Mobile Homes Act 1983 - pitch fee uprating: consultation analysis

8) Conclusion

The majority of respondents agreed that the CPI is the most appropriate inflationary index for pitch fee uprating for Scottish contracts under the Mobile Homes Act 1983 and thought that this should apply to both existing and new contracts. Positive financial impacts were identified for residents and some corresponding negative impacts for site operators. Many respondents think a further change should be made to the Mobile Homes Act 1983 so that the statistical basis for uprating pitch fees can be amended by secondary legislation in the future.
