Over 200,000 people in the UK live in mobile homes, some through choice and others because it is the only housing option available to them. This section explains what to do if you are interested in buying or renting a mobile home.

What is a mobile home?

Mobile homes can vary greatly in size and type. A mobile home could be:

a caravan

a trailer or motorhome

a prefabricated bungalow (also called a park home).

The page on mobile homes rights explains the legal definition of a mobile home.

Prefabricated park homes

Prefabricated mobile homes in a residential park can be as warm, comfortable and permanent as traditional 'bricks and mortar' homes, and can come complete with central heating, double glazing, a garden and car parking area. Well insulated, they are relatively cheap and easy to maintain. In addition, residential parks often provide a safe, friendly community atmosphere, offering on-site facilities and social opportunities such as a residents' committee, babysitting rings and other clubs and associations.

Caravans and motorhomes

Other options, however, such as caravans and motorhomes, do not offer such a satisfactory long term option. Caravans can prove inadequate in the face of Scotland's wet and windy weather, and should only be considered as a temporary measure. Cramped quarters, poor heating facilities and lack of ventilation can lead to health and safety problems, including an increased risk of fire and of residents suffering from stress-related or respiratory illnesses and even carbon monoxide poisoning.

Why choose a mobile home?

Mobile homes are an economical housing option. Some people, particularly those of retirement age, choose to move into mobile accommodation, often selling traditional property to do so. In many rural areas, however, where there is not enough council housing available and holiday home owners are pricing local residents out of the housing market, a mobile home may be your only option.

What should I consider when looking for a mobile home?

When you buy or rent a mobile home, you need to think about:

what the home itself is like

where you're going to put it.

Can I put a mobile home on my own land?

Even if you own land to put a mobile home on, you will need planning permission and a site licence, which you can obtain by writing to the council. The page on renting or buying a mobile home on a site explains what you should consider when looking at sites.

Are there safety standards for mobile homes?

Yes! Park homes should be built to British Standard BS3632. Various schemes exist, to ensure that park homes comply with these standards. Make sure any mobile home you buy or rent is covered by a warranty.

What are my rights if I buy or rent a mobile home?

Unfortunately, tenants or owners of mobile homes don't have as many rights as tenants or owners of traditional houses or flats. This is because different laws apply to mobile homes. Check your rights:

Why is it called off-grid?

corporate.enelx.com - Enel X: off the grid and self-consumption difference

Being off the grid means not being physically hooked up to utilities by wires, pipes or cables. Off-grid homes therefore rely completely on their own energy sources, which can often be renewable energy sources such as the sun and the wind. When a building is off the grid, it means it has no physical connection or relationship with any sort of utility, and all the power it uses comes from an energy source that it generates and stores on its own. The term self-consumption is different from living totally off the grid, because it involves being physically connected to the grid to draw power when needed. Self consumption means that homes, businesses or public adnimistrations generate their own power, and is an important part of today’s energy transition. In the case of homes, this typically means solar self consumption through the installation of solar panels on the roof. One of the advantages of self-consumption over living off the grid is that customers opting for the former can continue to use the electricity grid when the power they generate is not available (because renewable sources are intermittent by their very nature).
