Danny Chambers presses Government for answers on park home sale charges

Winchester MP Danny Chambers is continuing to press the Government for answers over charges faced by residents when selling their park homes.

Under current rules, park home site owners can receive a commission payment of up to 10% of the sale price when a resident sells their home.

For residents looking to move, the charge can mean losing a substantial amount of the value of their property.

Danny has raised the issue in Parliament through a Written Question, seeking clarity on the Government's plans to reform the system.

Ministers have confirmed that they are analysing responses to a consultation on commission payments and intend to announce their final position by the end of the year.

However, no decision on reform has yet been announced.

The issue affects park home residents across Winchester District, including communities in Colden Common and Twyford.

Danny has been listening to residents' concerns and is continuing to press ministers to ensure their experiences are taken into account.

Local Liberal Democrats say that people who have invested in their homes deserve clarity about the rules governing their sale, particularly when the charges involved can amount to thousands of pounds.

Danny will continue following up with the Government and holding ministers to their stated timetable for a decision.
