Auchenlarie Conditions

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR HOLIDAY HOME OWNERS

Preface:

Reference is made in these conditions to the Caravan Industries’ Standard Code of Practice for Selling & Siting Holiday Caravans and to Licence agreements for a Holiday Caravan Pitch. These documents are accepted in full by Anwoth Holiday Park and form an integral part of these conditions.  Each pitch number must be clearly displayed on the holiday home

 

 1          The pitch is let to the person or persons named on the holiday home invoice, and is not transferable.  Each pitch number must be clearly displayed on the holiday home. 

2           Authority for conduct on the park is vested in the management, and security of    tenure is only guaranteed provided that all rules, notices displayed on the park, and instructions of the management are strictly observed 

3          Vehicles and holiday homes, including their accessories and contents, are admitted onto the park at the owner's risk and the proprietors will not be responsible for personal injury (whether fatal or otherwise) to any person coming on to their land, or for loss, damage, costs and expenses however caused, and whether by negligence of the proprietors or otherwise. 

4          Management is also responsible for ensuring that planning and licensing controls are adhered to.  This is a legal requirement for the licence holder who must uphold all conditions on the park. 

5.         Subletting: We remind you that one of the conditions of having a holiday home at Anwoth is that there should be no sub-letting.  Letting holiday homes are subject to legally enforceable safety regulations.  Your insurance does not cover you for sub-letting. 

6.         Holiday home owner(s) must not carry out any trade or business whatsoever, in or from the holiday home. 

7.         Holiday homes may be occupied from 1st March to 31st October only.  Pitch fees are payable in advance each year and are due by 31st December.  Unless authorised, absolutely no deviation from this will be tolerated. Environmental Charges (which include Business Rates, Refuse Charges, Water and Sewage Charges) are due on 31st March. 

8.         No outside contractors may be employed to work in or around holiday homes without permission of the management.     

9.         All holiday homes must be fully insured and have adequate third party cover and public liability cover of at least £2 million. We recommend that any holiday home purchased after 1st January 2002 should be insured through our own scheme and should be covered New for Old for the first five years of its life.  If any older caravan is not insured through us then please ensure you declare such cover when asked, a fee will be charged for asking this declaration.  Absolutely no uninsured holiday home can be stationed at Auchenlarie.   

10.       For insurance purposes all Gas must be purchased through the Office and paid for upon delivery.  Gas must not be brought onto the park from outside as this invalidates insurance. 

11.       All LPG hose should be to BS3212/1 and checked regularly.  The current hose is either black or orange, and stamped with BS3212/1 and the date of manufacture.  If it is more than 5 years old or not as described, please inform the office.  It should be no more than 2 metres in length as this will impair performance and could be dangerous. Any requirement in excess of this length will entail the holiday home pipework being altered by a LPG GAS SAFE Registered Gas Fitter. 

12.      Each holiday home must have a 1kg dry powder fire extinguisher and owners should acquaint themselves with the position of  Fire Points. 

12a.     It is recommended that each holiday home should be fitted with a CO2 detector. 

13.       Holiday homes are to be maintained in a sound and tidy condition, with refuse put in the bins provided.            

14.              The area surrounding holiday homes, and underneath, must be kept tidy at all times.  This includes the grass which is inaccessible to the site grass cutting.  If underneath the van can be seen then this condition refers to the vegetation there as well.  Failure to keep thia area tidy will put you in contravention of your licence agreement and we may have to charge if rectifying is necessary.

15.              a) Timber or plastic storage units & sheds are not allowed.  Any such unit must be of totally none combustible material and securely anchored.

                   b) Erection of any fences, drying lines, bunkers, paving slabs, verandas etc is not permitted without the prior permission of the management who may, in some cases, have to seek approval from the local council and charge accordingly for obtaining that approval. Don’t forget we know the position of cables and pipework underground.  Without this knowledge you could cause expensive damage.  Again, a legal requirement for the Licence Holder.  Any contravention may invalidate your insurance and your licence agreement.

                  c) Verandas, unless otherwise agreed by management, must be no less than 3.5m from adjacent holiday home.  They cannot face each other in the space between holiday homes, they must not be enclosed and car ports and covered porches are not allowed.  All new verandas must be painted either ‘Forest green’ or ‘Country Green’ and/or changed to these colours when repainted.  Again, a legal requirement for the Licence Holder.  Any contravention may invalidate your insurance or your licence agreement. 

16.       A 15 mile per hour speed limit applies to the park roadways and care must be taken to minimise damage to the grass surfaces during wet weather.  

17.       Dogs must be kept on a lead whilst on the holiday home park and exercised beyond the boundary.  Should any accidental fouling occur it must be removed immediately. 

18.       Holiday homes should be drained down at the end of each season and we offer a service to do this and gas test your holiday home each year.

19.       No guns, whatsoever, will be allowed on the park. 

20        All holiday home sales must be arranged through the Swalwell Holiday Group 

20a.     All conditions of sale are covered in clause 6 of the new licence agreement.  Refunds due are also covered in clause 13.3   

20b.     In addition to you legal rights, our Warranty Terms for holiday homes are:

  •             New                             Parts and labour for one year
  •             One to three years         6 Months parts and labour
  •             Three to five years         3 months parts only
  •             Five years upwards         No guarantee
  •             Customer Sale               No guarantee will be given whatever the age

20c.    Holiday homes for sale will still attract Environmental Charges, Pitch Fees and Insurance Charges whilst occupying a pitch.   

20d.    Holiday homes for sale will still attract Council Rates, Environmental Charges, Pitch Fees and Insurance charges whilst occupying a pitch.

20e     Holiday Homes over 15 years old will not be resold onto Auchenlarie and Licence Agreements will be reviewed annually.  Additionally whilst owners can buy caravans up to fifteen years old any new customers may only purchase caravans younger than 10 years old.

20f     The minimum retail price for any caravan sold onto AHP will be £3500 irresepectively of its age (up to 15 years old).  This is soley a means of obtaining a suitable margin for each caravan.  It must not be taken as payment that would automatically be paid on a repurchase or a loss for insurance purposes.

20g      No Holiday Home over 20 years old can remain at Auchenlarie

21.     Please have the utmost consideration for fellow customers when using radios etc.  Please supervise your children when they are playing.
