Sell Your Static Caravan in Cumbria

Every Part of Cumbria We Buy Static Caravans In

Cumbria is not one caravan market, it is several. A lakeside park at Bowness and a Solway coast park at Silloth attract different buyers, carry very different pitch fees and sell on completely different timescales. Below is where we buy, and what is worth knowing about each area before you agree a price with anyone.

Windermere and Bowness

The busiest static caravan corridor in the county. We buy from the lakeside and hillside parks around Bowness, Troutbeck Bridge and the A591, and we deal with park management directly so you do not have to.

Ambleside and Grasmere

Small, tightly managed parks at the head of the lake. Pitch fees here are among the highest in Cumbria, which is why owners often want a quick, clean exit rather than a drawn-out private sale.

Coniston and Hawkshead

Quieter parks on the western side of the central Lakes. Access can be narrow, so we survey the route before collection day and bring the right transport.

Ullswater and Glenridding

Eastern Lakes parks with a strong second-hand market. We buy lodges and twin units here as readily as standard statics.

Keswick and Derwentwater

Northern Lakes parks, many with a short open season. If your park has told you the caravan is coming up to an age limit, talk to us before you accept a part-exchange offer on site.

Penrith and the Eden Valley

Inland parks with easy A66 and M6 access, which keeps collection straightforward and quick to schedule.

Carlisle and the Solway Coast

A large cluster of coastal parks running west from Carlisle. Salt-air weathering is common here and does not stop us buying - we buy any condition.

Silloth, Allonby and the Solway Firth

One of the highest concentrations of static caravans in Cumbria. We are regular buyers along this stretch and can usually collect within days of agreeing a price.

Whitehaven, Workington and Maryport

West coast parks where owners often sell after a change in circumstances. We buy caravans with outstanding finance and settle the agreement as part of the deal.

Barrow-in-Furness and Walney Island

Furness peninsula parks. Long single-access roads mean collection needs planning, and we handle that end to end at no cost to you.

Grange-over-Sands and Cartmel

Morecambe Bay parks on the southern edge of the county, an easy run for our transport from the M6.

Kendal and the Lyth Valley

Gateway parks just outside the National Park boundary, popular with owners who want Lakes access without Lakes pitch fees.

Ravenglass and the western fells

Remote western parks. Distance is never a reason for us to reduce an offer - collection is free anywhere in the UK.

What Selling to Us Actually Involves

There are four steps and none of them require you to travel to your caravan.

1. You tell us what you have. Make, model, year, park and rough condition. Photographs help but are not essential.
2. We value it within 24 hours. Free, no obligation, and a real figure rather than a range designed to get you on the phone.
3. We agree the price and pay a deposit. The deposit goes out as soon as the deal is agreed, and the balance is paid before we collect.
4. We collect, free, and deal with the park. Transport, paperwork and the conversation with park management are all ours to handle.

If a park settlement or an outstanding finance agreement has to be cleared first, that is the one case where the balance follows afterwards, by BACS within 7 to 14 days. We will tell you which applies to you before you commit to anything.

Who You Are Dealing With

The Caravan Swap Shop is run by Sean Brenkley and Chris Rose, who between them have around 45 years working inside the UK holiday park industry. That matters in Cumbria in particular, because a large share of caravans here are sold under time pressure - an age-off policy, a site fee renewal date, or a park that wants a pitch cleared. Knowing how parks actually operate is the difference between a sale that completes and one that stalls.

We are associate members of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association, and we hold a 5.0 star rating from 33 Google reviews. We take no commission from you and charge no fees of any kind.

More Cumbria Selling Questions, Answered

How and when do I get paid?

You receive an initial deposit as soon as the deal is agreed, and the balance is paid before we collect. Where a park settlement or outstanding finance has to clear first, the funds follow by BACS within 7 to 14 days.

Does it cost me anything to have the caravan collected from Cumbria?

No. Collection is free anywhere in the UK, including the more remote west Cumbrian and Furness parks. There is no park commission and no hidden fees.

My park has offered to take the caravan in part exchange. Should I take it?

Get a second figure before you decide. A park part-exchange is valued against the price of the caravan you are buying from them, which is not the same as what your caravan is worth on the open market. Our valuation is free, takes 24 hours and carries no obligation.

Can you buy a caravan that still has finance on it?

Yes. We buy caravans with outstanding finance regularly and settle the agreement directly as part of the transaction.

How quickly can you collect from a Cumbria park?

Once the price is agreed and the paperwork is done, collection is usually arranged within days. If your park has set an urgent removal deadline, tell us and we will work to it.
