Things to consider before buying in Norfolk

Seasonal access and usage rules

Holiday home access depends on the park’s licence and operating season. Some parks are open for part of the year, while others are open 12 months a year. Rules vary by location, so always check licence details before purchasing.

Ongoing ownership costs

Owners typically pay an annual site fee covering park upkeep and shared facilities, plus utilities such as gas, electricity, and water. Additional costs may include insurance and non-domestic rates.

A 12-month warranty is commonly included, helping cover unexpected issues during your first year.

New vs preloved considerations

One of the key decisions when purchasing a holiday home is whether to choose a new or pre-loved model.

New holiday homes typically appeal to buyers who value modern layouts, up-to-date features, and the reassurance of a manufacturer’s warranty. Pre-loved homes, by contrast, offer a more accessible entry point, with slower depreciation and the benefit of a proven, well-established model.

The right choice depends on how you plan to use your holiday home, your budget, and what matters most to you over the long term.
