Static Caravans & Holiday Parks
I would like to warn all consumers that if there is one thing you should avoid doing in life then it is buying a static caravan. WHATEVER YOU DO _ DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH A HOLIDAY PARK AND DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO THINKING IT IS A CHEAP ACCOMMODATION SOLUTION.
I have lost £20,000 in 13 months and this is the norm for buyers of new vans - they will sell you a front loaded credit agreement for a product that depletes in value more than any other product on this earth. I have incurred £9,000 interest on a loan of £24,000 in a year and I own a caravan whose trade value is now only £9,000.
Further more, my partner bought a second hand van that he now can't sell because the park where we live has changed it's sale policy.
He approached the park about a month ago because we have decided to leave this god forsaken place and they initially said there would be no problem selling his van for him. Now they have done a complete u-turn and told him that they can no longer sell vans that are over ten years old. This is strange as he bought the van off the park last year and it was 13 years old at the time. This has resulted in him having a van that he cannot sell because of it's age - despite the fact that it is in good condition. Additionally, all the while he remains liable for site fees of £370.00 a month. Apparently this policy change took place at the beginning of June and it does not apply to all the parks owned by the company. IS THIS LEGAL?
Can someone please advise we have both lost so much money that neither of us can afford to lose.
