Residential Caravan Parks?

Hello, you Cornish lot, hope you're all well?

I'm thinking of moving out of Wales, buying a static caranvan and living in it somewhere in Cornwall, does anyone know of any idillic little spots and indeed anywhere at all that does stay open all year, or at minimum 11mths of it?

Cheers!

from memory, I don't think you are allowed to live in a static caravan all year round [my parents used to whinge about some 10 month rule or summat?] Summat to do with avoiding PollTax/permanent addresses etc etc

they lived in Morecambe and used to go away for 8 weeks a year in one stretch as it was miles cheaper than paying polltax for 12 months


dunno if that helps, probably not like, but hey, at least I tried huh


Hayle in Cornwall is too quiet - don't go there!

there's a static caraven place near Portsihead. I'm not sure of the name (charlcombe? ) but it's not cornwall and is pretty expensive anyway

i don't know of any others as most don't allow all year or even ii month residence. theres' a 10 month one outside sidmouth. i could probably dig up the name but again it's expensive and not in cornwall

My mum used to live in once near st ives. They're round the back of a B&b. Cheap, but a little cold in the winter. somewhere around here, which is near hayle!

Doesn't Rowan live in a caravan? Bodmin, I think. Maybe you could PM her. She might not want you as a neighbour though!

Err. my mate in Somerset was telling us about this.. can't you buy one for about £20k?

I've got a mate in York. I think.Well. I did.

Bude and Saltash are the best places to go.

Actuarsey...£60K should get you an idyll and static..I paying £40/week for mine...but I have paid £70...and so on and so on



Btw everyone is xene_phobic, anti_omo_sexual and raddischist...er...and mysogynistiwozzit....and...er....we all think tourists keep us alive...and erm the buses are poop but Exeters' nice...have I forgotten anything?...ough yeah Newlyn is the best place to buy smack and Ivor Doowney's taste of cats vom.

'aaaaaaaaaav it!

I would!

Sort of, it's a park home which is a bit better than a caravan

Depends how much you want to pay, but there's loads of residential sites in the West Country.
Residential means you live there permanently, it's only the holiday ones that don't allow 12 months residency, and they're usually cheaper.

To get an idea of what's around have a look at Rightmove Thats where I found mine.

A friend of mine wants to rent one down here, where's the best place to look for rentals?

I'd be careful with residential sites and get feedback from someone who lives there already. The council have a habit of putting all the drug addicts in one place.

Yeah, I'm after a static caravan and a residential site that will have me all year round and I've only got about 10k maximum. What do you reckon my chances are?

Very good advice, there is one near Penzance that might as well have a police station built on it.

That's the one I was thinking of

Jesus! Who'd wanna live there!

It's not Cornwall but there a LOT of sites around Brean Down in Somerset that might be of interest.

It's got a lovely view of the Bristol channel and not of Portishead so it's Ok

It's easy to get a caravan for that price but they probably wouldn't be on a site - you'd have to find somewhere yourself.

To be honest I never came across anything for that price, but I was looking at park homes, not caravans. I'm sure caravans are a bit cheaper, but I don't know of any sites for them.

But that's not to say there aren't any - I've only been here 9 months so hopefully others might know more.

Good luck!

Thanks, for that, just one more question, can I get a mortgage for a caravan or park home?

Not from a bank or building society, but there are companies that do it. I'll try and find their details over the weekend

If you would that would be great. Cheers.

Does anyone out there know if their are any residential caravan Parks in the UK where you are allowed to take your own static caravan?

Am thinking of buying one but all residential sites I have been to see want you to buy theirs, and they charge unbelievable prices for the quality.

Holiday parks can now have 12 month occupancy (Good Practice Guide On Planning for Tourism 2006, which replaced PPG21 that restricted occupancy except in exceptional cases). However, the caravan (chalet/cabin) can only be occupied if it is not a person's sole or main residence. So you can 'holiday' year after year if you have somewhere else to live, but you can't live there if you are a local person in need of affordable housing.

you couldn't make it up!

need info on sites

my husband is disabled and turns 60 this year and i have a mobile hair and beauty business and we would like to relocate to Cornwall as we have been going there 2-3 times a year for 17 years and just love the place but we would like to live in a caravan, now i know someone posted that they had a link to a residential site or something in Cornwall and would like any help anyone can give in this matter please.

Make sure you find a site that is licenced for all year around occupancy, and one that is not run by a cowboy. (There are plenty of those running caravan sites all over Britain.)
The other problem anywhere in Britain is very high ground rents, £4000 a year plus is not uncommon.
