FAQs

Our holiday home specialists, each with over 20 years’ experience in the holiday park industry. We’re a small team, and our focus is on getting to know you and helping you find the right park and holiday home for you, with no pressure to rush your decision.

You’ll deal with the same people from your first visit to the day you get your keys, and we don’t disappear after that. We’ll check in with you during your first few months, we’re on hand for any questions, and we’re often out on park, so you can catch up with us or pop by. As HARPA members, we’re held to high standards, so you can buy with peace of mind.

The main annual cost is your site fee. Site fees range from £3,335 to £5,809 a year depending on the park and the holiday home you choose.

The only other annual costs are fuel (you only pay for what you use), insurance and your share of the park’s local authority rates, which we’ll confirm for your park.

Costs depend on the park and holiday home you choose, so get in touch and we’ll give you a clear breakdown for the one you’re interested in.

Site fees and pitch fees are two names for the same thing. It’s the annual charge you pay to keep your lodge or caravan on its pitch at the park.

As well as your pitch, your site fee covers the services and facilities that help keep the park looking its best and running smoothly, such as:

• Grass cutting and grounds maintenance
• Street lighting
• Use of the park’s amenities
• On-site staff

Electricity, gas, rates and insurance are charged separately.

Site fees vary by park and by type of holiday home.Site fees ranges from £3,335 to £5,809 a year depending on the park and the holiday home you choose.
Your Licence Agreement sets out exactly what’s included in your fee and anything that’s charged separately.

Site fees are reviewed each year, normally in line with inflation, and we’ll always give you written notice of any change.

Our Holiday home specialists will be happy to talk you through the fees at each park and answer any questions you have.

When you purchase a lodge or static caravan holiday home you will be offered a licence agreement outlining the terms of its use.

Agreements can be anything from 10 years for a new static caravan holiday home, or up to 40 years for a new lodge.

Your holiday home is for holiday use only, so it can’t be your main home. Your licence agreement doesn’t allow year-round living, and you’ll need a permanent main home elsewhere. We’ll ask for proof of your main address when you buy.

You can enjoy your holiday home as often as you like while your park is open. Opening seasons vary from park to park, from 10 to 12 months of the year. Even at parks with a 12-month season, this means you can take a holiday at any time of year, not that you can live there.

If you’d like to know the season dates for a particular park, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

Yes. Your family and friends are welcome to use your lodge or static caravan, as long as everyone follows the park rules. Largo Leisure Parks sets these rules for the benefit of all our owners. For security reasons, please tell the park team in advance who will be staying, so we always know who is on site.

Lodges and static caravan holiday homes at Largo Leisure Parks may not be used as your sole residence. The park is licensed by the local authority for holiday use only, however there is nothing to prevent you using your holiday home to the maximum amount of time allowed.

You must have, and be able to provide details, of a main residence off-site.

Our holiday homes are fully furnished, carpeted, have a fitted kitchen with appliances, beds, curtains, lighting, etc. The only items you would normally have to purchase yourself are a television, bedding and cutlery, but we can also arrange these if required at a cost.

If you decide it’s time to sell your lodge or caravan, there are several options, and our team will help you with whichever one suits you best. You can choose from:

• Sell privately. You can sell your holiday home to a buyer you’ve found yourself, and our team is on hand to answer any questions you have along the way.
• Sell it back to us. We may be able to buy your holiday home from you, if we can agree a price that works for both of us.
• Get trade bids. We can arrange bids from trusted trade buyers, which is often a quick and simple way to sell.
• Remove it from the park. If you’d like to keep your holiday home, it can be taken off the park.
• Move to another park. You can move your holiday home to another Largo Leisure Parks site, perhaps to enjoy a new location, or to a different park altogether.

Selling a holiday home is a big decision, and we want it to be as easy as possible for you. Our team is always happy to talk through your options, answer any questions and help you decide what’s right for you. Just get in touch with your park team or our sales team whenever you’re ready

No. Because a holiday home on a park isn’t classed as a second home or property, you won’t pay council tax or stamp duty (known as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, or LBTT, in Scotland) when you buy at most of our parks. Instead, a share of the park’s non-domestic rates is included in your annual costs, which is usually much less than council tax on a second home. Lodges with heritable title at Loch Tay Highland Lodges work differently, so our holiday home specialists will talk you through the details.

Buying a holiday home is an exciting step, and understanding the legal side is just as important.

We support guidance from the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA), who provide clear, independent advice for buyers.

We would always advise you to ensure that you have an understanding of your ownership and legal agreements before proceeding.
