* | How much does a typical holiday home cost?
|
| | A new home can cost anywhere between £20,000 and £100,000+ depending on factors like its location, size, fixtures and fittings and whether it’s a caravan or a deluxe pine lodge, as well as siting and connection fees. Pre-owned homes can be purchased from as little as £12,000 including siting and connection fees. |
*
| Is finance easy to arrange? |
| | Many parks that specialise in sales have financing facilities and insurance information. Dedicated holiday home dealers should have finance departments to advise. |
*
| What are the other costs involved? |
| | There is an annual fee payable to the park, which includes the up-keep of the site. Running costs may be payable for heat, light and any entertainment the park provides. All this will probably add up to at least £1,000 per annum - likely more. Also, insurance for the home and contents with a specialist company is essential. As mentioned before, your chosen park can help with this. |
*
| Can I sub-let my holiday home? |
| | The parks usually encourage sub-letting but check first if this is your intention as not all parks will allow it. |
*
| Can I bring my dog? |
| | Most parks do not have a problem with pets. However, before committing yourself to anything be sure to thoroughly check their terms and conditions of ownership.

| What to I do next? |
| | Visit your chosen park’s website or call them and mention FreedomPark Holidays and they will be happy to discuss availability. Then set aside a weekend to visit them - for the opportunity to discuss your preferences and budget.

| Are there restrictions on the amount of time I can live in my holiday home per year? |
| | Generally a site licence and insurance does not allow full time residential use. Parks are usually open for between nine and eleven months a year - look at your parks site licence for their terms and conditions.
