The Park Homes Policy Forum (PHPF) is an independent, unsponsored information and awareness hub dedicated to protecting the interests of residential park home owners and prospective buyers in the UK.

​

Core Mission & Services

• Awareness & Advocacy: It aims to expose exploitative practices, scams, and bullying by unscrupulous park operators.

• Community Forums: The forum operates three major Facebook pages with thousands of members who share personal stories, site updates, and warnings about rogue traders.

Key Warning Areas

The forum specifically alerts residents to common pitfalls, including:

• Maintenance Scams: Fraudulent traders offering unnecessary chassis painting or underfloor insulation work.
