Owning a second home in the country is more accessible than you might think. Holiday home developments consisting of luxury static caravans are available across the country and are often situated in areas of natural beauty, tucked away in the country
How would you like to get away from it all every once in a while? How about every weekend? Sounds like a pipe dream doesn’t it but actually owning a second home in the country is more accessible than you might think.
OK so owning a country pile may be beyond most people’s means but there is another alternative. Holiday home developments consisting of luxury static caravans are available across the country and are often situated in areas of natural beauty, tucked away in the country.
If the idea of screaming kids, slide pools and fun fairs fills you with dread don’t worry, that’s really not what we’re talking about here. Developments are available that are more like neighbourhood communities than ‘Hi-de-hi’! That’s because they don’t come with ‘seaside’ style facilities and the homes on them are 100% privately owned. This means that each owner takes responsibility for their holiday homes and treats it as they would their ‘full time’ home. The sense of community comes from seeing the same people whenever you visit your home away from home, you simply don’t get the turnaround of people that you would on a rental park and therefore avoid the ‘unknown quantity’ of the behaviour of the neighbours on any given visit.
Sub letting these homes is strictly prohibited on these parks however family and friends of the owners are welcome to stay. Responsibility for these visitors however always remains with the owner and of course they are staying on their property so they will be confident that they will show the proper respect for the home and its neighbours and surroundings.
The cost is not inconsiderable, prices of a holiday home start at £10,000 and can reach as high as £100,000 and then there are annual park fees to pay. It is however still less expensive than buying a second house and what you are buying into is a lifestyle. We call them holiday homes but for many owners it would be more accurate to call them ‘weekend homes’ because they use them to get away most weekends, and why not - they have access to them all year round.
A lot of owners see their second homes as a get away from the day to day grind. They work hard all week, possibly in a built up hectic city, and on the weekends they get away from the rat race and relax in their other home. There’s no element of ‘slumming it’ either – these are luxury homes, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with all mod cons. All have gas, electricity, running water and internet connectivity – they really are a home from home in every sense!
So where to start? The best option is to choose a location you enjoy visiting and would be happy to go back to time and time again. If you plan on using your holiday home regularly, somewhere within reasonable travelling distance from your own home needs to be a consideration. There are parks available across the north of England with popular destinations including the Yorkshire Dales, Weardale and Lancashire. Visit the parks before making any decision, all will have customer representatives who will be happy to show you around and discuss your options. Finance is also available to spread the cost of your lifestyle investment.
