Important information for buyers

If the current owner of the property has indicated that items such as carpets, etc are included in the sale they are mentioned in the above sales particulars. On rare occasions sellers have been known to alter their initial intentions. We would therefore advise any prospective purchaser to verify exactly which items are included prior to completion of purchase. In the event of an owner removing items which they had previously indicated were to be included this will be a matter between the new owner and previous owner and HoliHomes Ltd. Cannot be held responsible for such misdemeanours.

In addition, all prospective purchasers should ensure that any applicable special consent such as building regulations, planning consents etc. Have been obtained by their solicitor prior to exchange of contracts.

On change of ownership of holiday homes, it is normal practice for holiday site owners to charge a transfer fee.

Transfer fees are set out in each individual holiday sites terms and conditions of ownership. Under current legislation the maximum transfer fee charged cannot exceed 15% plus vat.

In cases where a holiday property can be purchased without the use of a solicitor any purchaser should confirm the ongoing terms of any lease or licence direct with the site owner before transfer of lease or licence. In addition, purchasers should satisfy themselves of the condition of the holiday home and take independent advice from suitably qualified persons prior to commitment to purchase. The aforementioned items are the sole responsibility of a buyer and HoliHomes Ltd cannot be held responsible for any such issues.
