Glasgow's park home options sit within easy reach of commuter towns such as East Kilbride, Hamilton and Paisley, giving residents a quieter pace of life while staying close to the city's shops, healthcare and transport links.
Most park homes are sited on residential parks with an age restriction, commonly 45 or over, and are governed by a written agreement setting out pitch fees and site rules. Prices vary by plot size, age of the home and the facilities each park offers.
Before buying, check the park's site licence, pitch fees and resale terms carefully, since these vary significantly between parks.
Yes, park homes are designed for year-round residential living, unlike holiday lodges or static caravans. You can use one as your main address, subject to the park's site licence.
Many parks are restricted to residents aged 45 or over, though this varies by site. Always check the specific age policy before making an offer.
Owners typically pay a monthly or quarterly pitch fee alongside utilities, council tax and insurance. Pitch fees usually rise annually in line with the agreement, so ask for recent fee history.
Traditional mortgages don't apply to park homes, but specialist park home finance is available through some lenders. Many buyers also purchase with cash or a personal loan.
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.
