It is always best to buy straight from a private dealer like us, as we have over thirty five years of experience in the static caravans industry.
When you are looking for static caravans for sale take into account the maximum occupancy of the caravan just in case you decide to sublet it later.

Subletting your static caravan has great advantages, not only can you enjoy holidays, but whilst you aren’t there you can earn some money.

Static caravans for sale reach new sales record.

Posted on May 11, 2011 by admin

A static caravan for sale in Wales has broken national records by selling for £550,000. While the unit can perhaps be regarded by some as a holiday lodge, this is really just a double width static caravan. The unit is a four bedroomed model, situated on the Llyn peninsula in North Wales, with its own set of stairs leading directly to the beach. The park has numerous features such as sporting facilities including fully equipped gym and both outdoor and inside tennis courts. For less gruelling activities they have a spa and sauna, as well as the standard caravan park shop and laundry. The area is packed with things to do including wakeboarding, bird spotting and several fantastic golf courses.
Similar static caravans for sale fetch between £150,000 and £300,000 typically, depending on the proposed location. These units are truly top of the range with features such as underfloor heating, as standard. They also feature the latest technology, allowing the occupant to control all the electrical units from their iPhone.
Static caravans for sale at this price are a rarity, as caravans simply do not hold value in the same way the bricks and mortar buildings do. A similarly priced holiday cottage, in a comparably coveted spot will generally retain value, if not increase over the course of 10 years. With traditional properties, renovations can be made to rejuvenate the property; however, with caravans after the decade the fabric of the unit will show the age of the property. Static caravans are also generally placed on sites with a shorter lease assigned to them, making it harder to consider them a long term investment.
If you are looking for Static Caravans in Essex, then look no further that Sambeck caravans. We offer a fantastic range from all the major brands including BK Bluebird, Carnaby and Willerby. We stock both new and used static caravans, so there really is an option for every budget.
At Sambeck Caravans we don’t just stop at providing a huge selection of static caravans for sale at competitive prices. We also offer a comprehensive site surveying service, so you can see if your site will be suitable and our transport service, which delivers throughout the UK and Europe.

Buying insurance for your static caravans

Posted on May 11, 2011 by admin

You are under an obligation to have third party insurance on your static caravans if you are transporting it on a road. Cover for some caravans is usually included with your car insurance, but it is always best to check first. It is always highly recommended by insurance companies that you consider a more inclusive type of insurance for your static caravans.
Third party insurance will not cover any damage that has been sustained to the static caravan itself or any protection if your caravan is stolen. Always get the best cover available; search around for the best deals on static caravans.
Insurance for caravans usually relates to the type of caravan you are staying in. This may be touring caravans, static caravans, trailer-tents or motor-homes. All the different types of caravans have different requirements, which mean different costs to cover. So if you are looking at insurance for static caravans, make sure you check the requirements.
The insurance for static caravans works in many ways similar to car insurance by looking at your claims history and how long you have been insured to drive vehicles. If you are looking for insurance for static caravans, be aware of the parks location. If you are placed in a sheltered location you will get a much better deal than being placed somewhere at flood risk.
When looking for the best deals look for good value excess charges, premiums and no claims bonuses. Check out specialist static caravans insurers, they will more than likely be able to provide you with a better deal than other general insurers.
Static caravans insurance is essential if you want protection for your goods and the people in and around your caravan. No matter whether you use your static caravans frequently or for small breaks insurance is a must. Insuring against the unforeseen circumstances can be cheaper than you think and the peace of mind it will bring you is priceless.

Will the VAT changes affect the rate of static caravans for sale.

Posted on April 15, 2011 by admin

Across the UK most static and mobile caravan owners enjoy lower utilities bills such as water and effluence removal systems free of VAT. This lower rate is currently enjoyed by around 300,000 caravan dwellers in the UK, however it will be cancelled in January 2012. In this article we will question how this will affect the number of static caravans for sale in the UK.

The adaption of the legislation is initially advertised as bringing the UK policy in line with that of the EU community. However, as the change will generate c. £3 million per annum for the government it is hard to believe that the financial aspect was not taken into consideration. The changes will cost the average static caravan owner £100 per year.

Numerous representatives from the UK holiday industry have said that the changes are unwelcome and that the additional cost is an unneeded extra cost for the holiday industry. With the widespread availability of cheap European holidays on the market the UK tourist industry has already had a difficult few years, places such as caravan sites across the country in Cumbria, Colchester and Dorset have felt the repercussions.

This is leaving many people questioning what effects these new rates will have on the number of static caravans for sale. Theoretically it could reduce the number of buyers as they are put off. However, while 20% is a substantial increase, for many new to caravanning they will have no idea that they are paying an increased rate. There may be an increase in the number of second hand caravans for sale on the market as a few people are put off by the higher rates.

At Sambeck Caravans we have a fantastic selection of both new and second hand static caravans for sale.  We have in stock a range of sizes and different levels of interior specifications. There really is a static caravan for whatever requirements that you have. For example the Galaxy Venus 27x10ft caravan is the perfect choice for a fishing hut, to store your equipment close to your favourite fishing ground. Or if you are doing extensive renovation work on your home why don’t you save on rent and purchase a 35x12ft Delta Nordstar with 3 Bedrooms for no more than the price of a small car.

Static caravans for sale: Practical reasons for buying static caravans

Posted on March 22, 2011 by admin

The practical uses of static caravans and mobile homes are evident within many industries and within private homes as they offer a solution when renovation work is being undertaken either at work or home.  Many people consider buying mobile homes or static caravans for sale as an escape from the dust and disruption of building work. Used caravans can offer a cheaper alternative for your residential needs when compared to staying in hotels which can soon become very expensive.

