How much will it cost to maintain my holiday home?
As with owning your own car or home, there are some associated running costs to pay for your holiday home. Details can be found below:
Pitch fees
Pitch fees vary from park to park and are charged yearly. Specific pricing can be acquired by speaking to the sales team at your park of choice. The purchase price of your holiday home usually includes the pitch fees for the rest of the current year. Payment of pitch fees can be spread over 10 months through our Premium Credit Limited Payment Plan. There is a charge of 5% for this service.
Electricity
Electricity is charged separately to pitch fees. The cost per year will vary depending on how much the holiday home is used. We re-sell electricity to owners at the price we pay for it. We do not charge for meter readings.
Non-domestic rates
Non-domestic business rates are charged per holiday home and are billed separately to pitch fees. Since 2012 these have been subject to VAT.
Water and sewerage
Water and sewerage charges are charged separately to pitch fees. Since 2012, VAT has also been included in the cost.
General maintenance
Our parks also offer a number of services including winterisation, cleaning and servicing of your holiday home. These services can be booked through reception and are all charged services. Prices vary per service.
-
Can Hoburne provide finance, if needed?
We currently offer finance through Black Horse Finance. We work closely with them to ensure that we are offering our customers the best finance deal for their holiday home. There are minimum deposit criteria in place for all holiday home purchases that use finance towards the funding of the purchase. This may vary depending on the value of the holiday home. All finance is offered subject to status. Terms and conditions apply.
-
Do I need to insure my holiday home?
Yes. You do need to ensure that your holiday home is comprehensively insured and the policy has adequate liability cover, particularly if you intend to let out your holiday home.
Our recommended insurer, Lesiuredays, specialise in static caravan, holiday lodge and chalet insurance. 12 months standard insurance cover is included with all holiday home purchases.
Owners may select an alternative insurer providing it meets all of our minimum requirements including at least £5,000,000 public liability cover. You will be required to present a copy of your insurance certificate annually for the park to keep on file.
-
Will my holiday home be covered by a warranty?
All new holiday homes are covered by a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. The details of the warranty can vary between manufacturers, so please ask for further information.
We guarantee to repair or replace any electrical appliance supplied in any pre-owned holiday home for 3 months from the date of purchase. This excludes items already covered by either a new holiday home warranty or the appliance manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I live in my holiday home?

Rules
-
How long does the typical holiday home license run?
Brand new caravans are sold with a 15 or 20-year pitch licence agreement depending on the park and their location on the park.
Brand new lodges have a 25-year licence from new.
Pre-owned holiday homes are sold with the remainder of their original license agreement.
-
What happens at the end of my licence agreement?
Many of our owners chose to part-exchange and renew their holiday home before their Pitch Licence Agreement expires, continuing to take advantage of our fantastic part-exchange rates and to enjoy all the benefits that Hoburne holiday home ownership can offer.
If at the end of your Pitch Licence Agreement you do not wish to continue with ownership, we have a number of trade contacts who may be interested in purchasing your holiday home.
Alternatively, you can remove your caravan from the site and the park will arrange for your caravan to be removed from the pitch and made available for collection by your chosen caravan transportation company.
There is a disconnection and de-siting charge for removing a caravan from its pitch which can vary depending on the location and whether a crane is required.
Additional charges may be payable for the removal of any decking or sheds.
Any charges paid in advance (site fees, local authority rates, water charges, etc) are refunded on a pro-rata basis.
From Hoburne Blue Anchor, you can set a course for adventure right across Somerset
Your holiday home at Hoburne Blue Anchor puts you right beside the seaside, with sea views and beach walks in abundance. But it's just as good a base for exploring all the other attractions Somerset has to offer as well.
A visit to a cider press makes for a fascinating insight into Somerset's most famous export. Just go easy if you're sampling the scrumpy! You can travel back in time on the West Somerset Railway, enjoying the evocative sights and sounds of the steam train chugging through the beautiful Quantock hills.
Or, if you'd prefer to strike out under your own steam, a walk in Exmoor National park will reward you with fabulous views across the entire South West Peninsula, and perhaps an encounter with a group of Exmoor Ponies – an ancient breed, unchanged since the last ice age, that still roam free across the wild hills and moorland.
