Major parks group braced for holiday home sales surge

Park Holidays UK’s holiday homes are well-distanced and with lashings of fresh air in spacious grounds

PARK HOLIDAYS UK is finalising plans to re-open.

Enquiries have soared since the start of May, says the group, fuelled by the likelihood that overseas holidays will be a no-go this year and possibly next.

Would-be buyers are also heeding signals that in any phased re-opening of holiday parks, private owners will probably be among the first welcomed back.

Park Holidays UK directo avoid rationing the distribution of holiday caravans and lodges among its 31 parks:

Tony Clish says sales enquiries have continued throughout the lockdown

“We do carry good levels of new sto offer,” he said.

“Sales enquiries slowed in March when government ordered the shut-down of parks – but they’ve since been escalating to a phenomenal extent throughout spring.

“I think there’s the realisation that one of the best ways to enjoy staying in the UK is by owning a holiday home where you can take breaks throughout the four seasons.

“That, of course, and the fact that a park is perhaps the safest of all holiday destinations with completely self-contained accommodation set at least five metres apart.

“The staycation trend was already well entrenched before this present crisis, and I think it is going to come back with a vengeance,” added Tony.

He said that Park Holidays UK had no intention of raising holiday home prices above their pre-lockdown levels, and will even be providing buying incentives.

Discounts of up to 20% on some models, free pitch fees this year and next, and reduced finance rates are all in place as part of a celebration re-opening event.

However, said Tony, measures are also being taken tomers and the parks’ staff when viewings are once again permitted.

Separate vehicles will be used tomary handshake replaced by a friendly wave.

“We are now on the cusp of UK holidays being once more in the frame, and with holiday home owners leading the march back – we can’t wait!” said Tony.
