For the majority of our caravans and lodges, we also include the cost of brand-new decking. If decking is not included, we will notify you when viewing.
Do you offer finance?
We do not offer finance ourselves, however, we have partnered with Pegasus Finance, who specialise in finance for caravans and lodges. Do let us know if you would like their assistance and we can connect you.
Are there any hidden fees?
There are no hidden fees during the process of buying a holiday caravan or lodge.
The process allows the buyer and park owner to deal directly, so there are no third-party fees.
During the process, there are several elements to budget for:
* Annual Pitch Fees – This includes the security and management of the park, your local authority rates contribution and waste management.
* Utilities – On our parks, these are metered, so you are only charged based on your usage.
* Insurance – All holiday caravans and lodges must be insured.
Does my holiday caravan or lodge come with a warranty?
If the holiday caravan or lodge is new, it will come with the manufacturers warranty.
All our pre-owned caravans and lodges come with our own 6-month park warranty, giving you piece of mind.
How long can I have my holiday caravan or lodge for?
The site license will vary from each caravan to lodge.
New holiday caravans are offered with a 15-year site license, whereas a new lodge is offered with a 25-year site license.
Pre-owned holiday caravans and lodges can vary.
Do I have to keep my holiday caravan or lodge for the full license period?
The site license at the time of purchase is our commitment to you. There are however, several options available to:
* If you are enjoying the park and your time with us, there is the option to upgrade to a new holiday caravans or lodge, with a new site license.
* If circumstances change, you can sell your holiday caravan or lodge to the park or to a new prospective buyer, who will have the benefit of the remaining years on the site license.
* Let a friend of family member take over the license.
Can I live in my holiday caravan or lodge?
We do not allow any owner to live on site or class their holiday caravan or lodge as their main residence.
This would be a breach of your site license and of our park license to the local authority.
Our holiday parks are open for a minimum of 10 months per year, providing a wide window in which to use it.
Can I rent out my holiday caravan or lodge?
We do not allow owners to rent or sub-let their holiday caravan or lodge. We do allow friends and family to use it, at your discretion.
Are your parks pet friendly?
Yes! All of our park’s welcome pets.
We do insist that they are kept on a lead at all times around the park and that they are not left on their own in your holiday caravan or lodge.
Can I live permanently in a holiday home?
No.
Holiday homes are designed for recreational and holiday use and cannot be used as your permanent residential address.
Each park has its own holiday season, and owners must maintain a permanent residential address elsewhere.
What are the average running costs of a static caravan in the UK?
Running costs vary depending on the park and holiday home, but typically include:
- Annual site fees
- Gas and electricity
- Insurance
- Maintenance and servicing
- Optional Wi-Fi
We’ll always explain the expected running costs before you purchase so there are no surprises.
Can I rent out my static caravan when I’m not using it?
No.
Holiday homes at Coast & Country Parks are for owners, their family and invited guests only. Private subletting or holiday letting is not permitted.
This helps maintain the peaceful atmosphere across our parks.
How long does a static caravan last?
With regular maintenance, many modern static caravans can last for decades.
The lifespan depends on factors such as construction quality, how well it’s maintained and the terms of the park licence.
Looking after your holiday home with routine servicing can significantly extend its life.
What’s the difference between a static caravan and a timeshare?
Owning a static caravan means you purchase your own holiday home on a holiday park and can enjoy it whenever the park is open.
A timeshare gives you the right to use a property during allocated weeks each year but you don’t own the individual holiday home.
Static caravan ownership offers much greater flexibility and a place that’s yours to personalise.
Do you pay council tax on a static caravan?
No.
Holiday caravans on licensed holiday parks are generally not subject to council tax because they are not permanent residential properties.
Instead, owners pay annual site fees, which contribute towards maintaining the park and its facilities.
