What do you consider a reasonable annual site fee?

dingodollars

I’m weighing up whether owning a holiday home on a park actually makes sense long term, and the one thing I’m struggling to judge is site fees.

I’ve seen parks charging anywhere from around £2,000 a year up to £6,000+, sometimes with very similar facilities on paper.

I understand there are real costs involved — maintenance, grounds, security, facilities etc — but I’m curious where people draw the line between fair and taking the mick.

For those who already own:

• What do you pay annually?

• Do you feel it’s reasonable for what you get?

• Have your fees increased much since you bought?

Interested to hear real-world experiences rather than sales pitches.

Parents have owned a static on a site in the scottish borders for the last 14 years. It is a well known and well regarded site with good facilities. Site fees were £1250 when they first bought, and they are £2450 now, which we still consider fairly reasonable considering the prices some are charging in many areas.

Fees differ dependent on facilities available pools clubhouse etc so it iis up to you to decide what is reasonable.

A lot of people on here appear to have static caravans but overall I think they are a detiorating asset and only worthwhile if you ensure to really make use of them

Considering the stories you hear about rogue operators of these parks, I would research the company owning the park, and read the T's & C's very carefully before signing anything.

A quick Google and a read of HPAG will soon change your mind.
