Yes, on Residential Parks you will have to pay the appropriate rate of Council Tax as this will be classified as your main residence. The majority of Park Homes are classified under Band A, the cheapest banding. However, if in doubt please check with the local Council.

Our Parks are specifically designed for the semi retired and retired with a minimum acceptable age of 50 years – on Acresfield Park the minimum acceptable age is 55. Children are always welcome to visit but are not allowed to live permanently on these Parks.

Providing a Park Home, similar to any traditionally built home, is looked after and well maintained there is no reason why homes will not retain their value. Park Home values generally follow the trends of the general Housing Market.

Every Park charges a Pitch Fee. This monthly fee takes into account many things including a ground rent for keeping your home on a particular plot, the maintenance of communal areas on the Park including roadways and street lighting, staffing, third party liability insurance, the list goes on. Typically the monthly charges range from £121.33 to £232.20. For Wyre Vale Park and Lodge Park the pitch fees include the water rates but excludes the sewerage rates which are payable to United Utilities. For Gawthorpe Edge Park and Acresfield Park United Utilities bill the homeowners directly for both water and sewerage services.

The review date for each Park may be different. The precise date will appear within the Park Agreement. The review process is strictly regulated. In general pitch fees are reviewed annually and increase or decrease in line with the Retail Prices Index.

On all of our Residential Parks mains gas is available and homeowners are free to nominate the supplier of their choice. This is the same for electricity on all of our Parks except Lodge Park where the electricity is sub metered. Electricity on Lodge Park is supplied at cost and at a very competitive rate.

All modern Residential Parks Homes are built to British Standard 3632. Newly manufactured Park Homes exceed the energy rating of most standard traditionally built properties.

No. This rule relates to Parks with licences for holiday use and not residential. Under government legislation homeowners who live on Residential Park Home Estates are afforded security of tenure for an unlimited period if the Park is freehold. All of our Parks are freehold. You cannot be forced to upgrade.

Yes, there are, one of which is Park Home Assist. Please visit www.parkhomeassist.co.uk to request a free quotation or telephone 0800 988 0900.

There are companies who finance both new and previously owned homes. A repayment calculator is available below. However there are other options to consider such as Part Exchange or Assisted Move Schemes.

No. The purchase of a Park Home does not attract Stamp Duty which is obviously a saving in comparison to the purchase of a traditional bricks and mortar property.

Park Rules are there to ensure the good management of a Park and to ensure the health and wellbeing of all of the homeowners who live there. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to view the rules for each individual Park.

The Written Statement under the Mobile Homes Act, known by many as The Park Agreement includes the provision of security of tenure for the homeowner/s and sets out the Park Owner’s obligations to the homeowner/s and their obligations to the Park Owner/s. This is a very important document. Owners on holiday parks do not have the benefit of these provisions which are important to secure and enhance your investment.

Yes. Under the Terms of the Mobile Homes Act 1983 the government brought in the commission payment scheme as a way of ensuring that pitch fees payable on Parks were kept to affordable levels. The maximum charge is 10% of the full sale price.

You may move onto any of the Parks with not more than two dogs, or two cats or one dog and one cat – the dogs must not be of any of the breeds subject to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 – plus any pets or animals which are housed within a cage, aquarium or similar and which remain at all times within your home. Cats and dogs cannot be replaced when they die. The only exception to this rule is for anyone who requires a guide dog or an assistance dog. In such a circumstance all that would be required is a letter from the homeowner’s doctor confirming such a requirement and upon receipt written consent will be provided without delay.

This is available to all homeowners who live on Wyre Vale and Acresfield Parks.

These rules are in place to ensure acceptable standards are maintained on the Park which will be of general benefit to Occupiers, and to promote and maintain community cohesion.

 

They form part of the Agreement by which homeowners occupy their pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983, as amended.

In these rules:

“occupier” means anyone who occupies a Park Home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or any other agreement.

“you” and “yours” refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a Park Home.

“we” and “our” refers to the park owner.

None of these rules are to have retrospective effect. Accordingly: they are to apply only from the date on which they take effect, which is 14th December 2014; and

No occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been in breach of the rules in existence before that date.

These rules also apply to the Park Owner and any employees (for as long as they may live on the Park), with the exception to the following rules 1, 16, 22 & 25.

 

GENERAL

 

1. The minimum acceptable age for occupiers is 55 years and no person/s below that age may reside in a home on this Park. The Park Owner reserves the right to approve additional permanent members of the occupier’s household—a permanent member of the household means either spouse or approved partner. The approval must be in writing and that approval will not be unreasonably withheld in respect of someone aged 55 years and over.

The Park Home may be used by the occupier and bone fide guests. The occupier will at all times be responsible for the conduct of their guests. Guests may stay for a maximum of 6 weeks at any one time.

PETS

 

28. An occupier may move onto the Park with not more than two dogs, or two cats or one dog and one cat—the dogs must not be of any of the breeds subject to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991—plus any pets or animals which are housed within a cage, aquarium or similar and which remain at all times within your home. Cat and dogs cannot be replaced when they die.  The only exception to this rule is for anyone who requires a guide dog or an assistance dog. In such a circumstance all that would be required is a letter from   the homeowner’s Doctor confirming such a requirement and upon receipt we will provide the written consent without delay.
29. You must keep any dog or cat under proper control and you must not permit it to frighten other users of the Park.  You must keep any dog on a leash not exceeding 1m in length and must not allow it to despoil the Park.  Dogs must not be kennelled outdoors.

The express terms of an occupier’s agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the occupier not to allow anything which is or becomes a nuisance, inconvenience or disturbance to other occupiers of the Park and this undertaking extends to the behaviour of pets and animals.

These rules do not have retrospective effect.  If the pet complied with the previous rules, an occupier will not be treated as being in breach when these rules take effect.  However, when the pet dies it cannot be replaced except in the case of a guide dog or an assistance dog along the terms detailed in rule 28.
