Key insights

Whilst legislation has strengthened park homeowners’ legal protections, issues persist around sale blocking and associated harassment on some park home sites.
The impact that sale blocking and related harassment can have on park homeowners is significant, impacting their well-being and financial security. This is particularly troubling given the demographic of park homeowners who are older and have more modest incomes.
Whilst local authorities have the power to tackle cases of sale blocking, they do not have a duty to act and we hear of cases where authorities are not intervening.
The current process for challenging sale blocking places a large responsibility on vulnerable residents who may not feel able to challenge the behaviour, document the necessary evidence, and submit it to the local authority and challenge if the local authority does not act swiftly.
