    Advising residents of their rights when dealing with their park owners.

    Our team members are residents who have studied the legislation relating to mobile homes, and work with Government to promote and review changes in that legislation. Our team members have many years’ experiences advising residents of their rights when dealing with their park owners.

    IPHAS is a voluntary organisation offering advice and information to anyone contemplating Mobile/Park Home Living or is already living on a residential mobile home park in England and Wales.

     

    Due to significant differences with legislation for Scotland, Park homeowners in Scotland should contact SCOPHRA – Scottish Confederation of Park Home Residents Associations – who provide advice and support to park (mobile) home residents in Scotland. SCOPRA can be contacted through their website http://www.scophra.scot/

    Park homes are not equivalent to bricks and mortar, and the procedure for buying and selling a park home is not subject to the usual conveyancing protocols.

    The Government fact sheets “Buying a Park Home” and “Selling a Park Home” give some basic guidance to the process involved, Links are shown below to obtain printable copies of these documents and forms.

    Although using professionals such as solicitors and surveyors is not compulsory for park home transactions, both the government and LEASE strongly recommend that you seek your own independent legal advice from a specialist in park homes.
