Holiday Parks: Marketing
Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Fleetwood) Thursday 28th March 2024 Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of the potentially misleading marketing of homes on holiday parks as residential properties on consumers. Answered by Lee Rowley - Minister of State (Minister for Housing) We expect that the marketing of all properties accords with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, which prohibits misleading omissions of key information about the property. Estate agents’ compliance with the law is overseen by the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agent Team, who can issue warning or banning orders to agents who fail to comply. Consumers should make sure they are clear about any restrictions on the property before purchasing, informed by checks on the property title carried out by their conveyancing solicitor before contracts are exchanged. |
