Park Homes: Sales

Asked by Clive JonesLiberal DemocratMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 9 March 2026UIN 115901

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make it his policy to a) abolish, or b) otherwise amend the 10% sales commission on residential park homes.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government recognise that there are longstanding concerns about the requirement to pay site owners a commission upon sale of a park home.

The previous government published a report in June 2022 on the impact of a change in the maximum park home sale commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

On 5 March 2026, my Department published a 12-week call for evidence regarding the rationale for the payment of a commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.
