Home/Ownership guide
The straightforward guide

Buy the escape.
Understand the commitment.

Holiday-home ownership can be brilliant when the park, costs and rules fit the way you actually want to use it.

The Clear View

Four facts belong beside every price.

The purchase price is only the start. These four facts shape whether a holiday home is a sensible fit for you.

Purchase price
What is included?
Siting, connections, steps and warranty can vary.
Annual site fee
What will recur?
Ask about utilities, rates, insurance and increases.
Season & licence
When and for how long?
The open season is not a residential right.
Subletting policy
Can guests pay to stay?
Park rules always come before any income plan.

Budget for the year,
not only the keys.

A sensible buying budget leaves room for recurring costs and the unexpected.

UPFRONT

The holiday home

Purchase price, siting, connections, decking and optional inventory.

EVERY YEAR

The pitch and running costs

Site fee, utilities, insurance, maintenance and any local charges.

OVER TIME

Depreciation and resale

A holiday caravan is a lifestyle purchase, not a house-price investment.

The buying journey / 03

Seven sensible steps.

The UI will eventually turn this guidance into a saved checklist attached to each shortlist.

  1. 01

    Choose the coast

    Start with journey time and how often you will realistically return.

  2. 02

    Choose the park

    Visit more than once and decide whether its pace, facilities and rules fit.

  3. 03

    Set the full budget

    Include annual fees, utilities, insurance and a maintenance allowance.

  4. 04

    Compare the home

    Condition, dimensions, warranty and pitch matter as much as décor.

  5. 05

    Read the licence

    Understand the agreement term, age limits, sale process and ending conditions.

  6. 06

    Confirm every inclusion

    Get the price, fees, decking and any pitch premium in writing.

  7. 07

    Sleep on it

    A good park team will still want the fit to be right tomorrow.
