Is buying a caravan a good investment?
Owning a caravan with Bourne Leisure is about providing a leisure lifestyle and is not viewed as an investment for the purpose of yielding an income.

Do I own the land?
No, you don't You are buying a caravan with the right to occupy a pitch of your choice for as long as you like, providing you pay the annual site fees and abide by the Park rules.

Can my friends visit me?
Yes - of course, and if you wish them to join you in using the club facilities, you can allocate them to one of the eight seasonal club passes each owner receives or extra passes can be purchased at the Owners Enquiry Centre.

Can I choose the location of my caravan?
Yes, you can have a choice of any location on the Park, subject to availability. There are, however, one or two areas which are more costly.

Is there an age limit?
No, as long as you adhere to the site rules and pay your rent, but there is an age limit to people who may hire the caravan. We operate family parks and groups of people of all the same sex, under 21 are not allowed.

When is the peak season?
From May through to the end of August, traditionally June is quieter

Do I have to change my caravan every five or ten years?
Not at all. As you are shown around the park, we will show you caravans of all ages and as long as you maintain the caravan in good condition, keep to the Park rules and pay your rent, you can keep it there indefinitely

How will you help and support me over the long term?
We do have a facility called Owners Exclusive which is controlled from the Owners Enquiry Centre. We can organise any repair to your caravan that may be required, answer all questions you might have and keep you informed of any events, activities, owner parties and developments

Can we sell our caravan ourselves?
Yes you can sell caravans on the Park, but there are requirements to comply with. These are detailed in the Private Sales Agreement which is printed on the back of your invoice. Also, you can pass the caravan over to a blood relative and if they pay you for the caravan we class this as a family transfer. Alternatively, it is also possible to sell caravans off-Park to a trader, although we wouldn't recommend this as the value off-Park is less than on the Park.

How much would I get for my caravan if I sold it after a year?
If you were seriously thinking of owning a caravan for just one year, we would advise you not to go ahead as caravans are just like cars - they do depreciate and the first year is the worst. After that, it really depends on how well you look after your caravan and the state of the economy.

Are you interested in what I want?
Of course we are. It is really important we give you all the information on expenses and how you might be able to offset your costs. We give you every opportunity to look around the Park and into as many caravans as you like, so that we can find the right package for you and your family. Remember, our relationship with you is for the long term.

Are your parks safe enough for our children?
Our parks all have 24 hour security. Many of our caravans have alarms fitted and that is an option for you to consider. Our security people at the entrance to the complex are trained not to let any youngsters out on their own, and not to let anyone in without a pass. After we have walked around the Park and explored the facilities, you and your family can decide.

Do your Parks allow pets?
We welcome well trained dogs but reserve the right to refuse certain breeds. Please ensure your dog wears a collar and identity tag and is ona lead and under control by a responsible adult at all times. No animals, other than dogs, may occupy caravans without written permission of the Park Manager. Dogs are not allowed on certain areas of some Parks - please contact usfor more details.

Do all your Parks have disabled access?
We aim to make our facilities available and accessible for all. We sell adapted Holiday Homes, suitable for wheelchair users, at all our Parks.
