Just the begining of our quest

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all...

My other half and I are now counting down the days to his retirement, ( Not mine got a long way to go!!!)  and our quest is to find a lodge in Cornwall ( or that part of the world) and watch the sunrise... before i go off to work and he stays home.....

I have read a few snippets of information and begining to feel out of my depth, where do I start, what should i avoid. There appears to be a lot of wolves in the woods..... I,  sorry we would appreicate any advise, any webs sites to look at  etc.

The only thing we can tell you is we dont want to live on a holiday site, and we arnt looking for a log cabin, or static caravan. We have rented a couple of times a lodge which we loved and we have only looked a brand new one once.......

Hello  Ladybug  and  other  half  to  retire  soon lol...nice  to  meet  you...well  all  I  can  say  is  do  plenty  of  groundwork  yes  there  are  wolves  out  there  but  good  people  too...look  at  lots  of  sites ,  talk  to  people  see  what  life  is  like  living  there...if  you  read  through  some  of  the  posts  in  the  menu  you  might  gain  some  snippets  of   things  that  will  be  usefull  in  your  quest, but  Im  sure  Ed  can  point  you  in  the  right  direction.................there  are  links  to  diffent  things  and  homes  that  you  can  download......can  I  wish  you  luck  in  your  search , hope  you  find  what  your  looking  for........evergreen

Hi  Ladybug   your  more  than  welcome, think  the  title  is  procrastinater  rofl   evergreen

HI Ladybug50 and welcome to the forum

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been away on family business.

We do have a 'Buying a park home' page and at the bottom of the page, you can click through to a 'Step by Step' Guide. I also recommend that you download the Government Park Home Factsheets, which you can find on our 'Downloads' page. The top two would be the ones you need to read - 'Pitch fees and other payments to the Site Owner' and ' Resident's Rights and Obligations'.

Once you are armed with all that knowledge, it will put you in good stead to proceed with your search!!

Ed.

Thank you all for the information, I shall set aside a big packet of biscutes and big mug of tea and start reading......

Hope you all have a great weekend, and dont get washed away, its very wet in my neck of the woods (Great Paxton, Cambs)
