There is no single removal price that fits every caravan. The work depends on the unit, its location, access and the park's requirements. Before accepting a sale price, establish which costs are included and which remain yours to pay.
Selling to Sell My Static includes free UK collection and removal from site. Any fees you owe your park remain your responsibility. Send us the details and we’ll help you understand what they mean for your offer.
For a caravan staying on its pitch, ask the park about any transfer fee, commission, approval process or checks. Confirm how fees paid in advance will be treated.
For a caravan leaving the park, ask about preparing it for removal, disconnecting services, moving it off the pitch and access for the collection vehicle. The park should explain what work is required and who may carry it out.
Your own agreement and written quotations are more useful than another owner's bill. Their unit, access and contractual terms may be different.
Disconnection means safely separating the caravan from services such as gas, electricity, water and drainage. Use the people authorised and qualified for the work; agree this with the park.
De-siting usually involves preparing the unit and moving it from its pitch towards a collection point. Ask the park what it means by the term in its quotation.
Transport is the move away from the site. The transport operator needs the dimensions, route and access information to price the job.
Decking, skirting, steps and other additions may require separate work. Do not assume a general removal quotation includes dismantling them or clearing everything from the pitch.
Check the scope of the work, who carries it out, the price including VAT where applicable and any circumstances that could change the total.
If access is tight, include photos of the approach and surrounding units. If specialist lifting is required, make sure the quotation addresses it. A low transport starting price does not tell you the total cost of preparing and moving your particular caravan.
For context on written procedures and removal charges, see the NCC's holiday-park guidance, section 7. Check which terms apply under your own agreement.
Start with the agreed price. Subtract the costs you are responsible for, outstanding park or utility balances, and any finance settlement that must be made.
Outstanding finance or site fees are taken into account in our valuation. Have the latest figures ready so we can give you an informed offer. For more detail, read what affects your static caravan’s value and your options for selling outside the park.
For illustration only: an £8,000 offer with £1,200 of seller-paid charges leaves £6,800 before any other balances. A £7,200 offer with £200 of seller-paid charges leaves £7,000. These are examples, not typical charges or caravan valuations.
Also compare timing and responsibility. An offer is easier to assess when it is clear who handles transport, what you must arrange and when payment will clear.
Send us your caravan details and photos, including its location and anything the park has quoted. We'll respond within 24 hours and explain the information needed for an offer.
With Sell My Static, we arrange and pay for collection and removal from site. Tell us about any separate charges your park has quoted before accepting an offer, so everyone is clear about the arrangements.
