Ownership hub
Static Caravan Ownership
Buying a static caravan is a lifestyle decision with real financial edges. Get the numbers right and you have a brilliant second home by the sea; get them wrong and the fees and rules can turn the dream sour.
This hub collects everything we have written for owners: the costs nobody tells you about, the park terms that matter, and the questions to ask before you sign.

Three numbers decide whether static caravan ownership works for you: the purchase price, the annual site fee and its trajectory, and what you will realistically recover on resale. Everything else — the pool, the beach, the family weekends — is the reward for getting those three right.
Treat any claim that holiday homes are “a great investment” with suspicion. They are not. They are a great way to spend the money you have earmarked for holidays — and a poor vehicle for making money.
