Why Buy a Mobile Home in Europe?

If you are thinking of buying holiday home in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Tenerife or the Greek Isles – there are some very good reasons why it’s worth considering purchasing a mobile home.

All year round living

Most of our mobile home parks throughout Europe are open all year – some are even residential so you can live there, some facilities may be seasonal (e.g. open air swimming pool, entertainment etc.).

Great choice of locations and facilities

Caravans in the Sun has mobile home parks in Brittany, the Vendée, Normandy (2), Ile de France, Ardennes, Aquitaine, Dordogne (2), and in the South of France near Perpignan, the Costa Brava, Costa del Azahar, Costa Blanca, Costa Calida, Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz in Spain, the Algarve in Portugal, Canary Islands in Tenerife, Tuscany in Italy and the Greek Islands of Zante and Crete.

Park facilities vary – most have swimming pools (some have indoor pools for winter) and a play area for children, some have fitness rooms, entertainment, free fishing lakes or even direct access to the beach. Local facilities and facilities for each park are listed on our website.

Low cost purchase with choice of Leasehold or Freehold

Prices for sited mobile homes in France start at £4,995 and sited new mobile homes are priced from £16,495 in Spain.

Freehold plots in Normandy are just 120m from the beach cost from just €25,440 (inc VAT) and leasehold plots start with annual ground rent from 1,800€.

No Exchange Rates – Purchase in Sterling

There is no need to worry about fluctuating exchange rates – all the mobile homes are priced in sterling on our website. If you are purchasing in Euros or would like to convert £’s into €’s for ground rent or day to day living then our currency partner ‘Currencies Direct’ can provide preferential rates.

Most parks have no age restriction on mobile homes

Most of our park owners are quite happy for you to keep your mobile home on the park for as long as you wish – unlike the UK they do not ask for you to remove your home for a new one every 10 – 15 years (as long as owners keep their home and plot well maintained).

Most parks are pet friendly
