Lodges for sale in Greater London

Lodges for sale within reach of London, on parks across the Essex, Kent and Surrey borders.

There are very few holiday parks inside the capital itself, so London buyers look outwards. The Essex creeks and the Kent coast are the two obvious directions, with the Surrey and Sussex borders a little further round. What tends to decide it is the journey on a Friday evening rather than the park itself.

London buyers are choosing a journey as much as a lodge. Holiday parks inside the capital are close to non existent, so the realistic options sit in Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, and the difference between an hour and two hours decides how often the lodge actually gets used. Check the season length early, because a twelve month licence and a ten month licence carry different prices for the same home. Ask precisely what the site fee covers, since rates, water, gas and insurance are sometimes inside the figure and sometimes charged separately. And ask what age limit the park sets on lodges, as it caps how long you can keep it on that pitch.

Buying a lodge near London

Three directions do most of the work. East into Essex gives you the creeks, Mersea and the Blackwater within about ninety minutes. South east into Kent puts Whitstable, Herne Bay and the Isle of Sheppey in reach. South and south west, the Surrey and Sussex borders trade a longer drive for quieter countryside.

Season length is worth settling first. A twelve month licence lets you use the lodge in any month, a ten month licence closes for part of the winter, and the gap shows in both the purchase price and the annual fee. Neither permits permanent residence, whatever the season.

Ask for the whole annual cost rather than the site fee alone. Rates, water, gas, electricity and insurance can add a great deal, and parks package them differently. Ask what fees have done over the past three years, not just what they are this year.

Buying a Lodge Near London: FAQs

Are there any holiday parks inside Greater London?

Almost none. Land values and planning make holiday parks impractical inside the capital, so buyers based in London generally look to Essex, Kent, Surrey or Sussex, most of which are within a two hour drive.

Can I live in a lodge all year round?

No. Lodges on holiday parks are for holiday use even where the park is open twelve months. If you need a permanent address you need a residential park home on a site holding a residential licence.

What do site fees cost near London?

Fees vary by park, pitch and lodge size, and parks within easy reach of the M25 tend to sit at the higher end because demand is strong. Always ask what the quoted figure includes, since rates, water and insurance are often billed on top.

How old can a lodge be to stay on a park?

Most parks apply a maximum age, commonly between fifteen and twenty five years, and it differs from site to site. Ask for the written policy before buying, since it limits how long the lodge can remain there.

How do I sell a lodge later?

Most parks handle the resale for you and charge a commission on the sale price. Selling privately is often possible as well, though the park may still take a fee. Check the commission rate and resale terms in your agreement when you buy.
