Gifting your park home to a family member

As a park home owner, you can gift (give away) your park home to a member of your family by:

• transferring ownership of the home to the family member
• assigning the pitch agreement to them at the same time

The family member receiving the home must:

• be your spouse, civil partner or unmarried partner, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece (including step relationships and half-siblings)
• meet any site rules, for example being over a certain age

You must not receive any payment from the family member for the park home.

Your family member does not have to pay the site owner the 10% commission that normally applies to buying a park home.

You should provide the family member with documents or copies of:

• the pitch agreement or written statement
• the site rules, including any about buying a park home on the site that you will need to meet
• which charges you must pay to the site owner
• any charges that you must pay to someone else, such as utility bills and council tax
• any warranty (for example a manufacturer’s guarantee) that covers the park home
• any survey of the park home carried out within the last 12 months

Use an assignment form to transfer the pitch agreement to the family member receiving the home.

The family member should keep this form (signed and dated) with the pitch agreement.

• for England: GOV.UK: Assignment form – park homes
• for Wales: Welsh Government: Assignment of park home

The family member must send the site owner a completed notice of assignment form within 7 days of the pitch agreement being transferred to them.

The notice of assignment form will contain:

• your name (the assignor)
• the name of the family member you are gifting the park home to (assignee) and of any other person who will live in the park home
• the address of the park home
• the date of assignment of the agreement
• your forwarding address

When you send the notice of assignment form to the site owner, you should also include:

• a copy of the assignment form
• copies of any pre-commencement rules or site rules which the family member received
• copies of the agreement and written statement that the family member received
