In general, you've got three options: Remain a homeowner (selling to buy immediately). In other words, you want to sell so that you can buy somewhere else (whether upsizing, downsizing, or relocating) straight away.

This factsheet gives some basic guidance to owners of park homes on protected sites in England about selling or gifting a home.
A separate factsheet has been prepared for someone intending to buy a park home. We strongly recommend that you give a copy of that factsheet to your proposed buyer so the transaction runs smoothly and mistakes are avoided.
This factsheet does not apply to homes on local-authority traveller sites because the provisions in the Mobile Homes Act 1983 relating to selling a home do not apply to these sites.
This factsheet is not a full or definitive statement of the law and does not cover all cases. Ultimately, interpretation of the law is a matter for the courts and tribunals based on the individual facts of any particular case.
The key legislation governing the selling and gifting of park homes is contained in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Mobile Homes Act (as amended) and in the Mobile Homes (Selling and Gifting) (England) Regulations 2013.
If you need more advice or information about your legal rights or responsibilities, you should contact Citizens Advice, a solicitor or the Leasehold Advisory Service.
On 26 May 2013 important changes in the law affecting how you sell or gift a park home on private sites came into force. From that date:
•The site owner’s approval of the buyer is no longer required, even if your pitch agreement or site rules say it is. However, if you acquired your home before 26 May 2013 you will need to notify the site owner of the proposed sale.
•Your buyer will need to meet relevant site rules. However, any site rules which could be used by a site owner to block sales or interfere in the sale process are banned. It is also a criminal offence to put people off buying a home by telling lies.
•You and the buyer need to follow a set procedure and use certain forms when completing the process. Details about the procedure are set out in this factsheet and the forms can be downloaded from Park homes page.
The Mobile Homes Act 2013 places a number of obligations on both the seller and the buyer. A failure to meet these obligations could result in the purchaser or a site owner taking legal action against you.
You are, therefore, strongly advised to use a solicitor or someone with expertise in selling homes independent from the site owner when selling your home. Few people would sell or buy a conventional home without professional help and many of the same considerations and issues apply when selling a park home.
If you need advice about your rights and obligations you can contact the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE) on 020 7832 2525 or at https://parkhomes.lease-advice.org/. LEASE can provide free initial advice on the requirements, but it cannot help you fill in the forms or act on your behalf.
You should read the relevant sections in this factsheet as these contain important information about your obligations and rights.
•If you are selling a home you bought before 26 May 2013 you should read section 1, section 2, section 8 and section 9.
•If you are selling a home you bought on or after 26 May 2013 you should read section 1, section 3, section 8 and section 9.
1.1 You can sell your home on the site and transfer the agreement to anyone you choose. But if the site has rules your buyer will need to confirm that they are able to comply with them.
1.2 You do not need the site owner’s permission to sell the home or tell the site owner you are planning to sell.
1.3 You may use an estate agent and can choose which estate agent to use. Some site owners may offer a sales service. You should think very carefully before deciding to use such a service because you will be charged for it and your buyer’s details will be available to the site owner.
1.4 You do not need an energy performance certificate to sell a home. There is also no legal requirement to have your home surveyed and the site owner cannot insist on it. When you send details of the sale to the buyer you will need to let them know whether a survey has been carried out. The buyer can ask that this is done. If a survey is required how this is arranged and paid for is a decision for you and the buyer. You do not need to involve the site owner.
2.1 This section applies to you if you bought or otherwise obtained ownership of your park home before 26 May 2013.
2.2 From 26 May 2013, you no longer need to seek the site owner’s approval of the buyer. You will, however, be required to complete a number of forms during the sales process and notify the site owner of the proposed sale.
When you have found a buyer
3.2 When you have found an interested buyer, you must supply them with certain prescribed information and documents using a ‘Buyer’s information form’. The purpose of this form and the documents accompanying it is to give the proposed purchaser the necessary information to enable them to decide whether they want to purchase your home. 3.3 The information and documents that you are required to provide the buyer are listed in the Buyer’s information form. 3.4 You might want to send only photocopies of the documents at this stage, but you must ensure they are legible. You will need to sign the form confirming the information is up to date and accurate. If you are not able to provide a document or give certain information you need to let the buyer know why. 3.5 You can give the form and documents to the proposed buyer personally or send it to them by post. You must provide the information and documents at least 28 days before the proposed completion date. You don’t need to decide a completion date at this stage. However, if the buyer agrees to an earlier completion date, they must confirm the date in writing to you.
