5 Reasons you need a GoldShield Warranty

When purchasing a park home, you would expect to be buying into exceptional quality.  All new park homes should arrive with a manufacturer guarantee.  However, like most things in life, things do go wrong and levels of warranties differ between different manufacturing companies. That is why a GoldSheild warranty is provided by leading park home manufacturers and the National Caravan Council (NCC) and why GoldShield is the market-leading British standard for park home warranties in the UK.

What is a GoldShield Warranty?

A GoldSheild warranty offers park homeowners protection from financial loss should a park home suffer any inherent structural defects in the first ten years. An inherent (existing) defect is one that may not be found until siting and is something a GoldShield Warranty would cover. The problem may only become apparent after a number of years, this is why GoldSheld cover will last ten years.

A GoldSheild warranty will cover a number of parts of your park home, this will include;

• Windows
• Door frames
• Roofing
• Interior
• Exterior

Why Get a GoldSheild Warranty?

Just as you would take out insurance for a traditional property or for your possessions, you’d make sure to protect an asset or a car.  A park home, of course, is an asset with a little bit of a difference, as it may be one of the biggest financial investments of your life.  Therefore, taking out a warranty makes perfect sense.

What will you do if your home develops a fault week into ownership?  What if you don’t have the money to fix a significant problem?  If you’re going to enjoy your park home to the fullest, and if you want piece of mind, buying from a manufacturer with adequate warranty will give you piece of mind.

GoldShield is a name in park home warranty standards that we believe you should invest in.  You only have to see how many home manufacturers choose Gold Shield as the standard for warranty protection!

Save Money on Maintenance and More

If you’ve read our complete guide on park home maintenance, you will know that there are many different things you need to consider and pay for.  All park home agreements will expect you to take good care of your property.  But what happens when problems occur that you don’t expect to pay for?  Therefore, without a good warranty in place, it is likely going to be you that foots the bill.  That’s money you are probably better off saving for other things, as we’re sure you’ll agree!

That’s why signing up with GoldShield makes good sense.  When you sign up for a warranty, you will get protection for various problems and common issues. So, for example, if a manufacturer gets GoldShield approval, your home meets all the requirements.  You never have to worry about jumping through any additional hurdles!

If the thought of keeping up with repairs and extensive fixes is putting you off buying a park home, please don’t worry.  A GoldShield warranty will ensure that you have complete backing.  There are, of course, a few things that a guarantee won’t cover.  Therefore, we recommend you carefully read through the cover you receive from GoldShield before you sign any documents.
