Not the same as a house on a freehold plot
Park homes are often sold with a site agreement rather than freehold land in the familiar sense. Rules, fees, and termination rights can matter more than the unit itself.
What to read carefully
- Written statement rules and site licence references where applicable.
- Pitch fees and review mechanisms.
- Age restrictions, pet rules, and site owner responsibilities for utilities and maintenance.
Professional support
Use a solicitor experienced in park home purchases. This guide cannot replace advice on your specific agreement.
Practical tip
If you are comparing options, keep a simple checklist of fees and rights, then store final documents against the home record if you use a Property Passport for organisation after you move in.
What to check next
Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to open the property by address or postcode, then review official context alongside anything you save as Documents for your own workflow.
How Property Passport UK helps
Property Passport UK brings address-level context together in one place so you can prepare questions for your conveyancer and surveyor without treating a portal listing as proof. It does not replace HM Land Registry title, searches, or professional advice.
