Park homes (sometimes called mobile homes or static caravans) are usually prefabricated single-storey houses that are manufactured off-site and installed on land that is owned privately or by a local authority.
Most residents own their homes and pay the site owner a fee for the pitch on which the home is installed for the maintenance of the common areas of the park and for the services provided on the park.
Because the residents do not own the land on which their home resides, they are not deemed to be owners of property in the full sense, but have security of tenure under the 1983 Mobile Homes Act as amended by the Housing Act 2004.
The factsheet Park homes provides information about legislation relating to park homes. It is intended for people who own a park home as their permanent residence‚ or for those who are considering buying such a home.

Downloads
A download is a document (like a research report, a leaflet, or an application form) that can be transferred from our website to your computer. You can download a file, view it on your screen, print it, or save it to your computer.
PDF stands for ‘portable document format’.
Most downloads on this website are PDFs. We use this format to ensure that the document looks the same on everyone’s computer (website pages, by contrast, appear differently depending on how people have got their computer set up).
Computers use a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader to download PDFs. If you try clicking on a link to download a PDF and it doesn’t work, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.
The process is quite straightforward and is free.
PDFs cannot be changed. If you need to be able to type into a downloaded document (for example, if we are offering a letter template that you need to put your name on) we will provide it as a Microsoft Word document rather than a PDF. You can then download it, type into it and save it to your computer.
Downloads will open on your computer in a new browser window.
Inside this window (below all your web browser menus), there will be a toolbar with options for you to print or save the document.
Close the browser window to return to the Age UK website.
We have made every effort to make our PDFs accessible to screen readers. Here is an overview of your accessibility options available in Acrobat Reader. Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Reader website to ensure that they are included in your version of the programme.You can use Adobe Reader to read a PDF out loud with the following shortcut keys:
