Sale
of Cabin/Vans on Site
Is conditional upon:-
(a) notifying the caravan park owner in writing of the intention to
sell the dwelling.
(b) informing any prospective purchaser that
the sale of the dwelling voids any agreement with respect to the occupancy of
the site.
(c)
advising any
prospective purchaser that they make their own inquiries of the caravan park
owner with respect to the prospects of entering in to an Agreement.
(d)
the age of a
dwelling. The sale of a dwelling on site
that is over twenty years of age is at the discretion of the park owner. Each unit is assessed each time it comes up
for sale as to whether it may remain on site.
What fees apply upon sale?
We
do not charge you a transfer fee but will charge 2.5% sales commission if you
wish us to negotiate the sale of the dwelling on your behalf. A new customer is charged a $50
administration charge.
Age of Vans
It
is the park owners’ policy that cabins or caravans over 20 years of age will
not be allowed into the park. An offer
to renew a Long-Term Holiday Site Agreement for a caravan or cabin that is over
twenty years of age that is already on the park is at the discretion of the
park owner. Each time that a unit
comes up for sale we inspect it to decide if it is able to remain on site.
Waste Water - Non-Sewered Sites
Not all sites are connected to the sewer system. Some are on a sullage system. We recommend use of the sinks in the BBQ area to wash dishes. Later connection to the sewer system is dependent on the sites location. (Seek advice from the Office)
