WHEN LIVING ON A PARK HOME
You have the right to the quiet enjoyment of your home and the amenities of the park.

You have the right to the protection and benefits of the park rules.

On a BH&HPA and/or NPHC member park, you have the right to receive normal household deliveries directly to your home from suppliers of your own choice. However, a degree of common sense is required. If for example, the lorries used by gas suppliers are too heavy for the park roads, then deliveries should be made by hand or using a trolley to avoid costly damage to the park infrastructure. In such circumstances, the park owner shall provide reasons in writing.

All BH&HPA and NPHC member park owners shall maintain the common areas of the park for which they are responsible.

All BH&HPA and NPHC member park owners shall respect the peace, privacy and rights of park home owners.

All BH&HPA and NPHC member park owners shall adhere to the provisions of the 1983 Mobile Homes Act, this Charter and meet their responsibilities under their agreements with home owners.

Park Homes are normally connected to all services. On a BH&HPA and/or NPHC member park, you may connect your home to any further mains services which become available, provided this is practicable and on payment of all associated costs.

You have the right to establish or apply for membership of any residents' association or social club on the park. A democratic and fully representative residents' association can provide a valuable social forum for home owners and make for easier communications between the park owner and the home owner.

A change of ownership of the park will not affect your statutory rights or those contained within your agreement. [HB14]

Good communication between residents and the park owner is essential to ensure your park is well managed and a happy place to live. It is in your interest to inform the park owner should you have any concerns relating to the park.

In order to ensure your park is a pleasant environment in which to live, you should respect the peace, privacy and rights of your neighbours.

You should make sure that you understand and meet your responsibilities as a home owner.

Your park home is a valuable asset and one which should be looked after. You should make sure you are fully acquainted with the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

As a home owner, you are responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the home and the designated garden area, in accordance with the rules of the park.

If permitted by your agreement with the park owner, should you wish to make improvements or changes which alter the appearance of your home or garden area (e.g. the erection of a porch, extension, shed, garage or fence etc.), you are responsible for obtaining the park owner's written consent in advance. 'Guidance Notes for Park Home Refurbishment' are available from the park owner or from the BH&HPA and NPHC.

In the interest of security and to avoid any misunderstanding, it is advisable to inform the park owner in writing if you are going to be away from the home for a long period. If your park home ceases to be your only or main residence, the park owner may apply to the Court for permission to terminate your agreement. [HB9]
