🚨 Is Your Holiday Park Next on the Watchlist?

At the National Static Caravan Owners Union (NSCOU), we're building the UK's largest picture of what's really happening on holiday parks.

Every park is different, and while some owners have a fantastic experience, others are facing issues such as:

📈 Rising pitch fees

💷 Financial losses when selling their holiday home

📜 Unfair or constantly changing park rules

📞 Poor communication from park management

⚠️ Promises made during the sales process that haven't been honoured

The more we know, the stronger our voice becomes.

That's why we're asking one simple question...

📍 Which holiday park do you own at?

By telling us where you own, you help us identify trends, spot recurring problems, and focus our efforts where holiday home owners need us most. It also means we can send you updates, guidance and information that are relevant to your specific park.

If you'd like to tell us about any concerns you're experiencing, your information will be treated in the strictest confidence. Every response helps us build evidence, support owners more effectively, and strengthen our campaign for greater transparency, fairness and legal protection across the holiday park industry.

📧 Email us: [email protected]

Please include the name of your holiday park and any concerns you'd like to share.

💪 Together, we're building a stronger voice for every holiday home owner in the UK.

⚠️ Trapped by Resale Restrictions? Know Your Rights

Many holiday park owners are shocked to discover that their agreement may restrict them from selling their caravan or lodge privately. Instead, they may be required to offer it back to the park first.

The reality can be devastating. Some owners are offered only a small fraction of what they originally paid, regardless of the unit's market value. Faced with that choice, many feel they have no option but to accept the offer or continue paying ever-increasing running costs.

The result? Owners often feel trapped, misled, and let down.

Many blame themselves for not reading the contract closely, but in our experience, the real issue is often how the sale was presented. Some owners tell us they were led to believe their holiday home would hold its value or even increase in value like a traditional property. Others say important information about resale restrictions was never properly explained.

At the National Static Caravan Owners Union (NSCOU), we regularly assist members whose agreements may contain unfair terms or where key information was omitted during the sales process. Every case is different, but if you believe you were misled or have been offered a fraction of what you paid for your holiday home, it's worth seeking independent advice.

You don't have to accept a financial loss without understanding your rights.

If this sounds familiar, get in touch with us today.

⚠️ DON'T BE FOOLED BY A 12-MONTH LICENCE ⚠️

One of the biggest misunderstandings in the holiday park industry is the phrase "12-month licence."

Many owners assume it means they can live in their holiday home all year round.

Unfortunately, that's often not the case.
A 12-month site licence usually means the park is open for 12 months of the year. It does not automatically give you the legal right to use your holiday home as your main or permanent residence.

Many holiday parks still have holiday-use planning restrictions, meaning owners are expected to have a permanent residential address elsewhere, even if they can visit their holiday home throughout the year.
Before buying, or if you're unsure, always check:

✅ The park's site licence
✅ The planning permission and occupancy conditions
✅ Your pitch agreement
✅ The park rules
✅ Whether you are required to maintain a separate main residence

If you were led to believe that a 12-month licence meant you could live there permanently, or what you were told doesn't match the legal position, you may have grounds to question what you were sold.

The National Static Caravan Owners Union (NSCOU) is helping members understand their rights and challenge misleading information where appropriate.

Have you been told your holiday home could be lived in all year round because the park has a 12-month licence?
