Clive Jones
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Trade)
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make it his policy to a) abolish, or b) otherwise amend the 10% sales commission on residential park homes.
Matthew Pennycook
Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
The government recognise that there are longstanding concerns about the requirement to pay site owners a commission upon sale of a park home.
The previous government published a report in June 2022 on the impact of a change in the maximum park home sale commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.
On 5 March 2026, my Department published a 12-week call for evidence regarding the rationale for the payment of a commission. It can be found on gov.uk here.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
