Buying a Park Home in Powys: What to Know
Park homes in Powys are built for permanent, year-round living rather than holiday use, making them a popular choice for retirees and downsizers wanting to settle in a quieter part of Wales. Many residential parks sit close to the Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog) and the market towns of Welshpool, Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells.
Most residential parks in Powys have age restrictions, commonly requiring at least one resident to be over 45 or 50, and operate under a written agreement covering pitch fees and site rules rather than freehold ownership. Pitch fees typically cover ground rent and the upkeep of shared areas and can be reviewed annually, so check the current fee and review terms before buying.
Park homes must be sold privately, not through the park itself, though the site owner may occasionally buy it back. The site owner is usually entitled to a resale commission, commonly around 10% of the sale price, as set out in the written agreement.
