Buying a park home: the process
Paying the seller and transferring the pitch agreement to you
If you decide – after reviewing the information and documents – that you want to buy the park home, you and the seller should agree a date to complete the sale, and agree how payment will be made.
On the agreed date you will need to make payment (90% of the sale price) to the seller.
Assignment form
After payment, you and the seller use the assignment form to transfer the pitch agreement to you.
The assignment form will confirm the purchase price, the commission payable to the site owner, details of the pitch fee and the seller’s forwarding address for future correspondence.

- for England: GOV.UK: assignment form: park homes
- for Wales: Welsh Government: assignment of park home (form)
If you’re buying from a park home owner, you will need to give the site owner the seller’s forwarding address when you notify the site owner that you are the new owner of the home.
Make sure you have the seller’s forwarding address and that you have been given all the correct paperwork, including the agreement, written statement and site rules.
Notice of assignment form
You must send the site owner a notice of assignment form within 7 days of the pitch agreement being transferred to you. This form tells the site owner that you have bought the park home. It also asks for the site owner’s bank details for payment of commission.

Pay commission to the site owner
Park home site owners are legally entitled to a maximum 10% commission on the sale price of a park home.
This means that you’ll pay 90% of the agreed sale price to the seller, and you’ll keep back 10% to pay to the site owner. For example, if you buy a park home for £50,000, you’ll pay £45,000 to the seller and £5,000 to the site owner.
You pay this within 7 days of the site owner giving you their bank details.
