Welcome to frequently asked questions
Q. I have never purchased a holiday home before where do I start?
Before buying a holiday home you need to choose an area and then a holiday park. Westfield Caravans deal on lots of great parks our parkfinder page may help in your search.
The main selection criteria for caravan parks are facilities and annual charges. Most importantly is the park's location. Are you looking for a "get away from it all" location on a quiet site? We recommend that its location is not too far away from home, 1 or 2 hours away maximum, as the thought of a long drive may put you off from using it. If cost is your main consideration you need to look at annual charges such as ground rent, rates and services charges eg. gas, water and electricity. What is included and what isn't.
Q: Can I live in my Holiday Home ?
A: In general no. Most homes sold by Westfield Caravans are designed for holiday use only. Most parks in our area only have permission for occupation for part of the year and you must have another UK address as your permanent residence.
Q: What is included in the Holiday Home and what extra charges will there be?
A: Prices on this website include VAT. You will need to budget an additional amount for delivery, siting and connection. This cost is dependent of park and model.
Q: Can I use my Holiday Home in the winter?
A: Only if the park is open during the winter months. But do ask about the level of insulation in the holiday home you intend to buy. Not all units are intended for occupation in severe weather conditions. If a caravan holiday home is used in cold months you should expect a higher level of condensation, both visible and unseen. Where central heating is provided, its primary purpose is to provide background heating in these cooler periods.
Q: How do I drain my home down for the winter ?
A: Download our drain down guide on our customer services page.
Q: I want to move my home can you help with this?
A: Westfield Caravans have been using Hi line transport for many years they provide all the help and assistance for moving your home. Find their web page here.
