Standard home insurance typically covers brick and mortar properties. Park homes require specialist cover because they are constructed differently, using materials like timber frames and pre-fabricated panels. Our policy is designed to address these specific needs, covering risks that standard insurers exclude, such as:
- Non-standard construction repairs: Specialist tradespeople and materials.
- Site-specific liabilities: Public liability that covers the land your home sits on.
- Resiting costs: Coverage for moving your home if a total loss occurs.
- Comprehensive protection: Includes flood, storm, and accidental damage as standard.
Yes. In law, park homes are mobile homes and fall under the Mobile Homes Act 1983. They differ from other mobile homes in size and in how they're moved. Being classed as mobile doesn't mean your home has to move, only that it can.
Yes, the policy covers loss or damage caused by a wide range of standard perils, including fire, theft, storm, and flood. However storm or flood damage to gates, fences and hedges isn't covered.
If your home becomes uninhabitable following insured damage, the policy includes cover for temporary accommodation.
You are covered for temporary absences, but if your park home is unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days, certain standard perils will not apply
Yes, the policy includes Family Legal Protection. This provides financial support up to £100,000 per claim to help you and your family protect your legal rights. It also covers your legal liability as the owner of the park home and its land.
Yes, the basis of settlement for contents is the full replacement cost of replacing all items as new.
It is vital to choose the correct insurance based on how you use your home:
Park Home Insurance: For residential homes where you live year-round. This covers you for permanent residency, including alternative accommodation if your home becomes uninhabitable.
Static Caravan Insurance: For holiday homes used for short breaks. These policies often have restrictions on how long the property can be occupied continuously.
Our policy is specifically designed for residential park homes located on licensed sites.
