How are my interests protected when buying a leisure lodge?
The Code of Practice for Selling and Siting Holiday Caravans sets out industry-approved ‘minimum standards’ for the services provided by park owners for the sale of lodges. Its provisions include an acknowledgement of your right to take independent advice on any aspect of an intended purchase of a lodge, be this from a surveyor, lawyer or any other professional. The Code of Practice also requires park owners to provide you with certain written information to consider before making a decision to buy a lodge. Additionally, the NCC has recently introduced a Holiday Park Fair Trader scheme whereby member parks: Have achieved a minimum level of 3 stars under the British Graded Holiday Park scheme. Are regularly assessed by an independent assessor to have met the schemes criteria in full. Fully comply with the Code of Practice. Are committed to high standards of customer care.
