No direct experience of them, but I know they are one of many companies buying parks all round.
Are you on a residential or leisure park?
If residential, and you are asked to sign a new Written Statement, get legal advice before doing anything, as on a residential site your existing terms apply to the new owner.
LEASE are the advisory for residential park homes:

Bear in mind that many bad reviews may be written by people who either did not read their agreement, or who thought the terms they had signed up to would not apply to them.
Bad news always gets reported more than good.

Thanks for the replies.
It is a holiday park so its leisure.
Holiday parks are an absolute minefield, which is why I would never have a static on one in Britain. They tend to be an absolute law unto themselves and when they get taken over it seems that the new site owners are able to simply tear up agreements made with the previous site owners. Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.

More shocking are the reports about the apparent disregard of planning and licensing.

In view of the final section of teh report, it is worthwhile the OP contacting the local council to check whether the site license has been transferred - or even if Countrywide have applied for the site licence to be transferred.

It's about time this industry was regulated. Unscrupulous site owners seem to think they can do whatever they like, and the truth is, they can and do!

The industry DOES have regulations, under planning, licensing, consumer laws, contract laws, plus the new "fit&proper persons".
What IS needed is enforcement of the existing laws and regulations - but this is invariably left to the local councils, who have little time and even less money, and the unscrupulous trader knows it.
