Our friendly park teams will explain everything to you before you make a decision.

As a holiday home or lodge owner, you’re welcome to use your new holiday home or lodge any time throughout the season. However, you can only stay for 28 consecutive days at a time and you cannot make it your permanent residence.

We do offer permanent residential homes at Penmarlam Lodge Retreat in Cornwall and Azure Seas Holiday Village in Suffolk as well as holiday homes for sale.

All other parks offer holiday homes for sale (recreational and leisure use only), so you can’t live in them all year.

Like your own home, there are running costs to consider when considering buying a holiday home which include:

• Site fees
• Gas and electric
• Non-domestic rates and water charges
• Other costs to consider include holiday home insurance, TV licence, maintenance, and annual gas appliance servicing

Our friendly park teams will explain everything to you before you make a decision.

Site fees change each year to reflect annual inflation and any investments we make on our parks. However, these are always reasonable and competitive compared to the industry.

Unlike traditional home purchases, there’s no stamp duty when buying a holiday home, making the process of buying even more straightforward.

This reduces the upfront costs and helps ensure that your journey into holiday home ownership is as smooth and simple as possible.

If you’re buying a holiday home, there is no Council Tax, but you will need to pay non-domestic rates.

If you’re buying a permanent residential home, Council Tax will apply as this would be your main residence.

At Lovat Parks, we ask every owner to take out insurance to cover their holiday home. It’s important to ensure that your holiday home is always adequately insured, and we’ll need an annual copy of the current insurance certificate.

We are proud to partner with Santander Consumer Finance as our sole finance provider. Santander Consumer Finance are a leading player in the consumer finance business, and fully owned by Santander, one of the largest financial groups in the world.

Your licence agreement gives you full details of how to make a private sale.

 Yes. If you do intend to sell, please do let us know first to allow us to make you an offer. If we can’t agree on a price, you can sell privately on the open market. Your licence agreement gives you full details on how to make a private sale and we’re here to support you with that transition.

 We offer some of the most generous tenure terms in the industry.

Our holiday home licences range from a minimum of 20 years up to 100 years, giving you long-term peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy your holiday lifestyle for decades to come.
