Buying our first static caravan

[DSLiverpool]

Been to Anglesey today looking at caravans and parks, I’ve never “vanned but my mrs is keen and we have 9 year old twins who we think would love it. My biz partner and his family are keen and have experience.

Looking at £40k ish for a 3 bed can, add £3k for decking, add site fees and power about £3.5k, Van has to be new for the parks we like.

I’m worried that once we’re invested we can’t easily get out and what if we don’t use it enough!

We’re buying this through our ltd company after our accountant mentioned lots of their clients had them - that’s what got me thinking.

Can anyone give the benefit of their experience please.

We can’t (and wouldn’t) rent it out but may let other vetted family members use it.

My brother-in-law has a static on Anglesey, which site are you looking at?

Treardur bay - The Lea is full but there are 2 next door - does he like it?

The Darwin sites, for example, are excellent, top spec inside - as good or better than most holiday cottages, really.

I’d noticed them and definitely will check them out, I guess ideally I’d wasn’t a north wales version of The Warren in Abersoch if it exists.

Chaps in my case the company is paying and in overall terms it’s within budget. Personal cash isn’t a factor here just the van, site and use,

We’re looking again once priced drop, I sold the LTD company we were going to use and the new one isn’t capable of buying one yet.
Looking at cardigan Bay Area.
