Angus's residential park homes are spread across towns and villages including Arbroath, Montrose, Forfar, Carnoustie and Brechin, each offering a different balance of coastal and countryside setting.
Most parks are aimed at buyers aged 45 or over, and many offer purpose-built homes with lower running costs than a traditional house, making them popular with downsizers and retirees.
Before you buy, check the site licence, pitch fees, and any age or occupancy restrictions carefully, as these vary from park to park across the county.
A residential park home is a factory-built home sited permanently on a licensed residential park, designed for full-time living rather than holiday use, unlike a lodge or static caravan.
Many residential parks in Angus operate an age-restricted policy, commonly 45 or 50 and over, though this varies by site, so always check the individual park's rules before buying.
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.
Alongside the purchase price, owners pay a monthly pitch fee covering site upkeep and services, plus their own utility bills and council tax, so it's worth asking for a full breakdown of ongoing costs before you buy.
Arbroath, Montrose, Forfar and Carnoustie are among the most popular locations, offering a mix of coastal-town convenience and easy access to the Angus countryside.
