Are you looking to sell your Static Caravan but don’t know where to start?
Don’t worry, we’ll help you with our guide on how to sell your static caravan. Here are the 3 options at your disposal:
Selling your static caravan to the Park
Selling to your caravan park is one option, the model & location is sometimes key here, but traditionally don’t expect the best price from the parks, they may even say they’re not buying at this time for fear of a backlash because of their very low offer.
The first thing you should do is speak to the sales team and ask them if they are interested in buying your caravan back, some parks rules & regulations state that you have to give the park first refusal when considering selling your caravan.
You can sometimes negotiate a better price depending on your circumstances:
- The Make & Model of your caravan.
- The plot & site location.
- Availability of additional features like Skirting, Veranda, Decking, etc.
- Central Heating or Double glazing retrofits etc.
Selling the Caravan to a Dealer
If your park owner doesn’t agree to buy your Caravan or gives you an unreasonable offer, you can contact a dealer like Sellyourcaravan.com and see what figure you’ll get. It can be substantially higher than what your park will offer you, plus there’s no commission to pay via this option as you are selling off park.
Costs to consider using this option are, disconnection of your caravan from the services and plot to a suitable area for the caravan to be collected by the dealer, these vary from park to park and are typically in the region of £350-£1,000.00.
Once all outstanding fees and annual costs you may have with the park have been settled, the sale can be completed and collection of your caravan is paid for by the dealer.
Selling the Caravan or Lodge privately
Private sales are always difficult on parks, firstly parks will typically charge the buyer 15% on top of your asking price, and more often than not the park will intercept your potential buyer and offer them one of their sales vans, this process is never straight forward.
Selling to a reputable caravan dealer is always a very straight forward hassle-free option! I hope this blog post will be helpful to sell your Static Caravan.
