53 of the 68 developed park homes are held in private ownership with Mobile Homes Act Agreements. The remaining 15 homes are held on long leases, also within private ownership. Set out within the brochure is a summary of the annual pitch fees payable by each of the homes. For the 68 units, the total annual income for 2023/2024 is £133,639.96. All pitch fees are invoiced bi-annually. The 15 homes held on long leases pay an annual rent of £10 per annum (fixed until 2079), which are invoiced annually. For 49 of the pitches, there is an annual charge for services, grounds & maintenance, which for the year to September 2023 was £652.92. For all of the leases and four units still on the original Mobile Homes Act agreements there is a bi-annual maintenance charge, calculated as 1/68th of actual expenditure. The most recent six monthly maintenance charge was £68 per home. All 68 units are subject to the water/sewerage charge. This is a recharge by Hoburne. There is one water meter on the park (at the entrance) and Hoburne is billed on the basis of water passing through this meter. 45 units on Mobile homes Act agreements are subject to 7.5% commission on a sale and the three units on the highest pitch fees are subject to 10% commission on a sale.
