Why Buy a Static Caravan with Westcountry Resorts?

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a holiday home that’s always ready when you are, then buying a static caravan could be the perfect choice. With westcountryresorts.co.uk, you can explore a wide range of static caravans for sale across the West Country and beyond — making it easier than ever to find your own home away from home. 

The Benefits of Buying a Static Caravan

A Personal Retreat

When you buy a static caravan, you’re investing in more than just a property — you’re creating a personal escape. Decorate it to your style, stock it with your essentials, and enjoy a stress-free holiday destination whenever you need it.

Income Opportunities

Many caravan parks allow you to let out your caravan when you’re not using it. While it’s wise not to rely solely on rental income, it can help offset costs like site fees and utilities.

Flexibility & Freedom

Forget about last-minute bookings or expensive hotels. Owning a static caravan gives you the freedom to holiday on your terms, with everything you need right there waiting for you.

How to Buy a Static Caravan with Westcountry Resorts

Step 1: Browse Listings

Westcountry Resorts makes it simple to browse static caravans for sale by location or holiday park. Whether you’re looking in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, or the Isle of Wight, you’ll find a wide selection to suit your needs.

Step 2: Enquire for Details

Each listing on westcountryresorts.co.uk provides detailed specifications, high-quality photos, and an enquiry option, allowing you to request more information or book a viewing easily with one of the team. 

Step 3: Understand Site Agreements

When you buy a static caravan, it comes with a licence agreement from the park. This will outline costs, rules, and the length of your licence — so it’s essential to understand the details before committing. Westcountry Resorts can help you understand the agreement if required.

Step 4: Visit the Caravan & Park

Seeing the caravan in person is essential. Take the time to explore the park, inspect the facilities, and get a sense of the community before making your decision. Some customers stay in the park so they can experience it firsthand.

Step 5: Finalise Your Purchase

Once you’ve chosen your caravan, Westcountry Resorts will guide you through the paperwork, costs, and handover process, allowing you to enjoy endless holidays.

Top Tips Before You Buy a Static Caravan

• Budget carefully: Factor in licence fees, utilities, insurance, and maintenance. These are ongoing costs which tend to experience annual increases, so be prepared for this when budgeting.
• Review letting policies: If you’re hoping to rent out your static caravan, check the park’s rules first — not all sites allow subletting. Even where letting is permitted, rental income should be viewed as a welcome extra rather than a guaranteed source, as demand can vary. If the park doesn’t provide a letting service, you could still market your caravan independently through platforms like Gumtree, Facebook, or Airbnb.
• Read the fine print: Understand the length of your licence and exit clauses. The caravan licence agreement will explain the terms and conditions of the lease.  It will cover the licence period, any charges associated with selling, and the procedures you must adhere to.
• Check the park status: When looking for a static caravan or lodge, check the park status, ie whether the park has a holiday-only licence or allows residential use. If you are looking for a residential abode, a holiday site will not be suitable even if it’s open for 12 months. If in doubt, watch the BH&HPA Guide.
• It is advantageous to select a park that is a member of a governing body (e.g. NCC, BH&HPA) which offers some consumer protection.
• Consider the resale value: The park’s location can impact its resale value and ease of sale.  More popular parks in coastal locations with facilities tend to be more popular than quiet rural parks without facilities. The park’s reputation can also impact its resale value, so be sure to conduct thorough research.
• Visit the park: Nothing beats experiencing the setting first-hand. Talk to other owners and use the facilities, or book a short stay to experience the park directly.
