Park lodges and similar-land reg?

Hi all,


Im just wondering,, if you were to buy a park home/lodge/call it what you like..would it appear as a property registered on land reg?

I suspect i know the answer but just checking,

My thoughts are that its a caravan which stands on a rented plot and so there is nothing to register on land reg

Its no different to owning a motorhome or a car.
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    When you say 'appear' do you mean the physical structure on the title plan or the postal address for example?

    We register land which in turn is then defined as property once it is 'built on' so a picnic plot, a house and garden and a park lodge can all be registered but it starts with the land initially.

    I think C_Mababejive is referring to individual park homes/lodges on mobile or holiday home parks.

    Correct,,so the land belongs to someone else and the caravan owner pays a pitch fee and has no tenure in the form of freehold/leasehold.

    Usually the caravan owner will have some security of tenure, albeit for a relatively short period of time.
