GOLD SHIELD      
             TEN YEAR WARRANTY  
What is Gold Shield ?  
The Gold Shield Ten Year Warranty Scheme provides purchasers of new park homes with total peace of mind . Gold Shield was launched in 1987 as a statement of confidence in the quality and durability of park homes and there are currently nearly 750 parks registered with the scheme and over 6,500 park homes are covered.
The Gold Shield Ten Year Warranty is managed by a Board of Trustees from the park homes industry and administrated by the National Park Homes Council. Gold Shield operates an independent financial reserve, financed by the park home manufactures, which ensure that homes registered under the warranty benefit from full structural cover for a ten year period.
 The Gold Shield Warranty is available FREE OF CHARGE to park home owners. These benefits are provided alongside and in addition to your purchaser's rights under the law. Your responsibility is to ensure that you take good care of your home, including maintaining regularly the coated exterior surfaces, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Gold Shield is a warranty to cover rectification work in the unlikely event of a failure or defect in the structure of your home for a period of ten years. Decorations, appliances and furnishing, purchased as part of your home originally, are also covered for the initial period of the warranty as specified overleaf

How do i obtain Gold Shield cover?
 
BUY YOUR HOME FROM A GOLD SHIELD REGISTERED PARK. Your first step is to confirm with the park manager that the park is registered with Gold Shield before you purchase your home. This ensures that the home complies with BS 3632, a British Standard which certifies that the home is suitable for year round occupation, and that it is sited professionally in accordance with the exacting requirments of Gold Shield.

How can I register my home ?

When you purchase your home you will receive a Purchaser's Warranty Application Form.You and the vendor, normally the park owner, will complete the form and send it to Gold Shield.
The vendor will also give you a Purchasers Warranty Agreement.
Gold Shield will send you a Warranty Certificate confirming your cover, to keep with your Agreement.

Can the cover be transferred ?

If the home is sold during the first ten years, the remaining unexpired years may be transferred to a new owner. A change of ownership form, on the reverse side of the Purchasers Warranty Certificate, is completed and returned to Gold Shield. A new Purchasers Warranty Certificate is then issued.
