Static Caravan Selling

Rachael1987

Can anyone help me. I have posted on his post as I have spent an hour trying to figure out how to start a new thread to no avail.

We are in the process of selling our static caravan, the caravan site offered us 2000 which we refused. We told them we were planning to sell private and they were fine with this. We did want 4000 for the caravan however with the yearly site fees coming up we just wanted rid before the end of December so we agreed a sale with friends of 2800. We notified the site of this and they spoke to the buyer and said they would send the documentation out for her to sign. They have been dragging their feet and after been chased numerous times by the New buyer and myself I received this letter this morning.

Can this be enforced ? Our friends were so looking forward to having the caravan and are really upset. They have said they can stretch to 4000 if necessary but would like to know where we stand.

Surely they can’t make us sell to them and I have a right to say we are no longer selling? In worst case scenario or that the intended price has gone up? I have read our contract and there is nothing else listed in relation to the clause to say we have to agree or that the intended sale price can not change

Thank you in anticipation.

Appear it won’t let me up load photo so this is what the letter says

Click on that. Then look in the top left corner you will see a button that says "New Thread".

Well thats what caravan/lodge/whatever ownership is all about. Its an illusion. Its not about the structure, its about what year on year monies the landowner can milk from you.

If they state you have to sell to them and are willing to match any offer you have had, then tell them you have been offered a higher price than previously eg £8,000 then see what they say.
