Escalating site fees
Pitch and service charges climbing year on year, far beyond anything indicated when you bought.
Holiday park ownership
Caravan and holiday park ownership — examined against what you were promised
Static caravans, lodges and park homes are sold as lifestyle purchases. We compare the paperwork — licence terms, fee schedules, finance agreements — against the representations made when you bought.

The concerns we hear from caravan and lodge owners
Holiday park ownership is sold on lifestyle. For some owners the reality becomes a schedule of rising charges and closing doors. These are the patterns worth reviewing.
Rapid depreciation
A caravan or lodge worth a fraction of its price within a few seasons — despite the asset language used at the sale.
Resale restrictions
Terms that control who you can sell to, or buy-back offers far below what you were led to expect.
Rental income shortfalls
Letting projections that encouraged the purchase — and never came close in practice.
Hidden & additional charges
Decking, utilities, maintenance, upgrades — costs that only surfaced after completion.
Difficult exits
Owners who feel unable to leave the park, sell privately, or end the agreement without heavy loss.
Document-led, not drama-led
What a review actually involves
The recurring pattern is familiar: a purchase encouraged by rental income projections and asset language, followed by rising annual charges, restricted resale routes, surprise costs, and valuations far below expectation. Whether that amounts to a reviewable grievance depends on documents — not indignation.
We begin with the paper: purchase agreement, licence conditions, fee invoices, marketing kept from the sales process, and any finance documentation. From there we map representations against terms and advise whether escalation is proportionate.
- Fee-escalation mapping — year-on-year pitch and service charges reconciled against what was originally indicated.
- Resale, buy-back and depreciation review — what the agreement actually permits versus what was suggested.
- Finance agreement checks, including how linked lending and commissions were disclosed.
How it works
Four steps, no pressure at any of them
- Share your story. A confidential conversation about how the purchase happened and where ownership stands today.
- Send the paperwork. Purchase or licence agreement, fee invoices, marketing you kept, finance documents — gaps are normal.
- Merit review. We map the representations made against the terms you actually signed, and weigh the evidence soberly.
- Clear advice. A straight answer on whether escalation is proportionate — and the practical alternatives if it isn't.
Not every ownership grievance is a viable claim — where a case looks weak or uneconomic, we say so plainly and set out practical alternatives instead.
FAQ
Caravan & holiday park questions
The recurring themes: pitch and service fees rising beyond what was indicated at purchase, valuations and buy-back offers far below expectation, restrictions on selling privately, rental income that never matched the projections, charges that only surfaced after completion, and licence terms that read very differently from the sales conversation.
Often, yes. Finance agreements form part of the review — how the lending was arranged, what was disclosed about commissions, and how the agreement interacts with the purchase itself can all be relevant. Bring the finance paperwork along with the purchase documents.
Your purchase or licence agreement, fee invoices year by year, any brochures or marketing you kept from the sales process, correspondence with the park, and finance documentation if the purchase was financed. Gaps are normal — we work with what exists.
You get a straight answer on where you stand at the review stage, rather than after you have committed. Not every agreement will qualify — where a case does stand up, we set out the route and the costs in writing before any substantive work begins.
We tell you. It serves nobody to pretend otherwise. Where escalation looks uneconomic we set out the practical alternatives instead — structured fee challenges, negotiation, or exit planning.
