Whether you’ve decided to sell your static caravan because you want to upgrade to a newer model or you’ve decided you want to holiday a different way, UK Caravans Direct are here to help. Keep reading to discover our expert advice on selling your static caravan…
Prepare your caravan
When it comes to selling your static caravan, it needs to be in the best possible condition to attract buyers and achieve the highest price. Before taking pictures to advertise your caravan, conduct a thorough deep clean and remove any personal items to showcase your caravan as a blank canvas to potential buyers.
Make a list
Decide on everything you’ll be including in the sale of your caravan as they will add to the value. If you’re planning on giving up the static caravan life for good, this is a great way to get rid of any additional items you have acquired whilst caravanning that you no longer need.
Decide on your price
When pricing up your caravan, you need to be realistic to avoid disappointment. Take into consideration the age, location, condition and also the fact that static caravans depreciate in value. When you purchased your caravan, you made a lifestyle investment, rather than a financial one, meaning you are unlikely to see any return on your investment. You can read more about how static caravans lose their value in our latest blog post here.
It is advisable to decide on the minimum and maximum price you would like to receive to streamline the negotiation process. If you’re unsure about the value of your static caravan, call our team on 0843 886 9885 for a FREE valuation.
Choose how you want to sell
To the park
If you want to sell your static caravan quickly, but for the lowest price, you might consider selling to your park owner. Whilst you will benefit from not having to source a buyer or organise transport, park owners will offer you the lowest price possible to maximise their profits.
To a private buyer
If you have the time to sell your caravan privately, you’re likely to receive a good price, but there’s no telling how long it will take. You will need to be patient during this process as you will be responsible for showing your caravan to potential buyers. When selling privately, you also need to consider the additional cost of advertising, disconnecting, transporting and potentially storing your static caravan.
