Returning to one of the points mentioned in my last blog,specifically the problem of bequeathing a static caravan in your will,an interesting thought has occured to me.The camp busybody has been sharing her life for at least 10 years with her common law husband.The caravan, and the house, are both in her name.Her partner was persuaded long ago to sell his property and the proceeds have been used to fund their joint lifestyle.She has told several neighbours at the park that if she dies first the house and caravan will pass to her only son.She has gratiously specified in her will that her partner has 4 weeks to vacate both.Heaven only knows what will happen to him but she obviously is not concerned about that.
The ironic thing is that she cannot determine the ownership of the caravan because the park owner will not miss the opportunity for a pay day.He will no doubt insist on the caravan being sold so he can take 15% of whatever value he selects.He also can veto the buyer without giving a reason.Depending on the age of the unit he may just insist on its removal and he would be within his rights to charge for desiting the van.Whatever the park owner decides he is completely within his rights to carry out.The unit owner's estate, or her partner, or heir will have no rights at all.
Whichever way it turns out her partner is destined to be left out in the cold,unless of course he manages to leave before she does.

I am a new owner at Binton Bridges Park. I briefly experienced the old owners of the park and found them to be a very normal, pleasant couple. The new owners are a lovely family who are making a first class job of looking after the park and the owners. This man clearly has a grudge against the park which is nothing to do with the new owners who are trying to make a success of a new business and are working hard to do so. He clearly has a grudge against the lady he calls the "busybody". The lady he refers to is a kind, thoughtful and honest person of integrity who luckily treats his comments with the contempt they deserve. I urge anyone who is thinking about coming to the park to ignore this man's comments, come and see for yourself and meet other owners who know the real truth. As for flooding all caravans are now fitted with a floatation system which negates the worry of flooding.
