Annual Review of Pitch Fees

PITCH FEE REVIEWS
You can expect the pitch fee to be reviewed on an annual basis, normally in line with inflation. Details of the factors taken in to consideration in a pitch fee review should be in the express terms of your agreement.

The pitch fee normally covers routine repairs and maintenance to the park.

Where the pitch fee increase will be above the rate of inflation, a BH&HPA and/or NPHC member park owner will consult with home owners and explain the circumstances, giving reasonable advance notice.

A BH&HPA and/or NPHC member park owner will clearly explain all other factors including changes in legislation which are taken into account in the review of the pitch fee.

When reviewing the pitch fees of existing park home owners, the park owner will not take into account his expenditure in development works for new homes, except where that expenditure also benefits existing residents. You may then expect the increase to be borne partly by the park owner and partly by existing residents.

The park owner will, on request, separately identify charges for mains services (gas, electricity, water or sewage as appropriate) where these are included in the pitch fee. Either these charges will not exceed the controlled tariff applicable, or the park owner will justify the charges made with supporting evidence.

A Pitch Fee Arbitration Scheme, approved by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and operated by the Institute of Arbitrators, is available as a low cost alternative to resolving isputes in Court, if your park is a member of BH&HPA and/or NPHC.
