Hi I am looking for a Static Caravan on a site in Normandy or Brittany to buy. Does anyone know of any please. Would like 2 + beds and nice site for family holidays only not for letting ... thanks all Mimi
When we bought our static, (we bought from caravans in the sun in the end), but we took the tent & went camping for a week in the area that we wanted to buy in.
We visited a few sites that we liked, & looked at some of the used vans that they had for sale there.
We've never regretted buying our own holiday home. We've left a tent in it & go for a mid-holiday camping holiday in the middle of our main holiday! (Last year we did Ile de Re: I tried twice to review the site on here but it wouldn't load on for some reason )
As long as you accept that this isn't an investment, you will have to sell it back at a fraction of what you paid for it, you'll be fine. We've had some great holidays in ours with our 2 lads, so from that perspective, it's been a great investment!
My aunt and uncle have bought a house in the Charente Maritime as a holiday home & investment. My uncle has to hot-foot it over there to deal with tiles on the roof, storm damage etc. They have a nice back yard with a BBQ & table & chairs. We lock our van up, in its garden, with its decking, bar, table tennis, indoor & outdoor pools & know that if anything needs attention, Elizabet will be on the phone & we can e-mail to organise anything. When my youngest left his glasses behind, Michel the manager went in & posted them to us. When we're not there, we really can forget about it.
We use a French company, Poitiers Mutuel, to insure it with & it's about €100 per year.
I hope that you find something that meets your needs, but my best advice is to go and visit the area & walk round sites with statics for sale. Good Luck!
Just another idea, you could store a tourer over in France, less off a commitment and cheaper. We store one it cost 275 euros, the campsite washes for us and sites it for us so when we arrive the fridge is cool.
