Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Graham of Edmonton (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Hanham (Conservative) on Wednesday, 27 October 2010.


Mobile Homes

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that mobile home owners are able to sell their properties at the market rate. My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper and in doing so declare an interest as the secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Mobile Homes.
Answer

My Lords, the Mobile Homes Act 1983 makes statutory provision to enable mobile home owners to sell their homes subject to the buyer being approved by the site owner. Where approval is not forthcoming, the resident seller has a right to apply to the county court to seek its approval in the stead of the site owner.
