Worcestershire's park homes range from established residential parks near Worcester and Kidderminster to quieter sites close to Redditch, Droitwich Spa and Bromsgrove, giving buyers a choice of settings within easy reach of shops, GP surgeries and public transport.
Most park homes are sold on a pitch agreement rather than a traditional freehold, with an annual pitch fee covering ground rent, site maintenance and communal facilities. Many residential parks also apply an age restriction, commonly 45 or 50 and over, so check the site rules before you make an offer.
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.
No personal planning permission is needed to buy an existing park home, as the site already holds a licence for residential use. Always check the site licence and any age or occupancy restrictions before you buy.
Yes, park homes on residential sites are licensed for permanent, year-round living, unlike holiday lodges and static caravans which have a closed season. Check that the specific site holds residential rather than holiday-only status.
Alongside the purchase price, expect an annual pitch fee, council tax, utility charges, and possibly a service charge for shared grounds. Ask the site owner for a full written breakdown before you commit.
