Moving into a new residential park home is an exciting journey, but the timeline can vary. Understanding the elements that may have an impact can help you plan better and set realistic expectations when moving into your wonderful new home.
Factors That may Affect Your Park Home Move-In Time
If your home is custom-made, one of the primary factors is the construction time of the park home itself. Typically, it takes around 12 weeks for a manufacturer to build a park home. This period includes the design, assembly, and quality checks to ensure your new home meets all standards. Once the home is built, it needs to be transported to the park, which can add a few more days to the timeline.
Another significant factor is the time required for siting and connecting utilities. After the park home arrives at its designated plot, it can take up to 16 weeks to get everything connected and ready for you to move in. This includes hooking up to mains natural gas, electricity, water, and sewage systems. Additionally, any custom modifications or landscaping you desire can extend this period.

Moving into a new park home is an exciting adventure, and we listed these steps to help you visualise a smooth transition. Here’s a detailed and fun guide to help you navigate the process like a pro.
Step 1: Choose Your Dream Park and Perfect Plot
First things first, you need to find the park that feels like home. Visit different parks, chat with residents, and soak in the atmosphere. Once you’ve found your dream park, it’s time to select the perfect plot. Consider factors like proximity to amenities, views, and sunlight. This is your chance to pick the spot where you’ll create countless memories!
Step 2: Design Your Ideal Park Home
Now comes the fun part—designing your park home! Work with the manufacturer to choose the design, layout, and any custom features you desire. Do you want a cozy reading nook or a spacious kitchen for your culinary adventures? The possibilities are endless. Once you’ve finalized your design, the manufacturer will take approximately 12 weeks to build your home. Use this time to plan your move and get excited about your new space.
Step 3: Prepare for the Big Move
While your park home is being built, start preparing for the move. Declutter your current home and decide what to bring with you. This is a great opportunity to donate or sell items you no longer need. Create a moving checklist to stay organized and ensure you don’t forget anything important. Remember to notify utility companies, update your address, and arrange for mail forwarding.
Step 4: Siting and Connections
Once your park home is ready, it’s time for siting and connections. The home will be transported to your chosen plot and carefully positioned. Professionals will handle the connections for water, electricity, and gas. Final inspections will be conducted to ensure everything is in order. This step is crucial to make sure your new home is safe and fully functional.
Step 5: Move In and Make It Your Home
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the final step! Once you receive the keys, it’s time to move your belongings into your new park home. Take your time to arrange your furniture and decorate your space to reflect your personality. Get to know your new neighbours and explore the park’s amenities. This is your new home, so make it a place where you feel comfortable and happy.
