Description

This chalet is probably the best we have seen in 40 years of dealing with chalet sales at South Shore Park and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. We are informed that No 71 Fifth Avenue was originally two semi-detached chalets which were combined to create one large detached chalet many years ago. The chalet was redesigned and refurbished internally to a high standard throughout during 2014/2015 to create a 2 bedroom detached chalet with spacious interior rooms all insulated by Kingspan. Lpg gas central heating was also installed during 2015. The interior décor is superb throughout and features ‘Laura Ashley’ décor in the lounge. Furthermore, the exterior was repainted during 2023. The property offers a water meter and all contents are included within the price creating an opportunity to purchase a fully operational stylish chalet to be proud of.
This large detached chalet comprises of a spacious modern ‘L’ shaped lounge/diner/fitted kitchen, inner hallway, spacious double bedroom with king-size bed, range of solid oak furniture and fitted wash-basin, 2nd double bedroom, modern fully tiled shower/WC, store room housing the lpg gas boiler plus additional storage space in the loft. The exterior offers paved patios to side and rear all enclosed by fencing plus external gas bottle store-room, security lighting, satellite dish and peaceful tranquil views across open fields with a combination of distant views of the sea and boat compound from the South facing patio which benefits from direct sunlight from dawn till dusk.
The holiday chalet also benefits from a new 65 lease which commenced January 2022 providing a lengthy term of right of tenure until 2087 creating an asset that should not only hold its price long term but increase in value over the next 30 years or so compared to alternative holiday site homes with shorter lengths of terms of tenure.
An additional benefit is that, despite this chalet being much larger than the vast majority of holiday chalets on the site, the ground rent charged by the site owners ‘Tingdene’ is identical to the ground rent payable for much smaller chalets on the holiday site.

We are informed that Tingdene (the holiday site owner) charge an annual ground rent which commenced on the 1st of January 2022 at £3,400 plus vat per annum payable on the 31st of January each year. Annual increases are based on that figure and set in line with the Retail Prices Index (rpi).

We are informed that Tingdene charge an annual service charge for operating the holiday site each year. The service charge for 2022 was £205.45 plus vat.
Should an owner decide to offer their chalet for holiday rental there will be an annual charge for refuse disposal currently in the region of £120 per annum per chalet. This sum is not payable by owners who only use their chalet for personal use rather than commercial letting.

Tingdene charge a transfer fee on change of ownership of 10% of the sale price agreed. The 10% is subject to VAT. Please note - the transfer fee is paid by the seller not by the purchaser.

The property is registered with land registry, therefore, transfer of ownership must be conducted through solicitors. A lease is a legal document, therefore, potential purchasers need to consult their solicitors for legal advice on the terms and conditions contained within the lease prior to exchanging contracts to purchase.

Chalets at South Shore Park have planning permission for holiday use, consequently, cannot be used for sole permanent residency and purchasers are required to provide details of their main residential address to the Tingdene South Shore Park office each year. Chalet owners can rent their chalet to other holiday-makers for holiday use by asking permission from the Tingdene site office each year and we are informed that permission will not be unreasonably with-held.

Services

Mains electric, water and drainage are connected. Chalet owners are responsible for paying their own water rates and electricity bill from their chosen supplier.

Band 'A'. This can be paid monthly or annually by arrangement with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The council tax payable for the year 2023/24 is £1,399, however, for those who wish to also let their chalets to holiday-makers there is the option of applying to switch from council tax to business rates which can currently result in substantial savings. Ask us for further details of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council small business rate relief scheme.

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.

We would advise all prospective purchasers that none of the services, fixtures, fittings and equipment have been tested and no warranties of any kind can be given by Holihomes Ltd. 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. The transfer fee is generally payable by the seller and is usually a percentage of the price agreed for the holiday home. 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. Park rules and terms/conditions of lease/licence agreements vary from park to park, therefore, any prospective buyer should familiarise themselves with all park rules, impending changes plus all terms & conditions imposed by any park before completing a purchase.
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. Any site fees paid by the vendor may not be transferable or proportional. A purchaser should expect to take over the site fees from transfer.

Measurements are accurate to the nearest 3 inches. All prospective purchasers should check precise measurements before ordering goods such as furniture, carpeting etc.
