How much do mobile homes cost?
Like any property, park home prices can vary due to a number of factors – notably ‘location, location, location.’ As they are smaller properties which are easier to maintain, they are invariably cheaper than brick and mortar, but popular areas may see higher prices.
Check what type of roof your mobile home has, as different roof constructions have individual features that affect costs – especially those with a gable pitched, mono-pitch, flat or truss roof.
Buying new will, as with standard homes, mean energy-efficient doors and windows with a higher initial cost but these which save on energy costs. Similarly, choosing a park home that is well-insulated with thick insulated walls, floors, and roof would increase purchasing cost but save money in the long run.
Note also that groundworks and services – such as site clearance, white goods, and furniture - are not usually included in the initial costs.
According to Quick-Garden, the average price range on the market in 2018 for mobile homes is between £110,000 and £160,000.
