Your Complete Guide
More and more people are buying mobile homes, and it’s easy to see why. Much cheaper than a traditional property and in many cases offering most of the same amenities and comforts, they are the definition of good things that come in small packages!
Whether you are looking to downsize, create an annexe in your home or just want to try something a little different, here are some of the most common mistakes that people make when looking for mobile homes for sale in Essex. This will help you to avoid them.
Not buying though a trusted company
Although it might be tempting to buy your mobile home directly from its current owner, this can come with a number of risks. You will have no one to guide you through the process and little in the way of protection if the sale doesn’t go ahead as planned. Buying direct can seem like a great way to save time and money, but in many cases it sees you spend more of both.
Not checking out a few different homes
We know what it’s like when you see a property that really feels as if it is ‘the One’, and the same goes for mobile homes! While your gut instinct is really important when you are making such a big purchase, you shouldn’t just go with the first mobile home that you see. Check out a few different ones to see how they compare and ask plenty of questions before you move on to the next stage.
Not thinking about your requirements
What are you looking for from your mobile home? Do you want one that can be built on a site of your choosing? Or are you looking for one that has additional features, such as a wet room? It’s really important to sit down and think about what you need from your new mobile home. You shouldn’t have to compromise, and if you do, that should be a decision you should come to yourself.
Rushing into a decision
Related to the above point is the last mistake that people make, but maybe the most common one. Buying a mobile home can be a spur-of-the-moment purchase for some people, albeit a pretty big one! It is really important that you don’t rush into the decision. Check that the home meets your residential requirements (i.e., can you live in it all year) and be sure to ask plenty of questions.
What to do next
As you can see, it is really easy to make mistakes when you buy a residential mobile home. By bearing all of the above in mind, though, you can make a purchase that brings you so many benefits in the short and long term. Ready to see which homes are available for your budget today?
