Part Exchange Your Static Caravan
Thinking of upgrading your static caravan? We make part exchange simple — we buy your current caravan for cash, giving you the funds to put towards your next one. No waiting, no park commission, no hassle.
What Does Part Exchange Mean for a Static Caravan?
When you part exchange a static caravan, you use the value of your existing caravan to offset the cost of a new one. Traditionally, this is done through the holiday park — but parks are under no obligation to offer a fair price, and their part exchange deals often come with significant commission deductions that reduce what you receive.
At The Caravan Swap Shop, we offer a straightforward alternative. We buy your static caravan directly and pay you in cash — typically within 7 to 14 days. You then have the freedom to use that money however you choose, whether that’s part-funding a new caravan, upgrading through a dealer, or simply taking the cash.
With over 45 years of holiday park experience, we understand the market inside out. That means we make fair, well-informed offers — not park-driven valuations designed to benefit the site.
Why Part Exchange Through The Caravan Swap Shop?
1. You Keep the Full Value
Holiday parks typically charge commission of 10–20% when you sell or part exchange through them. With us, there are no commissions, no hidden fees, and no deductions on completion. The price we agree is the price you receive.
2. Any Age, Any Make, Any Condition
We buy all static caravans regardless of age, make, or condition. Whether your caravan is a modern Atlas, a Willerby, a Swift, a Pemberton, or an older model that needs some work — we’re interested. You don’t need to spend money refurbishing it before we’ll make an offer.
3. Free Valuation Within 24 Hours
Submit your caravan details and we’ll come back to you with a free, no-obligation valuation within 24 hours. There’s no pressure to accept — but if you do, we move quickly.
4. UK-Wide Collection, Completely Free
We collect from anywhere in the UK, at no cost to you. You don’t need to arrange transport, delivery, or de-siting — we handle everything from start to finish.
5. Cash Paid Direct to Your Bank
Once we agree a price, payment goes directly to your bank account. Most sales complete within 7–14 days of accepting our offer.
How Our Part Exchange Process Works
Step 1: Submit Your Caravan Details
Use our free valuation form to tell us about your static caravan — make, model, year, condition, and location. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your initial valuation will be.
Step 2: Receive Your Valuation
We’ll review your details and come back to you within 24 hours with a free, no-obligation cash offer. Our offer is based on current market conditions, not a park’s resale interests.
Step 3: Accept and Get Paid
If you’re happy with the offer, we arrange collection at a time that suits you — free of charge, anywhere in the UK. Payment is made directly to your bank account, giving you the funds to put towards your upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions About Part Exchanging a Static Caravan
Can I part exchange my static caravan if it’s still on the park?
Yes. In most cases we can buy your caravan while it’s still sited on the park. We’ll liaise with the park regarding de-siting and removal once the sale is agreed — you don’t need to manage that process.
Do I need to tell the park I’m selling to you?
You don’t need the park’s permission to sell your static caravan privately — the caravan is your asset. However, you may need to inform the park about the planned removal in line with your pitch licence agreement. We can advise on this once we have your details.
Will you buy my caravan if it’s older or in poor condition?
Yes. We buy static caravans of all ages and in all conditions, including those that are no longer park-standard. Get in touch and we’ll assess it on its merits.
How quickly can I get a part exchange valuation?
We aim to respond within 24 hours of receiving your details via our valuation form. For urgent situations, you can also call us directly on 07770 603800.
Is there a fee for the valuation?
No. Our valuation service is completely free and carries no obligation. If you don’t like our offer, you’re under no pressure to accept it.
Can I use the sale proceeds to buy a new static caravan?
Absolutely. Many of our customers use the proceeds from their sale to contribute towards a new caravan, either through a park, a dealer, or a private seller. Because we pay in cash direct to your bank, you’re in full control of how you use the funds.
