subject: No More Trailer Trash! [print this page] Everything is on the go in this day and ageEverything is on the go in this day and age. Convenience is the buzzword. A house with proper bedrooms, bathrooms, diner, and a living room couldn't have been assembled in a day a decade ago but it is possible now thanks to the new entrant in the housing sector - the park homes.
People are moving towards this trend of investing in park homes at an increasing rate. This is primarily due to the fact that constructing a conventional house has become too costly for them. On the plus side it adds to the many flavours of the housing sector.
There are many other advantages of choosing to live in a park home. Think of all the security and comfort that one gets living in a park environment. And besides, they require little maintenance too!
Park homes should not be confused with the gypsies'-mobile caravans. Park homes are an economically sensible option that has the comfort of living in a secure environment when living on a site with other mobile homes. Park home industry is growing by the rate of 20% every year which should not raise anybody's eyebrows since this sector offers such immense benefits.
The target market is varied across the world but in UK the Park homes inhabitants are the retired pensioners who want to live a peaceful life that can substitute a condo in Bahamas. Some of the park home owners even have the age flooring set at 55 years. It is greatly popular with empty-nesters whose children have left homes and have relocated elsewhere and the couple is looking to down-size to save for their future needs.
They are no more scene as trailer trash. This sector is now regulated by the Dept. of Communities & Local Government so park owners cannot charge exorbitant amounts and they have to meet all safety standards too. National Park Homes Council and the British Holiday & Home Parks Association also make sure that the park home managers abide by the Park Homes Charter.
This industry has been regulated much of its need. The inhabitants have the same rights as people living in conventional houses. To oversee this information dissemination the government is in the process of holding road shows across the country to make the park owners and inhabitants aware of their rights and also to explain changes in the legislation to the local authorities along with all the stakeholders.
The concept has gained such immense popularity that LA airport makes it staff stay in mobile homes near the airport.
