Featured parks and holiday homes title will go here
With UK Holiday Pads, you can explore a diverse range of properties and log cabins across the UK.
Introduction
By choosing to buy a property to use as your permanent residence on a holiday park, exposes what for most of us would be our main asset, to great risk. Once the Local Council finds out that holiday homes are being used for residential purposes, they can prosecute the park owner for either breach of his/her Site Licence Conditions or for breach of his/her Planning Consent. They may also serve an Enforcement Order directly upon the resident to remove their property from the Park. We do advise you to think very carefully before placing, what is usually most people's largest asset, in such a precarious position.
You will have no protection under law should this happen, whereas if you purchase your home on a park licensed for residential use, should anything untoward happen you will have the full protection of the Mobile Homes Act 1983, amended by the Mobile Homes Act 2013.
A responsible holiday park owner will ask to see proof of your primary address away from the park at regular times, to ensure that no one is breaching their Site Licence Conditions.

So what's happening now?
We all know that Local Councils are strapped for cash and are looking for ways to bring in additional revenue. Local Councils have a legal obligation to charge everyone Council Tax wherever they are living - even if they are not supposed to be where they are!
Many Local Councils across the UK have employed the use of a company called Capacity Grid, we believe on a commission basis only, to seek out those not paying Council Tax and where better to start looking than on holiday parks! News reaching our office is that they are proving to be very successful. Update: We believe this service has now been suspended.
