Are caravans or lodges a good financial investment?
Our advice is to treat your purchase as a leisure investment, the more you use it the more benefit you will have but in our opinion it is not a financial investment.
Do Caravans and Lodges depreciate and by how much?
Yes they depreciate. The depreciation will depend on a number of factors such as the current market and demand, condition of the asset, pitch availability. Think of buying a car, usually the first few years will see the greatest depreciation. Remember it is a personal investment in your leisure time and we do not advise it to be a financial investment.
What do I get when I buy a lodge or Caravan?
The buying process is thorough, from your first visit right through to purchase. All customers who buy from York House will be given a documentation Pack, including sales and Licence Agreements, rules etc.
Can I live in my caravan/lodge?
No, this is strictly prohibited. Holiday caravans and lodges are not intended as a permanent residence and nor does the Holiday Park have the appropriate licence.
All Owners MUST have a main address elsewhere.
Can I park by my holiday home?
All Abbots Green Lodges have parking on the plot.
All Caravans on York House Holiday Park have parking on or very near the plot.
Monk Park has only 20 plots with no hardstanding parking adjacent but ample parking nonetheless.
Is there Disabled access to caravans and public areas?
The public areas have level entrances or graded entrances suitable for walkers and wheelchairs. Guide dogs are welcome in the reception and coffee shop area and we also have some pet friendly caravans and lodges for hire. Owners are able to have a ramp fitted to allow for wheelchair access.
