Starting from the outside is usually the best way to tackle things.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEnsure that your holiday caravan is presented in as close to its original specification and condition as possible, with the only exception to this being the addition of double glazing and central heating. Changes to internal d\u00e9cor and furnishings may not suit the taste of other buyers and are generally unpopular with trade buyers.&#8221; <\/em>Randal advises<em>.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Use a pressure washer on a low power setting to clean off any debris or dirt build up from your static\u2019s exterior, particularly doors and windows. Wipe away any excess water with warm soapy water. Take care on sealed areas \u2013 the last thing you want is a leaky caravan.<\/p>\n<p>Cracked skylights, leaking windows, damaged cupboards, scuffed flooring \u2013 anything that\u2019s started to look a little dated, worn or damaged should be repaired or replaced. A great tip from Simon at OIP Static Caravan Services is to <em>\u201censure all handles and door locks are <\/em><em>regularly lubricated.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tracey adds to this telling us, <em>\u201cEverything the prospective buyer touches should feel solid and secure. Anything that\u2019s damaged or faulty could deter the park operator from buying,\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember to also check the roof of your unit for faults and blockages in the drainage system.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Extra considerations when selling privately<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before selling privately, it\u2019s important to check with your park to make sure what terms and conditions it has about selling your caravan to somebody else. The park may want to vet the person coming on to the park to make sure they meet park rules and agree to take over your pitch fees.<\/p>\n<p>Glass&#8217;s Randal Thomas advises that park rules may influence your ability to sell your caravan privately, and that park operators may take a cut of the sale, <em>\u201cIf your caravan or lodge is of an age that allows it to be resold and kept on the current site then you should liaise with your park operator in the first instance to arrange a private sale if this is a service that they offer.\u00a0 This will incur a commission to your park operator but is by far the best way to maximise your resale value.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf your static caravan or lodge has exceeded the maximum age limit or your park operator doesn\u2019t allow private sales and your unit needs to be removed then your option for resale is limited to either arranging its removal and sale yourself via an online auction as an example or arranging a sale to a holiday caravan trader.\u00a0 Before considering arranging a sale yourself it is advisable to check out the charge for onsite disconnection of your holiday caravan and onward transportation. Both elements can be costly. Your park operators will be able to put you in touch with your local trader.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanguard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/shutterstock_157319687.jpg\" alt=\"How to maximise the resale value of your static caravan or lodge\" width=\"380\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If your unit is able to stay on site, one of the most obvious ways to earn the most from your unit in a private sale is to give it a really good clean. This may seem like a mammoth task at first but once you\u2019ve de-cluttered the space inside for resale, cleaning internal surfaces is much easier. A clutter-free static is particular attractive to a private seller.<\/p>\n<p>Tracey, who has a huge amount of experience in the private resale market, she tells us, <em>\u201cAs with bricks and mortar properties, first impressions count for optimum impact when selling a static. If you have lots of personal items and ornaments on show, purchasers can get distracted which it makes it difficult for them to imagine themselves in the home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If your carpets and upholstery have started to look a little tired or grubby, shampooing them is a relatively cheap way to get them looking like new again. One of the most popular products to use is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vax.co.uk\/carpet-shampoo-solution\">VAX carpet shampoo<\/a><\/strong>; apply across the carpet or to specific problem areas and use hot soapy water for the best results.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want to invest in new additional soft furnishings such as throws and rugs to bring the static caravan back to life.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re inviting people to come and look at your unit one thing you want to make sure looks presentable is the oven; both on the top around the stoves and inside where build up is expected.<\/p>\n<p>There are hundreds of oven cleaning products to choose from but if you specifically want to remove grease and grime, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxwellsdiy.com\/furniture-homeware-c7\/cleaning-c139\/hg-grease-away-500ml-p2962\/s4782?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_term=hg-grease-away-500ml&amp;utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&amp;gclid=CPWxjOiyz8ICFezHtAodc0IA5g\">Maxwells Grease Away<\/a> <\/strong>should do the job.<\/p>\n<p>By thoroughly cleaning the caravan you immediately make it welcoming, which is very important when trying to \u2018sell\u2019 the lifestyle that static caravans offer.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly Tracey recommends that you have facts and figures about the unit and the park on-hand so if you are asked about heating bills, or pitch fees you are able to answer. Knowing a little about clubs and activities in your area will also help to drive the sale.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Extra considerations when selling to a park or dealer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re able to sell your static caravan or lodge back to your park operator, be prepared that park operators tend to buy at trade prices and re-sell at retail prices so you\u2019re unlikely to get as much as you would from a private sale but the plus side is that the sale should be a lot quicker and easier. A key thing to remember here is that the park owner or dealer will have a specific amount in mind. In most cases this is the amount given by valuation guides such as the Glass\u2019s Guide.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3055 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pound-coins-380x253.jpg\" alt=\"How to maximise the resale value of your static caravan or lodge\" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pound-coins-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pound-coins-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pound-coins-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pound-coins.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Major refurbishment possibilities <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many higher end modern static caravans and lodges tend to feature free standing furniture, central heating and double glazing.<\/p>\n<p>If your older unit doesn\u2019t have these there are specialists who can carefully remove older fixed furniture and install heating systems or double glazing.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing fixed seating with free standing modern alternatives will give your static a whole new look and feel, and should add a lot to the unit\u2019s resale value.<\/p>\n<p>Installing a central heating system or double glazing (or both!) is another great way to add warmth into the caravan.
