The
Answers to the Questions that you might have
about Owning Your Own Caravan Holiday Home
When
can I use my Caravan Holiday Home?
You can use your Holiday Home when the park is open, 1st March to
the 31st Jan (closed Feb) (11months).
Can
I sub - let my Holiday Home?
We do not allow commercial sub - letting of Holiday Homes, although
family and friends are welcome to stay in your home.
Where
do I start?
We
can provide you with various information about owning your own Holiday
Home at Oaklands Park. This will include details of homes currently
available. You can buy a new home from us or a second hand caravan
from an existing occupier. In both cases all payments are made to
us as the park owner - you should not pay anyone else direct for their
caravan.
About
New Homes.
At Oaklands park we have a selection of new plots available on our
new development. These plots can accommodate a new home that we have
in stock or we can order a new home of your choice. Prices of new
homes include transport, delivery, siting, connection to services
( including piped gas), skirting storage unit and parking bay. The
quoted price is the turn key price.
Please see our
separate price list for details of homes currently available. We would
also be pleased to quote for any new Caravan Holiday Home of your
choice.

What
rights and obligations are there?
All Holiday Home owners will have a formal written agreement recommended
by the main trade organisations. In addition the agreement is endorsed
by the Office of Fair Trading. The agreement sets out the obligations
of both the caravan owner and the park owner. Please ask for a copy
of the agreement if you would like more details.
How
do I sell my Holiday Home?
All sales of Holiday Caravans are documented by us and the transaction
takes place
through us - this applies to all sales including to family and friends.
Please let us know if you wish to sell your Caravan and we can provide
more details of the procedure. The re-sale procedure is also set out
in the occupation agreement which includes our entitlement to a commission
of 15% plus VAT.
How
long can my caravan stay at Oaklands Park?
We offer to owners of new Caravan Holiday Homes an agreement
for 15 years. This is longer than the standard 10 year agreement which
is offered by many parks.
Are
there any other rules?
There are a set of park rules that apply to everybody
visiting Oaklands Park. The rules apply to all visitors including
day or short term visitors.
