Selling

Sell My Caravan

Selling a static caravan is not like selling a car. The park controls the process in most cases, and your realistic resale value depends on terms you agreed years before.

Here is how to sell your static caravan and get the best possible outcome.

How the process works

In most cases the park must approve any buyer and may insist on brokering the sale, often charging a commission on top. Your licence agreement sets out the resale process, the commission, and whether you can sell to a private buyer. Find that clause first.

Getting a realistic price

Depreciation means your home is worth a fraction of its original price. To value it: check comparable homes for sale on your park, account for age against the park’s age limits, and be honest about condition. A home approaching the park’s age limit is very hard to sell at all.

Preparing the sale

Gather the service history, ownership documents and any receipts. A clean, well-presented home sells faster. Be clear about the transfer fee and any park commission before agreeing any buyer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my static caravan privately?+

Only if your park allows private sales. Many parks require sales to go through them and charge commission. Check your agreement.

How much commission do parks charge?+

It varies — commonly 10–25% of the sale price depending on park and terms. Confirm the exact figure in writing before agreeing.

What if the park won’t approve my buyer?+

The park usually has the right to approve buyers. If a buyer is rejected, you may need to keep marketing through the park’s process.
