Holiday Home Buyers Guide

For those considering buying a static caravan, it's hugely important to think about where you’d like to go on holiday. Many prospective buyers opt to buy a holiday home within a two to three-hour travel radius from their home. Garreg Goch Holiday Park offers a spectacular location in North Wales with picturesque mountain views, making it the perfect holiday destination for those seeking a year-round relaxing escape.

Garreg Goch remains open throughout the year, providing year-round holidays in North Wales. It's important to note that while our parks are open throughout the year, they are not intended for permanent residency. When selecting a caravan, carefully consider your preferred on-site location, whether it's a sea view, proximity to facilities, or a secluded spot.

All our parks are dog-friendly and offer dedicated dog-facilities, including dog showers. Each of our family-friendly holiday parks in the Coastdale Parks group has unique facilities. For example, Garreg Goch is a favourite amongst nature enthusiasts with its stunning mountain views. We take pride in providing personalised service across all our parks, with on-site teams readily available to assist you.

When you invest in a holiday home at our dog-friendly holiday park in North Wales, you're assured of high-quality property in a superior park. This recognition is reflected through our membership in respected associations such as the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BHHPA) and Visit Wales.

Do Your Research

Before purchasing a static caravan, we recommend that you take time to think about which benefits you seek from holiday home ownership. Clearly define your budget, financing plans, and preferred purchase timeline. This groundwork will guide your decision-making effectively.

Fees and Running Costs

It's essential to understand that there are ongoing costs of owning a static caravan. These costs include the pitch fee, an annual payment to the park owner, which covers maintaining your holiday home's site and securing your chosen location. In addition to pitch fees, there will be other regular expenses like gas, electricity, insurance, and ongoing maintenance costs. While some parks may have lower fees, Garreg Goch and our Coastdale parks provide a five-star experience, justifying the fees through exceptional service and unique locations.

For those concerned about the costs of purchasing and owning a static caravan, subletting the holiday home can help offset some running expenses.

Holiday Home Type

With so many holiday homes available on the market, it is important to have a rough idea of the type of holiday home that best aligns with your preferences and needs. When making enquiries via our enquiry forms, please clearly state your budget and specific preferences regarding bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen size, furniture type, and more. While creating a wishlist, be open to the possibility that not everything may be readily available, especially with bespoke caravans that potentially may have lengthy lead times.

The Licence Agreement

Upon purchasing your holiday home, Garreg Goch will grant you a Licence Agreement. The licence agreement is a legal document detailing the rights and responsibilities of both the park owner and the purchaser. We advise all potential holiday homeowners to seek legal or financial advice before entering into this agreement. Coastdale offers license terms of 15 years for used Holiday Homes, 20 years for new holiday homes, and 35 years for Holiday Lodges.

The Process of Purchase

Make sure that you review and fully understand the purchase contract thoroughly before signing. For more information about warranties, especially for the chassis and appliances in the caravan, please contact the team at Garreg Goch directly.

Paying the Deposit and Assuming Ownership

Upon choosing your holiday home, pay the required deposit, typically at least 20% of the final purchase price. After paying the full balance, and once you receive the keys, you officially become the owner. Ensure all your requests and legal obligations, such as gas and electrical appliance testing, have been addressed before celebrating your new holiday home
