Everything You Need to Know About Selling Your Static Caravan
If you’re thinking of selling your static caravan, you probably have questions. We’ve answered the most common ones below. If you don’t see your question here, contact us — we’re always happy to help.
About Our Service
How do I sell my static caravan with The Caravan Swap Shop?
It couldn’t be simpler. Get in touch with us by phone, email, or our online form and give us a few details about your caravan: the make, model, year, condition, and which holiday park it’s located at. We’ll provide a free, no-obligation valuation within 24 hours. If you’re happy with our offer, we take care of everything else: paperwork, park liaison, collection, and payment.
How long does it take to sell my static caravan?
We can move very quickly. Once you accept our offer, we typically complete the purchase within a few days. In urgent situations, we can sometimes arrange collection within 24–48 hours. The timeline can depend on your holiday park’s processes, but we always work to keep things moving as fast as possible.
Is there any obligation to sell once I request a valuation?
Absolutely not. Our valuation is completely free and comes with zero obligation. You can receive our offer, think it over, and decide in your own time. Many customers get a valuation and come back to us weeks or months later when they’re ready to sell — and that’s perfectly fine.
About Valuations
How much is my static caravan worth?
This depends on a number of factors: the make and model, year of manufacture, overall condition (including any damp, damage, or upgrades), the holiday park’s location and reputation, and the park’s own age rules. Because there’s no single “book price” for static caravans — unlike cars — our valuations are based on real-time market knowledge from our daily trading activity. Contact us for a free assessment.
Do you offer the best price?
We aim to offer a fair, competitive, and transparent price. We’re an active buyer trading daily, which means our prices reflect real market conditions. Some sellers choose to try the private market first — but private sales can take months, involve tyre-kickers, and still end up at a similar price after advertising costs. We offer certainty, speed, and zero hassle.
About What We Buy
Do you buy old static caravans?
Yes. We buy caravans of all ages, including those from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. Even older caravans often have value for export, refurbishment, or parts. Don’t assume your caravan is too old — contact us and let us assess it.
Do you buy caravans in poor condition?
Yes. We consider all conditions — including caravans with damp, water damage, fire damage, structural issues, or general wear and tear. We believe most caravans have some value, and we won’t turn you away just because your caravan isn’t in perfect shape.
Do you buy caravans with outstanding finance?
This depends on your specific situation. Please contact us and we will discuss your circumstances. In some cases, outstanding finance can be settled as part of the sale.
Do you buy from all areas of the UK?
Yes. We have a national reach and buy caravans from holiday parks across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Our transport network covers the entire UK.
About Collection & Payment
Is collection free?
Yes. Collection is completely free. We arrange and pay for all transport from your holiday park to our destination. There are no collection fees, admin charges, or hidden costs of any kind.
How is payment made?
Payment is made by bank transfer directly to your bank account on the day of collection. There are no delays, and the amount agreed is the amount you receive — no deductions.
About Holiday Parks
My park has told me my caravan is too old — what can I do?
This is a common situation as many parks tighten age limit policies. We regularly buy caravans in exactly this situation and are very experienced at working through the park’s process. Contact us and we will advise you on your options.
Do I need to tell my park I’m selling?
You should follow your park’s requirements, but we will handle the formal notification and removal process as part of our service. We liaise directly with the park to make the process smooth.
