Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is a park home?

  A park home is a luxurious, low-maintenance property that is built in a designated factory to exacting specifications and designed to the same standards as a bricks and mortar property (guaranteed to last at least 60 years). Every aspect of a park home can be customised and tailored to your specific budget and requirements – your specifications are carefully adhered to during the production process to ensure every element of your dream home is built to perfection.

  Once completed, a park home is then carefully transported to the necessary Serenity Parks site and is statically sited at a pre-agreed plot.

• Q: How do park homes differ from conventional houses?

  Visually, park homes look very similar to traditionally-built bungalows with pitched roofs and attractive aesthetics, but park homes are built in a different way. Instead of being built on-site, park homes are built off-site and carefully transported to their end destination once completed.  This in no way affects their quality – Serenity Parks’ selection of park homes are offered full furnished, with modern interiors offering generously sized living areas, separate kitchens with integrated appliances, built-in storage, spacious bedrooms and a fully-fitted bathroom. In addition, central heating and double glazing are installed as standard, as well as carpeting throughout.  Serenity Parks partner with reputable and quality manufacturers whose homes meet the British Standard BS3632.

• Q: What’s the difference between a residential park home and a caravan holiday home?

  Although the two types of park look very similar, there are important distinctions between a residential park home and a holiday park home. Residential park homes are designed and built specifically for permanent occupation and adhere to the residential British Standard (B3632), whilst caravan holiday homes are usually constructed to different standards to reflect their temporary occupancy.  In addition, permanent residential licenses under the Mobile Homes Act are not given to holiday parks, even if they are open 12 months of the year. Serenity Parks are fully licensed for residential occupancy, but if you want to ensure you are protected by the law you can check the park’s Site License issued by the site’s Local Authority to be sure there are no restrictions on the site’s usage (for example, “for holiday use only”).
