Specialist Park Home solicitors
There are some, but not that many solicitors who specialise in what is the equivalent of conveyancing when Park Homes are purchased or sold and even less in numbers who are entirely independent of Park Ownerships and can deal with any subsequent dispute. Of course, expert help is never free of costs but if you want peace of mind when buying or selling - or if you believe you have a dispute where such independence is vital and need a solicitor familiar with all the tricks that some operators engage, our strongest recommendation is Tim Selley – contact details via the link below: Disputes with your Park owner – Do you have legal cover as part of your policy?
Your Home Insurance
When buying or renewing your home insurance policy, there are a number of choices when deciding the provider. A better one would be Paul Baker Insurance. Not only are their policies comprehensive, we are always keen to support anyone who gives something back. Paul has been involved in helping Park Home owners over many years, including through his national residents road-shows, the Park News magazine and in actively supporting the PHOJC led campaign for pitch fee review changes from RPI to CPI and sales commissions. There is always a friendly and knowledgable response to any inquiry and where you would become a highly valued customer and not just a computerised policy number. Vitally important is that you should ask about legal expenses cover - And don`t forget to ask about the 15% PHPF member discount, quoting the code PHPF/OFFER2022
