Tingdene communities are known for their strong sense of camaraderie and support. You’ll find yourself forming new friendships and enjoying a vibrant social environment. 

2. Make Sure Equity Release Really Releases You

Many homeowners find that after years of property ownership, their home has significantly appreciated in value. If you’re nearing the end of your mortgage payments—or have already paid off your home—downsizing can unlock considerable equity. 

By moving to a Tingdene residential park you can use your equity to buy a quality built home, with a ten year warranty and low maintenance costs. As you start to think about doing less work, your equity will start to work hard. Release yourself into a lifestyle that feels like a holiday every day. From Bedfordshire to Berkshire, from Cambridgeshire to Cheshire, Tingdene has 28 parks across the UK to suit your lifestyle.

3. From Start to Furnish

When moving to a residential park home you can choose to move into a complete home. A dream home. With everything done for you, and the place fully furnished and equipped, you’ll be starting a new life with the minimum of hassle. Start as you mean to go on.

4. Enhanced Accessibility

As we age, our housing needs evolve. Downsizing offers the opportunity to move to a more accessible property. The park homes available at Tingdene residential parks are designed with accessibility in mind, making daily life easier and more comfortable. Most homes offered on Tingdene parks offer parking directly to the side of the home so you can drive up and unload the car with ease. There is also the option to add a ramp accessway to your front door to further enhance the home’s accessibility. 

From properties with minimal stairs to those with user-friendly layouts, every aspect is considered to enhance your quality of life.
