Is owning a static caravan a good lifestyle investment?
So, you’re thinking of buying a static caravan? That’s great, you’ve already taken the first step on the road to becoming an owner.
Caravans may be a depreciating asset when it comes to finances, but the experiences they unlock are priceless. Here at Haven, we’re proud to provide a range of top-quality caravans that give our owners the perfect setting to make memories that last a lifetime. By purchasing a caravan at one of our holiday parks dotted up and down the UK, you’ll be making an incredible lifestyle investment. Let’s explain why.
A fantastic lifestyle investment
Imagine enjoying a morning coffee from your own kitchen while listening to the waves lap against the shore or cosying up on the sofa while it rains knowing the beach can wait for another day. This dream can be a reality if you purchase a caravan and secure a spot at any one of our 39 parks based in stunning locations up and down the beautiful British coastline.
As well as endless days at the seaside, you can dip into:
Lively entertainment
Exciting activities
Stylish eateries
Swimming pools on-park
You'll have two Owner Cards and 10 Friends and Family Cards included as part of your new home-from-home, meaning you can share the fun with your loved ones and enjoy discounts on on-park purchases including food, drink and activities. Without question, this makes it a fantastic lifestyle investment.
Say goodbye to holiday hassles
With the hassle that comes with travelling abroad (especially with a young family!) owning a static caravan is becoming increasingly popular with an ever-diversifying spectrum of people. But this isn’t a surprise. Who wouldn’t want the ability to go away at the drop of a hat? As a static caravan owner, you’ll find that all the troublesome parts of going away are suddenly history.
No more scrolling through hotel price comparison sites, cancelled flight anxiety and rip-off currency exchanges. Instead, you can hop into the car and soon be at your holiday home enjoying the simple pleasures such as a home-cooked meal and playing board games with loved ones. What’s more, our holiday parks are dog friendly too, so you don’t have to worry about abandoning your canine pal at home!
Making the most of your new lifestyle
A great way of seeing some monetary returns on your static caravan is to let it out to holidaymakers. At Haven, our letting service allows you to easily rent out your holiday home, in full confidence that our trustworthy team will organise the bookings and ensure your holiday home is cleaned and looked after.
If you buy a holiday home and choose to sign up with Let2offset, the income you earn through Let2offset can cover your site fee costs, meaning as long as you let your holiday home with us for a set number of weeks, you can relax knowing site fees costs are taken care of until 2031. This is available on selected parks and holiday homes please see the terms for details.
Alternatively, you can choose between our FIXED service that will guarantee income for every date that we agree to let your holiday home for you, and our FLEXI letting service that that works like private letting and if we have the demand, you'll earn a proportion of the letting value too, with some great opportunities for earnings during peak holiday periods.
You can also choose to let out your holiday home privately should you prefer the freedom that this affords you. Whichever route you go down, having this option of income from rent to offset other caravan costs is certainly one of the main factors that makes a static caravan ownership so great.
If you have questions about buying a holiday home, please don't hesitate to contact us. Call us, chat to us online or book a park visit, we'd love to hear from you.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2031
Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.
‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.
“Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed or equivalent or superior grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion. It is available across 40% of eligible Parks and applies when letting a new Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home (or equivalent or superior grade for 15 weeks.
An example of how “Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset until 2031” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of an Atlas Sahara 3 Bed holiday home at Primrose Valley with a monthly site fee of £585.00 (includes purchasing discount of £45) and monthly letting income of £803.67. The monthly difference equates to £218.67, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2024 figures.
Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Atlas Sahara 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading.
