There are many holiday homes for sale in Scotland, but if you’re serious about buying one, you shouldn’t overlook holiday parks. You may be considering quaint cottages, modern flats or sizeable houses, but buying property on a holiday park has a number of advantages.
Price
Compared to cottages and houses, holiday homes located on holiday parks, such as static caravans and lodges, are cheaper to purchase.
For example at Coastal Kippford we have a number of 2016 3 bedroom static caravans for sale from £41,496. Some of our older units, such as the 2005 Atlas Everglade 2 bedroom caravan cost just £6,550!
Lodges are larger and consequently more expensive and range from £69,000 for a 2 bedroom 2010 Boston Lodge to £109,515 for a 3 bedroom 2017 Willerby Pinehurst Lodge.
Compare those prices to the average cost of a house in South West Scotland of £138,990.
Location
Holiday parks are set in their own grounds, providing a sense of space and freedom when you stay there. Normally they are close to both the countryside and local towns, providing a wide variety of things to do when you are staying there, so you’ll never get bored.
Accommodation Size
Many modern static caravans and lodges sleep 4 to 6 adults plus 2 children. That means you can holiday as a large group whenever you want and invite your best friends to join you for a long weekend away – you’ll become very popular!
Accommodation Facilities
Static caravans and lodges offer all of the facilities you’d expect in a cottage or flat: for example: separate bedrooms, family shower/bathroom, dining area, living area, double glazing, heating and a fully equipped kitchen. In fact they have everything you need for your future holidays.
Exclusive Outdoor Space
Unlike a flat, static caravans and lodges on holiday parks have their own outdoor space for the exclusive use of the Owners. The majority of our holiday homes have a lovely decked area ideal for relaxing, particularly when the weather is good!
Security
When you’re not staying at your holiday home, is it safe? Most holiday parks have good security measures in place. At Coastal Kippford our holiday home Owners have peace of mind knowing there are staff on site 24/7.
Rental Income
If you want to rent your holiday home when you’re not using it, a static caravan or lodge on a holiday park is a great option. At Coastal Kippford we offer a rental management service for holiday home Owners wishing to rent their caravan or lodge. The income generated often offsets the annual costs of the property, making it even more affordable. Renters are attracted to the Park for the same reasons as holiday home Owners – beautiful surroundings, open all year, pet friendly and the wide range of local attractions which cater for all ages.
There are many holiday homes for sale in Scotland, but if you want to purchase an affordable property in a great location, with earning potential from rental income, a holiday park static caravan or lodge could be just the answer.
