Description

The chalet comprises of a lounge, fitted kitchen, 2 double bedrooms and shower/WC
plus front patio enclosed by fencing. Furthermore, the chalet offers a Upvc double

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.

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.
