Static caravans sited at holiday home parks are always highly sought after in the UK. After the pandemic, and with the cost of living ever increasing, the popularity of staycations has skyrocketed.
Buying a sited static caravan is the perfect way to enjoy holidays over and over again, and holiday parks are open through spring, summer and autumn, so you can enjoy it all season long.
If this lifestyle appeals to you, you may be considering purchasing a static caravan – and you’re probably wondering if there is an optimal time to buy.
Commonly, the advice would be to buy a static caravan in the “off season” or winter. This was typically when some parks would reduce prices to make some sales over the winter months.
However, this is no longer the case, and there are absolutely no guarantees that you might be able to find a bargain at the end of the season.
Further to this, price increases for park fees usually are reviewed or increased in the spring, or just before the opening date of the holiday park.
The best bit of advice is, if you’re looking at a specific Holiday Park or Site, simply look at their availability and inventory. Get in touch to see if there’s anything they can do with the price. But if it’s a highly sought-after location, it’s likely the prices will stay the same all year round.
The perfect time to look at buying a static caravan is both when you can afford it, and when you’re actually ready to start spending time in it. Being able to choose a caravan, buy it and use it relatively quickly is incredibly rewarding, and you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits very quickly. That’s why the best time to buy is now.
If you’re concerned about site fees at a specific time of year, then talk to the Park owner about there typical yearly increase rates. Also, often when you buy a static caravan mid-season, the Park offers an incentive, for example, ‘3 months of free site fees’.
If you have concerns about the time of year you’re looking to buy, then the best thing to do is to have a short list of preferred caravan park locations, and have a discussion with the Park owners or sales team. Asking the right questions is crucial:
