Park Rules

Park Rules are put in place for all residents to adhere to. Before purchasing a home, you should review the Rules along side the Written Statement to ensure the mobile Home Park meets your needs. Any breaches in the Rules could lead to proceedings to terminate the Written Statement.

What's a "Written Statement"?

A "Written Statement" is the park home owner's contract with the park owner which details the right to occupy a pitch on the park. The statement should be accompanied by the park rules. When you are buying a home from the park owner, the written statement must be issued by the owner 28 days before you commit to the purchase, although you can agree to a shorter period if you are satisfied with the contents and want to proceed more quickly. If you are not buying your home from the park but from the present home owner, it is equally important that you understand and are happy with the contract before you go ahead. In either case, don't hesitate to seek professional help (for instance, from a solicitor or the Citizens' Advice Bureau) if you have queries or require guidance. There is a legal framework for the form and some content of the Written Statement and this provides the basis for the model documentation offered by the British Holiday & Home Parks Association. If you would like a copy of the Written Statement please ask us for one.

What is the Security of Tenure?

All residents whether purchasing a new Park Home or a previously owned home will sign a copy of the 1983 Mobile Home Agreement on completion of sale however a copy will be available to view prior to the sale so independent advice can be sort along with a copy of the Park rules.
