I run a park and looking to make some bases available for bring ons - but I would love some feedback to what would you expect in return from the park
Such as would you want the park to transport the home and re-site it / would you expect a max age of static that was allowed ?
Ideally I would like feedback / suggestions to make it a easy , simple and cost effective process
I have no intention of moving, so probably not the right person to answer.. but as nobody else has either, here are my thoughts for what they are worth.
(a) A high majority of people who ask about moving their static refer to it being "too old" for the park they are on, so a park accepting old statics would probably be of more interest. Of course, that would have to apply to all vans, otherwise you will annoy existing owners.
(b) Nearly all the parks that have online pages about "bring-on" availability do not give any details apart from "contact us". There is one exception, which gives a clear indication of terms, costs and van ages. IF I was moving, I would find it easier to start asking at a park which had already attracted my interest with relevant information.
(c) Offering to arrange the transport and siting would, I think, be of interest to most people. Offering to liaise with the park they are leaving would also probably be of interest (but could also cause you a lot of extra work).
(d). If you do go down this route(bring-ons), then if I was a potential customer I would expect to see a draft contract for the park, not just the transfer, before arranging any move. You presumably would need to have a potential customer confirming that they have read, understood, and agree the terms.
Thank you for the info - its helpful !
I agree with all of the points - but liaising with the park the customer is leaving mainly would depends how helpful they would be i think
But yes I would want the potential customer to view our park , make sure they have a copy of the rules and the agreement and all costs are in writing before before anything more happens.
I have a transport company and siting and all costs would be clearly shown
We wouldnt class it as a transfer it would be a agreement which all would be organised before anything would happen and even if this is signed there is still a cooling off period for this
One thing that does spring to mind is insurance. Are there specialist companies for this?
The transporter insurance would - presumably - cover any damage caused to the van itself during transport and siting.
Internal fixtures/fittings - would either have to be removed or protected and secured. If the van is one with a lot of free-standing furniture, then probably a separate transport would have to be arranged for that.
What about damage (cracks, etc) found after the new siting which is not a direct result of the transport but because an old van was simply unable to stand the stresses (having seen vans being sited, I know it is not a gentle task).

Good Morning
We are bringing on our first customers holiday home at the end of the month, and the transporter takes over the insurance cover as soon as it is being loaded onto his lorry , until it is dropped off and then we insure the holiday home until it is sited on the new pitch.
Contents / loose items are being packed and wrapped and placed on the floor of the holiday home. We have moved a awful lot of holiday homes and thankfully have all been trouble free
Just for those that asked about the bringons, and to hopefully be transparent about we worked it - we have now moved two customers holiday homes onto our park successfully.
One came down from Scotland and one has come from a coastal park.
( One was 10 years old and the other was 7 years old ) We didn't charge a bring on fee or commission.
The costs to the customers were transport ( which we organised ) siting, plumbing and the concrete base, and both customers brought their existing decking
Thats a very reasonable deal you are offering, only wish it was a park in Scotland would do the same, I want to move my van to central Scotland somewhere but costs are absolute rip off, not from the transport side , but from the park owners, proper greedy bastards!
Sorry I cannot help - I think its always better to start off any customer relationship by being fair and looking at it the start of a long relationship
