East Sussex offers a genuinely varied choice of residential park home living, from the seafront towns of Eastbourne and Hastings to the historic county town of Lewes and the market town of Uckfield. Buyers are drawn to the county for its combination of coastline and South Downs countryside, good transport links via the A27 and A21, and a slower pace of life within easy reach of Brighton and London.
Buying a park home is different from buying a traditional house, so it pays to understand how site fees, pitch agreements and ownership work before you view. Most residential park homes in East Sussex are sold on a leasehold or licence basis, meaning you own the home itself but pay a pitch fee to the site owner for the land it sits on.

Park homes are built to BS3632 standard, meaning they're designed for permanent, year-round residential living. Static caravans are generally built for holiday use and don't meet the same residential building standard.
Traditional mortgages aren't available on park homes because they're classed as personal property rather than real estate. Buyers typically pay in cash or use a specialist park home finance provider.
You'll pay a monthly or annual pitch fee to the site owner, which covers the ground rent and upkeep of shared areas. Pitch fees are reviewed annually in line with the Retail Prices Index under the Mobile Homes Act 2013.
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.
Many residential parks in East Sussex are open to all ages, though some operate as over-50s communities. Always check the site rules before making an offer, as age restrictions vary by park.
