Why should you buy a static caravan in the South West? 

Intro:

Buying a static caravan in the southwest of England can offer many benefits, and even more so if you enjoy frequently darting off on holiday! Here are some reasons to consider grabbing your slice of paradise. 

The scenery:

The South West of England is famous for many things, but no more so than the breath-taking scenery it has to offer from its jagged coastlines to its perfectly crafted rolling hills, from Dorset to Cornwall there is always something to look at. Having your very own static caravan here means you can immerse yourself in its beauty anytime you want. 

The destination:

The South West is one the most popular holiday destinations in the world with 4.4 million visitor nights in Devon in 2022. Having a static caravan in the South West will offer a comfortable and convenient base to escape to all the attractions such as, The Jurassic Coast, Dartmoor National Park and The Eden Project. If there aren’t your thing then in the South West you are never far from a country trail or stunning beach. 

Community and social life:

Most caravan parks in the South West are family-owned parks with an amazing sense of community. Having a static at one of these parks will allow you to become apart of this community and chat with like-minded individuals who have probably been coming back year after year. This can lead to not only lasting friendship but could also be an amazing tool to find out about local events and attractions in your area. 

Rental and income potential:

Disclaimer, not all parks will allow you to do this! If you are not planning on using you static all year round you could consider renting it out and in turn this could aid in offsetting things like ground rent and maintenance costs. 

Things to consider:

Before buying a static caravan, it is incredibly important to consider all the factors as it is a huge financial investment. The factors to consider are, where is this van going to go, are there any size restrictions on the park, how to properly maintain a static caravan and what will the price be on park.