A good example of this is if you have decided to commission a home extension and want an alternative to living within the building during the work. If you have the space within your garden it would be sensible to visit Sambeck Caravans to view some mobile homes and static caravans for sale before starting the work. Both new caravans and used caravans offer a home from home whilst still being able to keep an eye on the progress of your building project.

Static caravans can also offer practical temporary office space if your business premises are unusable for any period of time. Many businesses have their own secured car park which makes an ideal location for static caravans to be placed. Viewing static caravans for sale at Sambeck caravans could offer you a simple and practical solution to allow the continued smooth flow of your business during any such periods.  If your premises unexpectedly become unusable you can be assured that Sambeck Caravans will have something suitable in stock at their Essex headquarters.

When looking at alternative housing or office solutions there are many things to consider, even when looking at static caravans for sale, such as neighbours, if the area where you would like to place your static caravan would impose on them somehow. Also, if you are likely to have vehicles passing through in order to take supplies to where you are having the work done, then this is also a consideration.

Sambeck Caravans have over 25 years’ experience in the transportation of both static caravans and mobile homes and are happy to offer their expert advice if you are unsure if a static caravan or mobile home will fit into the space available.

Are you a self-builder and looking for static caravans for sale?

Posted on March 22, 2011 by admin

If you are planning to commence a self-build project then one important consideration in the early planning stages will be living arrangements or accommodation when building. It is an important consideration because it will affect cash flow in terms of the money you have available, as well as reducing time spent commuting to the site.

The ideal situation when planning a self-build project may seem like staying in your current home, however, financial burden can be high as financing a self-build project in itself can be costly. Any additional costs of living elsewhere would inevitably simply add to this burden. However, in many cases the current home will have been sold in order to release capital for the project and so other living arrangements will have to be made. Despite this, we have included some thoughts if you do choose to live in your current home:

-        The commute to and from the building site each day

-        On-site security when off-site

-        Budget implications of running two homes especially later on in the project.

Renting a property could be an option as you may be able to move closer to the land where you are building, which if you have a family would allow your children to settle into the schools that they will attend when the new home is complete. The main problem associated with renting whilst building is that your money is essentially being thrown away. In addition to this, the contract length of the rental may not tie in with your building plans as contracts typically last for either 6 or 12 months at a time.

Considerations if contemplating renting:

-        Financial implications

-        Timescales of contracts and the build, it would be worth asking if there would be flexibility to extending month by month, especially if the project does not progress as quickly as hope.

-        You will not need to put your furniture in storage if in an unfurnished property.

Living on-site in a static caravan or mobile home offers some distinct advantages, especially if you are managing the project, as you will want to be on-site as much as possible in order to oversee all decisions. A distinct advantage would be that you are able to work the hours you need. Static caravans for sale are available from dealers, however it is also a good idea to check out prices online in order to find the most suitable mobile home or static caravan for you and your needs. Being on-site will allow you to see the design taking place and possibly offer further ideas as the build progresses, as well as adding security to the site, possibly deterring thieves and vandals as there is a permanent resident. Moreover you will be on-site should anything unexpected happen, such as a delivery or a design issue that needs your attention. When looking at static caravans for sale when planning your self-build project you should consider the following:

-        Invest in a mobile home or caravan that is big enough for you and your family.

-        Consider storage costs for your furniture whilst living in the caravan.

-        Look at if you will require planning permission and the positioning of the caravans in relation to neighbours and the routes of delivery vehicles.

If you are looking for static caravans for sale, then look no further than Sambeck Caravans who have a great range of static caravans for sale that you can view online, in order to help you make the best choice depending on your requirements. In addition, Sambeck Caravans have a show ground conveniently located in Essex, should you wish to visit and see the range of static caravans for sale.

Static caravans for sale: Buying your Static Caravan

Posted on February 22, 2011 by admin

Static caravans offer owners a home away from home. Having a holiday property to retreat too is an attractive prospect for many buyers. There is a large range of static caravans for sale and as such you are sure to find a van to match your budget.  Used static caravans can be a great way to get extra value for money.

There are several things to consider when looking at static caravans for sale. Budgets for static homes need to include running costs; as they are more expensive to run than standard towed caravans. You will have to pay rent and possibly money to a park / residents association towards the upkeep of the park you are situated in. Your caravan will also be connected to mains electric and fresh water, so do not forget to factor those into your budget projections.

Some people choose to use their static caravans as permanent residences. If you choose to do this then you need to check that permanent residence is allowed and you also need to obtain planning permission from the local council.  Recently, a caravan site in Aberystwyth has run afoul of the council because they do not have planning permission for 44 out of 68 caravans. They are now applying for retrospective planning permission; if it is not granted then the residents of 44 of the caravans may be homeless for six weeks of every year. Ultimately this case highlights the need to fully check out the status of the site before you commit to it.

If you are not looking to have a permanent residence, then you may want to rent out your static caravan when you are not using it. This can significantly contribute towards the running costs of your caravan particularly if you are only going to use it for a few months of the year. This can influence your choices when looking at static caravans for sale, as personal preferences may not be the best option for letting purposes.

Buying a static caravan can be a great way to own a holiday home. But make sure that you do a lot of research so that your static caravan will always be the perfect retreat.

Sambeck Caravans have a fantastic selection of Static caravans for sale. The collection features both new and second hand caravans, for you to choose from.
