I am researching static homes, up to 100k.
Any suggestions, looking for something pretty decent if possible, delivery to the south west.

I used to work in a factory building static homes. Don't. They're all one and the same. Flimsy crap with cardboard walls.Any suggestions, looking for something pretty decent if possible, delivery to the south west.

The horror stories repeatedly popping up around them has me strongly suggesting some research in the various Facebook groups etc around their ownership and what to look for.
Seems to be the worst of home renting AND ownership, combined into something that depreciates quicker then any assert you could invest into!
Thought about a second hand posh motorhone?? At least you can use it to run over Chantel & Tyrone's children when they wake you up at 1am drunk and disorderly.

Horrendous depreciation, astronomical site fees and service fees, freezing in winter, noisy in the rain, wobbly in the wind. A lot of sites have a maximum age of 'home' allowed on their site (3-5 years iirc), at the end of which, it is worthless, you have to pay a contractor of the sites choosing a ridiculous amount to remove it, then start again. A money out of nightmares.
My parents bought one on a site, with decking. The decking was removed as 'not included in sale' with no option to buy. They had quotes for new decking, but only one contractor was allowed to work onsite, at three times the price of similar sites. An absolute scam.

There was a story in the news a month or two back.
One couple bought one on a lovely location - right next to a lake. A year or two in, they were told that theirs was being relocated - to a much less lovely location.
Eventually they tried to sell it back to the holiday park - who basically offered pennies, because it was in a crap location.
The holiday park owners seemed to have Lamborghini's etc. - the people who lived there, not so much.
