saved as young adults to buy our first house; we then sold that and bought something bigger to accommodate the family, the profit from our first house helped us buy bigger, climbing the ladder, and all through our lives we invest in our property, adding extensions, summer rooms etc, all of us invest in the future for our children.
So we retire, sell the house, and look for an idyllic spot to have some calm in life, so you look on the internet and spot a park home offering amazing views and quality park home units, with photos showing fields and meadows, ponds and lakes.
You’re then given a brochure with amazing photos of park homes, looking modern, amazing, and as always sited on the park of your choice, and the cost for all this is starting at 145.000 pounds.
So, what actually are you getting for your money?
If your Park Home is 6m x 20m then a as part of the price you are given a plot of land on lease to stand your residential park home.
Questions to ask, is your residential park home highly insulated?
Is your park home an investment?
What kind of materials is used to manufacture your park home?
Will your park home qualify in say 10 years against any new regulations that might come from the EU regarding U vales, or building codes?
Is your park home made from building materials that will last 10 years? Are they graded? And what grade?
Is the furniture inside your new park home really worth the money it’s costing you?
What kind of insulation value does your Park home have?
Lots and lots of questions, and do you really need to ask them, well! simple answer to that is Yes!
Would you buy a car with faulty brakes?
Would you sleep in a room that was damp?
Would you buy a house that costs 10 pounds a day to heat?
Would you buy a house that would loose you money daily?
Would you buy a house that would need complete renovation with in say 3 years to meet building codes-regulations?
The answer to all these questions is NO!
We call our Park Homes” Houses” , because they should be of that standard of build?
Park Homes, are homes, they should be an investment, and secure, warm and homely. They should not loose money!
