Park Home & Holiday Living Magazine Residential Parks Guide 2014 Edição especial

An introduction to your 2014/15 park home buyers’
bible from Editor Alex Melvin...
Before I started working in this unique sector, I wasn’t
fully aware of the scale and scope of the UK park
home scene. Like many other ‘park home virgins’, I
had no idea that there are thousands of parks up and
down the country. I was also completely blind to the
benefits this wonderful lifestyle affords.
But eight years after my own park home journey begun, and having
met residents and site owners at hundreds of parks, things could not be
more different.
I have witnessed first-hand just how this lovely way of life offers home
owners a sense of security and community, as well as exceptional valuefor-
money, often at a crucial stage in their lives.
All the best parks, like our sister magazine Park Home & Holiday
Caravan’s current ‘Park of the Year’ champion, Pant Mawr, in Harlech, give
their residents all of this is spades. Residents enjoy a superb social scene,
holidays together and the peace of mind that comes with living on a top
park that boasts state-of-the-art homes, an immaculate infrastructure and a
caring park owner.
Our 2014/15 edition of the Residential Parks Guide will provide you
with a great way into this lifestyle. Turn to page 61 and you will find our
1,300+ park compendium, which lists parks alphabetically by region.
This unrivalled park search tool is undoubtedly Britain’s best printed
guide. Pop your copy in your handbag or your car and you’re almost ready
to begin your park adventure!
Before you begin though, don’t miss our expert advice, ranging from
reviews of brand new homes, buying tips and legal help to in-depth park
profiles and interviews with residents.
After absorbing the key information in our all-new guide and visiting
your first few parks, I’m certain that you’ll feel exactly like I do about this
welcoming lifestyle… that it’s the best retirement option out there!
