THE KING WHO WON’T READ THE METERS
Regular readers will recall that in 2024, we secured the funds that enabled residents at Home Farm Park in Cheshire (as managed by Fury Developments Ltd. and then-owned by subsidiary company Home Farm Country Park Ltd.) to instruct solicitor Tim Selley, who later successfully challenged the imposition of charges for the third-party installation of not very smart electricity and gas meters - the Upper Tribunal confirming the unlawfulness of the charges, whilst also ordering th


TWO MORE SUSSEX PARKS JOIN IN THE FIGHT AGAINST WYLDECREST
LATEST: A further two parks have recently joined the five already fighting the Wyldecrest regime following allegations surrounding Alfie and daughter Elizabeth Best,`s straw companies, leases, onerous agreements and demands for monies from the owners of mis-sold homes - whilst using threatening letters for non-payable service charges with threats of termination of the victims Agreements. If they don`t concede Needless to say, the name David Paul Sunderland is deeply embroile


HOW WYLDECREST FIRST STITCH UP THEIR VICTIMS
PARK OWNERS CAN ADD EXPRESS TERMS TO ANY NEW AGREEMENT - BECOMING ENFORCEABLE IF THE THE BUYER AGREES TO THEM A park owner is required by law to give you a copy of the Written Statement 28 days BEFORE you commit to purchase. This time frame allows you to review the terms and understand what living on the park will mean and the costs you`re likely to incur. Wyldecrest have serially breached that law by failing to provide it until AFTER the buyers have moved in – or even not at


YES – YOU CAN CHALLENGE A PROPOSED PITCH FEE INCREASE IF THE AMENITY OF THE SITE HAS HAS GOT WORSE - OR NOT IMPROVED....
Sometimes, residents are led to believe ( including some tribunal judges ) that they cannot challenge a proposed pitch fee increase if the site has simply remained in the same poor condition as the previous year or years. Below, you`ll find the question submitted by a Wykdcrest RA to the government sponsored Leasehold Advisory Service in August 2025 and which any resident who wishes to oppose a proposed pitvh fee increase can refer to if need be.... QUESTION TO LEASE We won a


WHEN WYLDECREST STEAL MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT......
We don`t - and will probably never know the full amount of monies taken from residents accounts associated to the Direct Debit Mandates that Wyldecrest residents entered into in good faith – only find those authorisations abused. Recent events involving one highly vulnerable resident starkly examples……. Here, we`ll call her Anne, – not her real name - but several months ago she tragically lost her husband - the blow having wider implications because with her own significant d


WHETHER PARK HOME RESIDENTS ARE LIABLE FOR SITE OWNERS COSTS WHEN PROVIDING UTILITIES
The background. In 2017, P R Hardman owned a caravan park on which Mr & Mrs Greenwood and others were occupiers of pitches. The residents occupied their pitches as permanent residences. The park was a protected site under the Mobile Homes Act 1983, applying to agreements under which occupiers were entitled to establish and occupy a mobile home as a main residence. The applicants had agreed under their contracts to: “pay…an annual pitch fee… (b) to pay and discharge all genera


DO YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR ELECTRICITY BILLS ?
Many Park Home sites are registered as businesses where the site owners acts as a reseller of power. In such cases, you should always ask for copies of the bill received by the park owner` from their own power supplier. This is to check that the correct tariff has been applied - and also that you are not being charged more than the VAT rate of 5%. You should also check whether those bills include a Climate Charge Levy because this cannot be passed on to you. EXPLANATION: Th


RESPONSIBILITY FOR TREES
Whilst each case will be subject to the details contained with the Site Park Rules, in a recent case the Tribunals view was that one should look at the responsibility of the Park Home Resident first. Once established, the remaining responsibilities are with the Site Owner. The only mention of trees in the exampled implied Terms refers to the Site Owner being obliged to keep the trees in a clean and tidy condition. In this case, the Tribunal used this reasoning to explain that


THE KEY WORD IS CAUTION
I begin by emphasising that most people buy into the Park Homes market and in a phrase “live happily ever after.” That importantly said, just as in any major purchase of any product or service, there are sellers keen to exploit the unwitting, It`s easy to be caught up in the enthusiasm. The new bungalow style home, a manageable outdoor space, the choices between innovative designs, the usually rural living and perhaps the pot of savings that can add to the enjoyment of windin
