When buying a static caravan, it’s important to consider location, any site fees, and the quality of the caravan’s build. Take a look at our Guide To Buying A Static Caravan for more information.
A static caravan is a worthwhile investment, especially if you prioritise having a personalised holiday home for yourself and your family situated in a welcoming community. You will also have the added benefit of flexibility and freedom, being able to come and go whenever you wish.
Council tax is only required for permanent residences. As our static caravans are not suitable for full-time living, you won’t have to pay council tax.
