Mobile Homes

[Exigeowner]

I am helping out a family friend who lived in a mobile home on a site and due to ill health has been moved to sheltered housing.

The home is in not a great state and would for sure need a full refurb, its one of those places that splits down the middle and two sides joined to form one 3 bed unit.

As rental is no longer being paid the site want it moved and he is talking about scrapping it, Im thinking that it must be worth something, Is anybody in this field or know anybody or can make any reccomendations.

Many thanks

I don't think they are worth a lot, if anything. It's the transport costs that make it unviable.

Best bet would be to advertise it in one of those self build magazines. Would be ideal for someone wanting to live on site while building there dream home.

make up an advert and go to nearby mobile home sites and put it up in the reception...
where is it based?

gtr-gaz is correct - the cost of transporting then is the killer.

You basically have two very big caravans that need to be moved and then stuck back together, and then refurbished. That is going to cost a lot and I can't see it being worth while for anyone.

Round here, Skegness, you can get a perfectly usable static caravan for £300 but you have to pay to have it moved.

If it's not to bad have a try at getting the site owner to buy it. They might not give you much for it but it will gone.
