11 Stunning Parks across YorkshireGUIDE TO OWNERSHIP
Whether you're just starting to explore the idea or you're ready to take the next step, our guide to ownership is here to walk you through everything you need to know. From choosing the right park to understanding the costs, we've broken it all down so you can feel confident and informed every step of the way.
HOW TO BUY A STATIC CARAVAN OR LODGE
We get it – figuring out how to buy a static caravan can feel a bit overwhelming at first. There's a lot to think about, plenty of questions bouncing around your head, and you want to make sure you're making the right choice.
That's completely normal, and honestly, that's exactly why we're here.
OVER 40 YEARS OF HELPING FAMILIES LIKE YOURS
We're a family-owned business, and we've been guiding people through how to buy a static caravan for more than 40 years. That's four decades of answering questions, easing worries, and helping families find their perfect Yorkshire retreat. Our team isn't here to pressure you or rush you into anything – we're here to share what we know and help you make the decision that's right for you.
NO PRESSURE, JUST HONEST CONVERSATION
Here's how we do things differently: when you visit our parks, the time is genuinely yours. Want to wander around for an hour imagining life as an owner? Go for it. Fancy grabbing a coffee and soaking up the atmosphere? Please do. Need to ask the same question three times because you want to be absolutely sure? Ask away. Understanding how to buy a static caravan shouldn't feel like you're being sold to – it should feel like you're being supported. And that's our approach, always.
OUR 4 STEPS TO OWNERSHIP
We know that buying a static caravan or lodge involves more than just picking a home you like. That's why we've created our 4-Steps to Ownership guide – a straightforward breakdown of the whole process from start to finish. It covers everything: what to look for, what questions to ask, how financing works, what ownership actually involves day-to-day, and how to make sure you're choosing the right park for your family.
STEP 1: Decide if the holiday park is the right park for you and your family
Ask yourself:
- Is the journey ok?
- Does the park have the right facilities for everybody in your family?
- What does the local area have to offer?
- How long is the park open each year?
- Is the park accessible by all the family?
- Can all the family and friends use the holiday home?
STEP 2: How affordable are the running costs?
Ask yourself:
- What are all the costs involved?
- Can we sub-let to cover these costs?
- When do we receive the bills?
- Can we pay in instalments?
- Do we only pay for what we use?
STEP 3: Find a holiday home within your budget that suits your needs
Ask yourself:
- What do holiday homes cost?
- Do we have to buy a new holiday home?
- What holiday homes are available?
- Are there finance packages available?
- What does the price include?
STEP 4: Find a location to suit you and the holiday home you have chosen
Ask yourself:
- How do we know what plots are available?
- What are the different areas on the park?
- Do the site fees vary on different areas of the park?
- How long will it take to site and make our holiday home ready to use?
SITE FEES
A question that comes up often with those interested in a holiday home is about the site fees to pay per year on the parks. As each park has different site fees, and even varying prices within the same park, it’s best to discuss this with our sales team. But our site fees generally start from £X,XXX
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
To make things easy, we’ll show you the total price for the holiday home. This includes the current season’s site fees, two gas bottles, and a regulator (if needed). We’ll also include steps to your holiday home with a handrail, siting and transport, your connections and gas safety test, and VAT. On some parks, the price may also include a barrier fob, WiFi installation, a year of data and a TV aerial. Just let an advisor know if you’re interested in any of these extras.
