2-EPC for Park Home:

Do I need an EPC to sell a Mobile home? And the answer is NO!

If you selling a traditional brick-built residential property, you would have to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

The rules are slightly different for park homes. While some people prefer to know about energy ratings before they buy, you don’t have to offer an EPC. So to be clear, if you are selling a mobile home, you do not have to provide an EPC.

3-Stamp duty:

Mobile homes are exempt from stamp duty. This is because they are not a permanent installation and can be moved. Park homes often are considered just like caravans (mobile chattels). However, there are some important and crucial exceptions that need to look at. If moving the park or mobile home requires damage to the land e.g. digging up foundations it is likely to be considered a building for the purposes of stamp duty land tax. Your buyer would do well to find a specialist solicitor who can confirm whether stamp duty is applicable. If the buying price is under £45,000 for a second property or £125,000 for a primary property, stamp duty won’t apply, anyway.
