Where to go for Park Home related Advice
Because there are only around 80,000 park homes in England, Scotland and Wales and because Park Home or Mobile Home legislation is so bespoke, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to go if you need help or advice. Fortunately, there are several excellent places to go to get really professional and helpful advice covering all aspects of park home living.
