This is a hot topic at the minute and the simple answer is no. Static holiday caravans are not built to residential standards, and more importantly, you won’t be afforded the protection of the mobile homes act. All of our holiday parks have a strict holiday park licence and as such our parks are all for holiday use only and you must provide us with your residential address to be an owner with us. If you’re thinking of living in a mobile home, make sure you choose a residentially licensed park with the appropriate written statement.
Yes, you may sub-let your caravan on all of our parks apart from Maenan Abbey & Green Pastures, providing the caravan is not over ten years old. Sub-letting is entirely your responsibility. Thornley Leisure Parks do not take any responsibility for any aspect of the private sub-letting of your holiday home. All owners who do choose to sub-let their holiday homes must pay an administration charge and obtain an annual gas and electric landlords certificate (which we can arrange) and a copy of this must be held by us.
The number one cost associated with owning a static caravan is the site fees which vary across our Parks. We bill annually, but you can opt to pay within one of our payment plans, which will spread the cost for you over the year. There will also be other associated costs to keep in mind such as gas, electric, insurance water & rates. For further information on this please get in touch and we can provide details of the site fees for your chosen park.
