Willow Wood Residential Park
Willow Wood Park comprises a high-quality bungalow-style estate, targeted at retired and semi-retired householders, which began developing in 2003.   The development has essentially created a modern village of 44 households where a caravan site existed previously.  The Community has come together over recent years to embrace the concept of a sustainable community, demonstrating residents' wishes to interact, care for, and assist one another, as well as to adopt the principles of self-help.

The Park sits some ten minutes walk from the village of Stoneyburn with its Post Office, pharmacy and convenience shops. A regular bus service is accessed some five minutes walk from the park, linking to West Calder (ten minutes' drive) with its larger shops, medical and dentistry services, fuel and the local library. West Calder railway station has hourly services to Edinburgh and Glasgow with half-hourly services from Bathgate (15 minutes drive).
The Willow Wood Residents Association enjoys over 75% membership among the residents and regularly organises social events such as an open day for children, get-togethers, coffee mornings, and an annual 'fish and chip' supper night A central focus is the community garden, which was entirely established and is maintained by volunteers from the residents association and is funded from association funds. The garden is a pleasant, quiet space used by all residents. Learn more about Willow Wood online at Willow Wood West Lothian

BUYING A PARK HOME IN SCOTLAND
The purchase of a park or mobile home in Scotland is similar in procedure to the sale of a bricks and mortar property but the legal requirements are very different.  When you buy a park home you buy the property but not the land it stands on and essentially contract to rent the land for the lifetime of the home. Legal conveyancing is therefore not a requirement, home reports and energy performance certificates are not required by law, but these may still be desirable. The use of a solicitor is not mandatory.
A park home is ‘conveyed’ by assignment of the contract between the resident and site owner.  A seller does not require the permission or participation of the site owner in the transaction other than to be informed of certain details of the transaction after a bargain has been struck, and to receive the rate of commission laid down by law. Further legal information is available from the sellers
