    There was a thread few days ago about mobile homes. It didn't get many responses. I guess most of us on here have little or no experience.


    here it is

    hi , as in regards not getting in to a prk with a mobile older than 7 years all depend on which park you are trying to get into . I think I know which guy you are referring to and most of his parks have fairly new homes . There is only one or two parks who keep this rule which is in my opinion a money racket .
    I have a mobile in Wexford , its a lot older , I bought it on site , you are better off to have a look on Donedeal and the likes and try buy a mobile already on site where your water , plumbing, electricity etc is all ready to go . Different parks have different site fees per year anything from 1800e to 2500e this should include all plus bins .

    hope this helps , any other questions just ask :)

    Thanks for your reply.
    Not going to bother now.As you said,its a money racket.The brother-in-law knows a guy selling a decent mobile home so we were going to buy it together for both families to use.But I enquired to lots of places,most of them weren't interested in us taking our mobile in.Another guy had a spare site but quoted us €2000 just to take it in!!!I suppose we were naiive in thinking that we could just put it on a free site in a mobile home park and then pay the annual charges.
    Anyway,in this pissy weather,I'm glad we didn't buy it!!
