How Insurance Has Helped Residential Park Home Sites

Case Study: Storm Damage to Roads & Services


Situation: Severe weather washed away parts of internal roads and damaged drainage.

Impact: Access to some homes was restricted and urgent repairs were required.

Resolution: Residential Park Home Insurance arranged through Insure24 helped fund repairs to roads and services, restoring normal access and reducing disruption to residents.

Case Study: Fire in a Communal Hall


Situation: A fire in the communal hall caused extensive smoke and structural damage.

Impact: The hall had to close, affecting resident activities and meetings.

Resolution: Property and business interruption cover supported the cost of rebuilding and contributed towards lost income from hall hire, helping the community return to normal more quickly.

Case Study: Resident Injury on Uneven Path


Situation: A resident tripped on an uneven path and suffered an injury.

Impact: A liability claim was brought against the park owner.

Resolution: Public liability cover responded to legal and compensation costs. The park also implemented an enhanced inspection and repair regime with guidance from Insure24.

Case Study: Burst Pipe in Underground Services


Situation: A burst water pipe damaged underground infrastructure and nearby surfaces.

Impact: Water supply was disrupted and parts of the park required excavation.

Resolution: Residential Park Home Insurance supported the cost of repairs and reinstatement, limiting the financial impact on the site owner.
