Holiday homes in Dorset

We have a very broad range of new and pre-owned holiday homes for sale across our eight holiday parks in the south and south west of the UK.  

You can browse our holiday homes for sale by clicking here. We also have a number of exciting new holiday home developments with the latest models of caravans and lodges from some of the most popular manufacturers. 

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 season. 

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. 

Yes we offer finance options. 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.

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. 

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.

We welcome dogs on our parks but they must be kept on leads at all times and exercised in the designated areas. Only guide dogs are allowed in the complex and it is the responsibility of owners to clean up after their dogs and use the dog bins provided. 

Did you know your holiday home could be earning you money when you are not there? Simply letting your holiday home for the times you are not there could contribute towards your site fees.

Yes! Hoburne is proud to be a member of the NCC. What this means for you is that we have made a commitment to our customers to operate to the highest standards of customer service, to treat our customers with respect and to deal with them in a fair and open manner. 

We are also members of the BH&HPA. All of our parks are graded under the 'Visit Britain' scheme and have achieved a minimum 4 star rating. 

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 licence agreement. 

Many of our owners choose 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. 

Any charges paid in advance (site fees, local authority rates, water charges, etc) are refunded on a pro-rata basis.
