Park homes in Merseyside appeal mostly to people already living in the area who want to release money from a house without leaving the neighbourhood. A park home is a permanent residence on a site with a residential licence, so you can live there all year and register it as your address. Check that licence first, because a holiday park cannot be your only home no matter how long its season runs. Ask for the written agreement early, since it sets out the pitch fee, what the review formula is, and what the park is responsible for. Age restrictions are common, usually fifty or fifty five and over, and worth confirming before you view.

Buying a park home in Merseyside

Merseyside residential parks tend to sit on the edges of the towns rather than out in open country. Southport, Formby, Bootle and the outskirts of St Helens are the usual hunting grounds, and buyers here are generally moving a few miles rather than relocating, which keeps demand steady and turnover low.

Pitch fees are the number to interrogate. They are reviewed annually and the agreement will say how. Ask what the fee covers, what is billed separately, and what it has done over the last three years rather than what it is today.

Look at the home as well as the park. Ask whether it was built to the BS 3632 residential standard, how it is insulated and heated, and what the running costs look like through a wet Merseyside winter. A home built to holiday specification will cost noticeably more to heat.

Buying a Park Home in Merseyside: FAQs

Can I live in a park home in Merseyside all year round?

Yes, provided the park holds a residential site licence. That is what allows the home to be your permanent address. Holiday parks, even those open twelve months, do not permit permanent residence.

What are pitch fees and how do they change?

The pitch fee is what you pay the site owner for the plot your home stands on. It is reviewed once a year on the review date in your written agreement, and the agreement sets out how any increase is calculated. Ask to see the last three years of increases before you buy.

Is there an age restriction on Merseyside park homes?

Many residential parks restrict residents to over fifties or over fifty fives, and some also restrict children and pets. Restrictions vary park to park, so check the site rules rather than assuming.

Can I get a mortgage on a park home?

Not a standard mortgage, because you own the home but not the land it sits on. Buyers usually pay cash, use money released from a house sale, or take specialist park home finance. Ask lenders who deal specifically with park homes.

How do I sell a park home later?

Park homes must be sold privately, not through the park itself, though the site owner may occasionally buy it back. The site owner is usually entitled to a resale commission, commonly around 10% of the sale price, as set out in the written agreement.
