Static caravan parks in Herefordshire are spread across the county's river valleys and countryside, from sites near Ross-on-Wye and Hereford to quieter spots close to Ledbury, Leominster and Bromyard. Prices depend on the park's location, the caravan's age and its specification.
Most static caravans are sold for holiday use, with a set number of weeks' closure each year rather than year-round residency. Site fees typically cover ground rent, maintenance of communal areas and facilities, and most parks charge a resale or assignment commission when it's time to sell.
Think about how often you'll use the caravan and how far you're willing to travel, as well as the facilities each park offers. A site visit is the best way to get a feel for the location and neighbouring plots before you commit.
Prices vary by park, plot size, and the age and specification of the caravan. Older models on quieter rural parks cost less, while newer caravans on premium riverside pitches command higher prices. Compare a few parks to get a sense of the local market.
Most static caravan parks in Herefordshire are licensed for holiday use only, with a set closure period each year, so they aren't suitable as a permanent home. Check the site licence for the specific park if year-round use is important to you.
Site fees usually cover ground rent, maintenance of communal areas and facilities, and sometimes utilities. Ask the park for a full breakdown before you buy, as fees vary from site to site.
It's sensible to have the caravan checked for its age and condition, particularly the roof, gas and electrical systems, before committing to a purchase. Ask the park for maintenance records and details of any planned site improvements.
When you're ready to sell, most parks charge a resale or assignment commission on the sale price. Check the park's resale terms when you buy, as this affects your return when you eventually move on.
