Buying a static caravan in a holiday park is meant to be an exciting opportunity to invest in a place where you and your family can get away from it all, relax and spend time with loved ones. However, for some caravan owners, what begins as a dream purchase can quickly become a stressful and expensive experience. If you feel like you’ve been mis-sold a caravan, whether you were misled about the conditions of ownership or unfairly treated by a holiday park operator, then you are not alone. These issues are far more common than people realise, and the good news is that legal help is available.

Common Issues in Holiday Park Caravan Purchases
Many consumers are drawn to the idea of owning a static caravan or lodge as a retreat for family holidays or a long-term investment. Unfortunately, the reality does not always match the promises made during the sales process. Common issues include:
- Misrepresentation about site fees, resale values, or the duration of ownership
- Unfair contract terms, including excessive annual increases in pitch fees
- High-pressure or misleading sales tactics
- Unexpected restrictions on usage or subletting
- False assurances about investment value or long-term return
If any of these apply to your situation, you may have grounds for a legal claim.
Do You Have Grounds for a Claim?
In recent years, we’ve seen a growing number of clients come to us after realising that their caravan purchase wasn’t as straightforward as it first seemed. For many, it’s only after they’ve signed contracts, moved in, or tried to sell or sublet their caravan that the problems begin to surface.
Here are just a few examples of the types of cases that we have helped with:
- Instances where buyers were given verbal promises that were never followed through in writing.
- Clients found themselves tied into unfair pitch agreements.
- Cases where they faced sudden increases in fees that they weren’t told about.
- Owners were asked to vacate their pitch or remove their caravan with little to no warning, despite being told they had long-term rights.
- Circumstances where clients have been pressured into upgrading unnecessarily, or discovered that their caravan depreciated far more quickly than they were led to believe.
Situations such as these can be extremely stressful and leave caravan owners feeling trapped, often not knowing who to trust or where to turn. If your circumstances are similar to the examples mentioned, then you could have legal grounds to make a claim. Our team will assess whether you’ve been mis-sold a caravan or subjected to unfair contract terms and clearly explain your options to help guide you toward a resolution that protects your best interests.

Professional Legal Advice for Static Caravan Owners
Static caravan ownership is a unique legal area because, unlike buying a house or leasing a flat, purchasing a caravan in a holiday park often comes with limited consumer protections and complex contracts that can be hard to navigate without specialised support.
The agreement you signed with the park operator is likely full of small print, conditions, and clauses that aren’t always obvious at the time of purchase, especially if you haven’t owned a static caravan before. Unfortunately, once these problems start, it’s not always easy to know what the best path is to take or how to handle everything.
At Sarah Waddington Solicitors, we offer expert static caravan legal advice, guidance and support for owners dealing with a wide range of issues, including unclear or unfair licence agreements, hidden costs, or disputes over pitch fees and park rules.
If you’re unsure about the terms of your contract, worried about losing your pitch, or struggling to communicate with the park, we’re here to help. We’ll review your documents in detail, identify any breaches or legal concerns, and explain your rights in plain, easy-to-understand language so that you can make clear, informed decisions.
Whether you’re just looking for reassurance or are considering making a claim, we’ll make sure you’re fully informed before taking the next step.

How We Support You Through the Claims Process
When you contact us, the first thing we do is listen. We want to understand your experience, the nature of the caravan purchase, and the challenges you’re facing. We’ll then give you an honest assessment of your situation, including whether we believe you have grounds for a legal claim and what the next steps might look like.
If you decide to proceed, we’ll guide you through each stage of the process from reviewing your purchase agreement and gathering evidence of misrepresentation to negotiating with the park on your behalf. In more serious cases, we can also pursue compensation or formal dispute resolution through the proper legal channels in line with your wishes.
Throughout everything, we aim to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We know how personal these situations can be, and we’ll always keep you updated and informed in a way that’s clear, honest, and reassuring.
In many cases, legal intervention leads to a positive outcome without ever having to go to court. Often, simply involving a solicitor is enough to prompt the park to negotiate, refund costs, or revise unfair terms, which is why it’s so important to seek legal help.
