Buying your own Holiday Home on the Isle of Wight

Owning your own holiday home gives you the freedom of being able to jump into your car and drive off to your holiday destination at a whim, at almost any time of the year including the summer season. You don't need to book, you can hire it out to friends, and you have the familiarity of knowing that you'll be staying at your own caravan in the same location.

Additionally, you could choose to let your holiday home out at those times when you know you'll not be using it. In this way you can generate a valuable income and let others pay for your own well-deserved holiday.

Probably the best option for holiday home ownership is Park Resorts. As well as managing 37 award-winning parks, including four on the Isle of Wight, the company has a wealth of experience through its Owners Elite Teams who will speak to you about your needs and requirements and consider the best option to suit your individual circumstances. Park Resorts hosts exclusive events and parties for owners, providing a great environment in which to meet new friends and socialise, as well as providing free ownership to all the facilities available at the parks.

Owners benefit from an extended season, allowing them to use the parks exclusively before the holidaymaker season begins and also for some time after it has finished.

Another way in which owners can make money is through the Owners Referral Programme. Refer a friend into holiday home ownership and you will receive a credit worth £500. Refer three and you will receive £2250 - and there's no upper limit!

Needless ot say there are costs involved. As well as the initial purchase of the holiday home, owners are required to pay Pitch Fees, insurance, rates, electricity and gas. Park Resorts frequently offer a discount on Pitch Fees as an incentive, at least over the first year - ask them before you make your decision to buy.

They have also been known to offer a free night's stay if you visit a park with a view to discuss buying, or to refund the cost of your holiday if you purchase a holiday home during your stay. Again, ask them what's on offer.

The last thing that needs to be stressed is that owning a holiday home can be surprisingly affordable. While a new top model caravan might cost you in excess of £50,000, a used model can be bought for £7,000 - sometimes even less.

Whether you are ready to purchase your own holiday home or whether you remain undecided, Isle of Wight Review would urge you to contact Park Resorts and discuss your options with them. In our experience the Owners Elite teams are without exception professional, expert, open, honest and not in any pushy in that annoying way that most sales people tend to be these days.
