If time matters, choose the selling route before writing an advert. A park buy-back, an on-pitch private sale and a sale for collection involve different buyers, paperwork and practical arrangements.
Start by finding out whether the caravan can remain on its pitch, what your park requires and when you need the sale completed. That gives you a useful basis for comparing the options.
Your holiday park may be interested in buying the caravan or offering part-exchange. Ask for the figure, any deductions and the proposed completion date in writing.
If you're replacing the caravan, compare the total cost of the change. A large part-exchange allowance is not enough to judge the deal without knowing the replacement price and other charges.
A private buyer may be interested in the park and location as well as the caravan. Check that the proposed sale is permitted and establish the park's approval process before making promises in an advert.
You will need photos, an accurate description, time for enquiries and a plan for viewings. A sale can take longer if the buyer needs park approval or has questions about the remaining pitch term and annual fees.
Private selling may suit you if you have time and want to manage the process. It does not offer a guaranteed completion date or price.
A specialist buyer purchases the caravan to remove it from its current site. This may suit you if it needs to leave the pitch or you would prefer to avoid managing adverts and viewings.
The offer will reflect the caravan and the work involved in collecting and reselling it. It may differ from an on-pitch private asking price, so compare the whole arrangement.
At Sell My Static, we respond to enquiries within 24 hours. We can usually start an assessment from photos and arrange a visit if more information is needed. If you accept our offer, UK collection is free.
Have your make, model, approximate year, dimensions and location ready. Photograph the outside, every main room and any damage.
Ask your park for written removal requirements, charges and available access dates. Tell the buyer about outstanding finance or site fees at the start. If you have a deadline, say exactly what it is and why it matters.
Confirm who will handle each practical task before booking transport. An agreed price alone does not mean the park is ready to release the caravan.
For each route, write down the price, costs you must pay, likely completion date and work still required from you. Check when payment clears and what conditions remain before the offer is final.
Our valuation guide explains the different price comparisons. The costs guide covers the charges to check.