What if I haven’t got all the paper work or information?
3.6 If you are not able to provide some of the information or documents that are required to be given with the Buyer’s information form you must let the proposed buyer know what this is and explain why you are unable to provide it. 3.7 It is your responsibility to make all diligent enquiries to obtain the necessary information and documents. Failure to disclose may result in the proposed buyer withdrawing from the transaction and if you give incomplete or misleading information this could result in action being taken against you by the proposed buyer should the sale go ahead. 3.8 It is, therefore, in your interest to ensure all your paper work is up to date before you embark on finding a buyer. If you are unsure you have all the correct documents you are strongly advised to seek advice from a solicitor before marketing your home.
Agreeing a sale with the buyer and assignment of the agreement
3.9 The proposed buyer will consider the information you provided them and might seek further details or clarification. In particular the proposed buyer will need to satisfy themselves that they meet the relevant rules for living on the site, otherwise they could end up losing their home. Also, if you didn’t give them the correct information about the rules they may have grounds for taking legal action against you. 3.10 The site owner has no legal right to have or make contact with your buyer, even if the owner tells you they do. The site owner is not entitled to demand a meeting with or require an interview with them. 3.11 If at this stage your proposed buyer wants to proceed with the purchase and is satisfied that they meet the rules and can comply with the obligations under the pitch agreement, you will have to transfer the pitch agreement to them. This is called the Assignment. 3.12 You and the proposed buyer will need to complete an ‘Assignment form’ which gives effect to the assignment. The form provides confirmation of the agreed purchase price, the commission payable to the site owner and the pitch fee payable by the new occupier. 3.13 You must give the proposed buyer your forwarding address at this stage and also ensure that they have all the correct paper work, including the agreement, written statement and site rules. 3.14 You must also tell the buyer what they must do after the assignment of the agreement to ensure the transaction completes legally. 3.15 The site owner is not involved in the sale. You do not need to send them a Notice of proposed sale form. That form is only relevant if you became an occupier of your home prior to 26 May 2013 (see section 2 of this factsheet). Nor do you require the site owner’s consent to assign the agreement. You do not have to go to the site owner’s office to assign the agreement.
4.1 By law if you own and live in your home, you can give it away and assign the agreement (known as “gifting”) to a member of your family. You cannot gift the home other than to a person who is a ‘member of your family’ within the legal definition set out in section 5(3) of the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended by the Civil Partnership Act 2004). Your family member will need to prove they are related to you within that definition. You cannot gift a home if you inherited it, but are not entitled to live in it.
4.2 You are not allowed to receive any payment in connection with the gift. Neither is the site owner entitled to receive commission or any other payment.
5.1 Before you and your relative agree to the gift of the home and assignment of the agreement you must make sure your relative is aware of their responsibilities and liabilities should they agree to accept the gift. In particular they will need to know the terms of the pitch agreement, the current pitch fee and when it is next to be renewed and any other charges that apply, such as for gas, electricity, water or council tax. You will need to let them have a copy of the site rules so they can satisfy themselves they meet those rules.
5.2 If you and your relative are happy to go ahead with the gift you will both need to complete a ‘Notice of proposed gift form’ and sign it to confirm the information in it is accurate and up to date.
5.3 The notice of proposed gift form provides the site owner with confirmation that the person to whom the home is being gifted is a member of your family and where the park has site rules, confirmation that that person meets the rules.
5.4 You will also need to provide proof to the site owner that the person to whom you are gifting the home is a member of your family. (Note (ii) in the notice of proposed gift form sets out the relevant definition). The evidence which is acceptable is listed in section 1 of the form and is further explained in note (iii) in that form. Such evidence includes:
•a written declaration under oath explaining your relationship
•a birth or adoption certificate or
