When is the Best Time to Buy a Static Caravan?
If you’re dreaming of owning a static caravan in the UK, you might be wondering “when is the best time to buy?”.
With holiday parks all over the country offering different open seasons, prices and availability, timing your purchase correctly can help you get the best deal and make the most of your new holiday home.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key factors to consider – including the best time of year to buy and how to start your journey to owning a static caravan.
Your New Holiday Home Lifestyle
Owning a static caravan at Billing Aquadrome is the perfect way to enjoy regular getaways without the hassle of booking accommodation. Whether you prefer a spring, summer or autumn break, a holiday home offers that feeling of home-like comfort, convenience and gives you the freedom to escape whenever you like (within season!).
Many holiday parks in the UK like ours are open for between 9 to 12 months a year, meaning you can enjoy your static caravan throughout the year. But before making a purchase, it’s important to research site locations, facilities and fees to ensure they fit your lifestyle and plans for the future.
Billing Aquadrome has some of the best facilities available after a recent multi-million pound refurbishment. Not only that, you can join a thriving community of holiday home owners that enjoy all the benefits our park has to offer.
Things to Consider when Buying a Static Caravan
Before you commit to buying a holiday home, here are some key things to consider:
- Is the park open when I need it? Some close for winter, while others operate year-round. Billing Aquadrome is open from 1st February to 6th January.
- What are the site fees? Costs vary depending on location, size and facilities. Billing Aquadrome buyers get their site fees included for 2025!
- Are there restrictions on pets? If you have a dog or want to bring other pets to your holiday home, you’ll need to check the park’s policies. We welcome dogs on site at Billing Aquadrome.
- What facilities does the park offer? Consider on-site amenities like shops, entertainment and Wi-Fi. We’re proud to say we’ve recently made a multi-million pound investment into the on-site facilities at Billing Aquadrome.
- Are there any extra costs? Utility bills, insurance and maintenance are ongoing expenses to factor in – check your site’s policies for more information.
5 Reasons to Buy a New Static Caravan in Spring
If you want to get the best deal and secure a prime plot, spring can be a great time to buy a static caravan and steal a march on other buyers. Here’s why:
1. More Time to Prepare
During the colder months, demand for static caravans is lower which gives you more time to research and find the right holiday home for you. You won’t have to rush your decision while the weather and competition is cooler.
2. Summer Price Increases
Across the UK, prices for static caravans tend to rise as we head towards summer – sometimes by up to 7%. If you buy during the winter or spring, there is a chance you could save money before higher demand takes effect.
3. Sites Aren’t Overcrowded
Caravan parks are usually quieter in winter and spring, making it easier to view holiday homes, explore facilities and consider a deal without pressure.
4. More Caravan Plots Available
Popular parks fill up fast, especially in sought-after locations near the countryside like Billing Aquadrome. Buying in spring increases your chances of securing the best pitch before the peak season.
5. Site Fee Offers for New Owners
Some parks offer discounted site fees or incentives like ‘3 months free’ to buyers during the off-season. This can help offset initial costs and make buying more affordable. Billing Aquadrome buyers get their site fees included for 2025!
