The biggest difference is that Platinum Seal offers the additional peace of mind by being the only ‘insured’ 10 year manufacturer’s warranty within the park home industry, and therefore comes with all the benefits your customers expect from a properly insured, regulated and audited insurance scheme. In addition, Platinum Seal insured protection is available to more homes and more parks than any other scheme. It is not dictated by being on the right or wrong park. We also cover homes on own-land.

Each manufacturer is measured by their own claims performance and not that of other manufacturers. If another manufacturer experiences high claims, it is their premiums that will be affected accordingly, and they may not be able to continue with the scheme if this is excessive and does not improve. If you make few or even no claims, commercially the insurer would want to retain you as a client. If we were to increase your premiums significantly this may result in you going elsewhere.

There are three elements, which affect the premiums going forward, administration, claims, and inflation so let us briefly explain each one.

  • Administration: By opting for the online registration of park homes, this not only saves you time and effort, but also costs as there is no postage to pay. Park Home Assist Insurance Services (the Administrator) and the insurer do the rest.
  • Claims: The insurance cover is there for a purpose, for individuals to make bona fide claims. Just making a claim will not increase your premium, it is the number and cost of those claims which may do so.
  • Inflation & Compliance Costs: We like others would like to control inflation, however this is out of our control as well as the cost of compliance. Just like any other commodity, insurance and claims is affected by inflation and associated running costs, postage, compliance etc.

In summary, with the exception of inflation and compliance cost the rest is in your hands.
