Josiah Hincks Solicitors in Leicester can assist you in the either the purchase or sale of a Park Home. Park Homes are sometimes referred to simply as “pitches” but are technically mobile homes. Park homes are designed to be lived in permanently, although they can be “leisure lodges” usually where the site is close to a usual holiday destination.

It is important that a process is followed which is set out in European Regulation known as The Mobile Homes (Selling and Gifting) (England) Regulations 2013 (“2013 Regulations”).

  • Provide a copy to the buyer of any charges on the property.
