Top Tips for Selling Your Park Home Quickly in the UK
Selling a park home can feel daunting — especially if you’re keen to move fast. Whether you’re upgrading to a new model, relocating, or simply cashing in on your investment, the right approach can mean the difference between months of waiting and a quick, hassle-free sale.
At the Park Home and Holiday Park Association (PHHPA), we’ve helped hundreds of owners connect with serious buyers nationwide. Here’s our expert guide to selling your park home efficiently and at a price you’re happy with.
1. Price it Right from the Start
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is overpricing their park home. While it’s tempting to aim high, unrealistic pricing can turn away serious buyers before they even book a viewing.
How to set the right price:
- Research comparable park homes for sale in your area.
- Consider the age, condition, size, and any upgrades your home has.
- Factor in the demand for homes on your specific park.
- Be prepared to negotiate, but start at a price that’s competitive in today’s market.
At PHHPA, our listings attract informed buyers who know what they’re looking for — and they respond to well-priced, well-presented homes.
2. Present Your Home at Its Best
First impressions count. Buyers will form an opinion within seconds of seeing your listing or walking through the door.
Simple presentation tips:
- Give the exterior a tidy-up: clean the cladding, repaint railings, trim hedges.
- Declutter inside — spacious rooms photograph better and feel more inviting.
- Add fresh touches like flowers, clean soft furnishings, and natural light.
Remember, buyers want to picture themselves living there, so create a neutral, welcoming environment.
3. Professional Photography Matters
Listings with high-quality images consistently sell faster. Poor lighting, blurry shots, or cluttered rooms can undersell even the best home.
What to include in your listing photos:
- Full exterior shots (front, rear, and garden areas)
- Key living spaces: lounge, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom
- Any special features: decking, parking, views
On PHHPA, your photos are the first thing buyers see, so make them count.
4. Write a Detailed and Honest Listing
Buyers value transparency. A listing that clearly describes your park home will save time by attracting the right buyers and avoiding wasted viewings.
Include:
- Year of manufacture and model name
- Size (e.g., 40ft x 20ft)
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Park location and key amenities
- Pitch fees and council tax band
Notable upgrades (double glazing, new roof, appliances)
5. Advertise on the Right Platform
The wider your reach, the more likely you are to find a buyer quickly. While general property portals can work, they don’t always target the right audience.
That’s why listing your park home on PHHPA is so effective — our directory is built specifically for park homes, lodges, caravans, and related properties. You’re instantly visible to a targeted audience actively searching for a home like yours.
6. Be Flexible with Viewings
If you can accommodate evening or weekend viewings, you’ll reach more buyers. Some may be travelling long distances, so flexibility can make your home stand out.
7. Highlight the Benefits of Your Park
Often, buyers are choosing not just a home, but a lifestyle. Mention the benefits of your park — whether that’s a friendly community, on-site facilities, or a stunning location.
8. Respond Quickly to Enquiries
A delayed reply could mean losing a hot lead. If you can’t answer immediately, set up an automated acknowledgement letting buyers know when you’ll respond.
9. Avoid Common Pitfalls
- Don’t ignore necessary repairs — buyers will spot them.
- Don’t over-personalise the space — keep décor neutral.
- Don’t forget to check park rules — some parks have specific resale requirements.
