In the UK, over 20,000 people live in mobile homes - some by choice, others because it's their only affordable housing option....Mobile homes offer an economical alternative to traditional housing, and many retirees choose this lifestyle, often selling their previous property to make the move.Every park or mobile home site in the UK should have a licence to operate....If you have a complaint concerning a mobile home site you should try to contact the site owner or manager in the first instance, to give them a chance to remedy the situation.If your site is a member of the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA) or the National Caravan Council (NCC), you can take your complaint to these organisations and they will do their best to resolve the dispute.If you rent your park home and have concerns over its condition you can also complain through Cornwall Councils housing complaints page.
