FAQs
Is buying a holiday home worth it?
Buying a holiday home is worth it for frequent getaways and cost savings over time. Consider personal enjoyment, costs, investment value, and community benefits to decide if it aligns with your goals.
Can I live permanently in a holiday home?
You cannot live permanently in a holiday home. Our holiday parks are typically licensed for recreational use only, which means they are not intended to be used as primary residences. However, we do allow extended stays, especially during the peak seasons, but it’s essential to check the specific rules and regulations of each park. For those seeking a permanent residence, our residential park homes, which are licensed for year-round living, are a more suitable option.
What is the difference between a park home and a holiday home?
The main difference between a park home and a holiday home lies in their intended use and licensing. Residential park homes are designed for permanent, year-round living and are located in our residential parks that are licensed for full-time occupancy. Holiday homes, on the other hand, are intended for temporary, recreational use and are typically found in our holiday parks that operate seasonally.
Do holiday homes pay Council Tax?
Holiday home owners do not pay Council Tax, as holiday homes are not considered primary residences. Instead, the park owner typically pays business rates, which might be reflected in your annual site fees. It’s important to verify the specific regulations of each holiday park and adhere to them to avoid any legal or financial complications.
What are the rules of living in a holiday home?
Rules include seasonal use only, paying site fees, maintaining the home, adhering to conduct guidelines, and following park-specific policies and vehicle restrictions.
How long do holiday homes last?
Holiday homes generally last between 20 to 30 years, depending on construction quality, maintenance, and environmental exposure. Regular upkeep can extend their lifespan.
