FAQs Relating To The Cheapest Park Home Insurance

It is not unusual to hear familiar questions relating to the subject of the cheapest park home insurance, given the importance of price to many of us these days.

What is the cheapest park home insurance around?

That might be a slightly risky way to start off trying to find or check your park home cover.

What is cheap to someone else may not seem cheap to you if it simply does not meet your minimum expectations of park home insurance.

A more rounded approach might be to look for the cover you think you need then to decide if it is offering you a cost-effective solution.

What risks do I need to cover?

That depends upon your individual situation but the classic risks are of natural disasters that affect your property and possessions plus, unfortunately, the risk of illegal human intervention via theft and burglary etc.

Note also that sometimes a problem can have what are termed knock-on effects.

This may, for example, include the loss of a place to live until damage is repaired etc.

Some policies may cover these consequences through the provision of, for example, temporary accommodation. It is something perhaps worth thinking about.

Is my static caravan a park home?

Typically – no.

Insurance providers typically see a static caravan as a location where you spend a few weeks each year on holiday. It is not your permanent place of residence and has its own insurance requirements (ie. static caravan insurance).

Park homes, by contrast, are your place of domicile and are located on a formally designated (by the local authorities) park home site.

The insurance for the two is typically not interchangeable.

What can I do to check for flooding risk?

Sometimes, your insurance premiums may cost a little more if your park home is located in an area with a known history of river, lake or sea flooding.

There may not be much you can do personally to affect the implications of that in your insurance premiums (some flood defence works may affect insurers’ perceptions), however, you can check the position through the local authorities and local press.

In summary, the cheapest park home insurance for you may be the one that offers you the most appropriate level of protection at a price that you find reasonable.
