GUIDANCE FOR HOLIDAY PARK
OWNERS/OPERATORS
This is what the park owner/operator should
follow to meet the Standard opposite
You should ensure that any Transfer Fee you
intend to charge is the negotiated rate agreed
between you and the prospective owner before
the Licence Agreement is signed. Transfer fees
can vary depending on the value of the unit
and what fee is agreed by both parties. If you
charge a transfer fee then it should only be the
rate agreed with the prospective purchaser and
the rate agreed will be recorded in the Licence
Agreement.
A Licence Agreement for a new private
purchaser should be no less favourable than
the original Licence Agreement. Less favourable
terms should not be used to block a private sale.
Checks on a private purchaser should be no
different and no more onerous than those you
would conduct on a prospective owner buying
directly from you. These checks should not
be used to block or hinder a private sale. All
reasons should be evidenced and recorded and
should be disclosed to the buyer. It is likely that
General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
will restrict any disclosure to the selling owner
in the event that the sale could not complete
and this should be explained to the buyer.
