Buying Process Top Tips

Here are our top buying tips:

• Make a plan: What do you require from your caravan, in terms of park location, park facilities and features, and the caravan unit itself?

• Spend time researching online.
• Select the holiday park first, followed by the caravan and extras, then select the pitch.
• Think carefully about which extras you will benefit from most, as these will incur a fee. These may include heating and glazing options, for example.
• Make a shortlist of parks you want to view.
• Book sales visits at the parks which most meet your criteria.
• After each visit, make a list of the pros and cons of that particular park.
• Ensure you fully understand the full cost of purchasing the caravan.
• Remember to factor the value of free holidays into those costs!
• Understand that, while subletting can help with those costs, it is unlikely to eradicate them entirely. Remember that the park's management service will save you hassle with subletting.
• Read all paperwork thoroughly
• Approach ownership as a long-term lifestyle investment.
