AM welcomes consultation on the reduction or abolition of commission fees on the sale of park homes

Rebecca Evans, Assembly Member for Gower, has welcomed a consultation on the reduction or abolition of commission fees on the sale of park homes.

The consultation follows a review of the sector commissioned by the Welsh Government. While the review made several recommendations to improve standards in the sector, barely a quarter of park home operators contributed detailed financial information to the review.

Rebecca Evans AM said “This is an issue that the Welsh Labour Government has considered very carefully, and I know that park home residents in Gower will welcome the chance to have their say.

“The Welsh Government will examine the level of the commission charged by site owners, and, in light of the very strong representations that the Government has heard, there may well be a case to reduce or even abolish the commission. All consultation responses will be taken into full account before a final decision is taken.

“I encourage all those who have park homes to have their say.”
