Sales and moving in
Can I trade in my current home as part payment
Yes, our part exchange scheme offers a seamless and stress-free way to move into a new park home.

This allows for a quicker, hassle-free transition, so you can move into your new home with confidence and peace of mind.
How long does it take to move in?
For stock homes, you can move in as soon as the purchase is complete. If you’re designing a bespoke home, timelines will depend on the manufacturer’s schedule. We may be able to expedite the process and offer temporary accommodation on-site while you wait.
Can I sell my park home in the future?
Yes, you can sell your park home if needed. Our team can assist you with the process or provide advice on working with an estate agent experienced in park home sales.
