The Mobile Homes Act 1983 provides for certain terms to be implied into any agreement under which a mobile home occupier is entitled to station a mobile home on land forming part of a protected site. These terms are set out in Part I of Schedule 1 to the Act. Paragraph 8 of Part I deals with the sale of the mobile home by the occupier and the assignment of the agreement. Under paragraph 8(2) the owner of the site is entitled to receive a commission on such a sale at a rate not exceeding that specified by order. This order fixes the maximum rate of commission at 10 per cent.
