- Is the validity of my home's insurances dependant on regular maintenance?
The validity of your home’s insurances can depend heavily on regular maintenance. Proof of regular home maintenance is particularly important if you have to make a home insurance claim.
- Is it correct that failing to repaint your park home within specific intervals can result in insurance claims being refused?
Yes, the majority of park home insurance and warranty providers insist that you repaint your home with the manufacturers’ recommended products. This should be carried out prior to your home becoming two years old, then repainted at three year intervals thereafter. Failing to comply will result in a claim being refused on the grounds of having a lack of maintenance carried out.
- So if I paint my park home, then none of my insurance claims will be refused?
This is not necessarily true. While it will prevent the refusal of your claim when it comes to the exterior of your home, it will not cover you for having a lack of maintenance carried out on the rest of your home.
- Is it important to carry out all of the regular maintenance on my park home that’s suggested by park home manufacturers?
In our experience we have found that complying with park home manufacturers’ maintenance recommendations is especially important when it comes to preserving your park home in a damp and windy climate.
It’s surprising that even small cracks round a window or door seal can cause considerable damages. There was an occasion where a park home owner suffered water ingress in the walls of his home through small cracks and splits, and he was later given a massive five figure bill to repair the damages!
- If I wanted to sell my home, how do I know it is ready for sale?
There are many steps to preparing your home for sale. However, one of the steps that is involved in this process is making sure there are no damages to your home.
We provide a written Inspection Report service which involves investigating all aspects of your home to confirm that there are no damages, or if there are any damages, recommendations on how to repair them.
