We've Won Caravan Dealer Of The Year For Yorkshire 🏆

We're really proud to share that Caravan Buyer UK has been named Caravan Dealer Of The Year for Yorkshire at the Prestige Business Awards 2025/26.

This award matters to us, and not just because of the number of holiday homes we help our customers sell. The judging panel looked at how we treat every single person who comes to us, the new ways we've developed to support private sellers and buyers, and our commitment to service excellence throughout.

The Prestige Awards celebrate businesses that consistently deliver outstanding service - the kind that larger organisations often can't match. As their founder put it, small businesses like ours focus on personalised, service-driven support that's sometimes missing from bigger companies.

We were assessed on service excellence, the quality of what we provide, new practices we've introduced, ethical working methods, and consistency. We had to show our strengths through evidence of our work, feedback from clients, and previous recognition - including our National Caravan Council accreditation.

What makes this really special is knowing it reflects what we've always believed in: that every customer deserves expert guidance, genuine support, and a team who'll go the extra mile. Not because it wins awards, but because it's the right thing to do.

We're very much looking forward to the awards ceremony in December. 🎉 🕺💃🏻

We've had a few more enquiries than usual lately from people who aren't sure whether scrapping their caravan is the right move, or how the whole process actually works.

So we've written a short blog that goes into a bit more detail.

It covers when scrapping might make sense, when it probably doesn't, and what's involved if you do go down that route.

Worth a read if you're in that situation. Or if you know someone who is.

Link below.

Before you accept that offer - and I know how tempting it is when you just want it sorted - there are a few things worth knowing about caravan scrap value, what affects it, and whether scrapping is actually your only option.

Most static caravan sales don't fall through because of price.

They stall because a seller realised halfway through that the park has approval rights they'd forgotten about, or the pitch fee they quoted doesn't match the actual invoice, or a document they assumed was easy to find is now nowhere.

You know there's paperwork involved. What catches people out is how much of it either doesn't exist yet or got stored "somewhere safe" that's now impossible to locate.

We've put together a guide covering the documents buyers and parks will actually ask for, the park-specific rules that trip up private sales, and the three situations that delay completions most often.

Worth a read if you're thinking of selling - or if you're already mid-sale and something's not moving as quickly as you'd hoped.

Get in touch - it's completely free. Honestly, with over 40 years of combined team experience in both private and on park caravan sales, we know our stuff. And we're good company too.

You can't put a round peg in a square hole.

Sounds obvious. But when it comes to selling your static caravan or lodge, most people try to force themselves into whatever option they hear about first – even when it doesn't fit.

Someone needs it gone quickly. They spend weeks trying to advertise it privately.

Someone else wants maximum value and has time to wait. They panic-sell to the first dealer at trade price.

Wrong peg. Wrong hole.

We offer three ways to sell – because your timeline and priorities aren't the same as everyone else's.

All three start with a free valuation and an honest conversation about what fits your situation.

We're not here to push you towards what suits us. We're here to help you find what suits you. Round peg, round hole.

Want to talk through your options? No pressure. Just straight advice.

Our free no obligation advice service will always underpin all three. Just want some help answering some questions? Get in touch, it costs nothing and we help people daily who dont go for any of our three selling options.

We've won our first award! 🎉🥇🕺💃🏻

We're genuinely buzzing!!!

First thing we asked when we heard: what did they actually judge us on?

Not sales volume. Not how fast we've grown.

They looked at how we treat clients. Our ethical practices. Whether the team enjoys working here. Our innovative ways of working. How we handle the tricky situations – not just the straightforward ones.

That's what matters to us.

Because when you're selling or buying a holiday home, it's not just a transaction. It's family holidays. Retirement plans. Investments that need to work. You need straight answers, not just someone telling you what moves the deal forward.

We're National Caravan Council accredited. We had to prove our processes, paperwork, and customer-first approach at every level.

This award sits alongside that. We didn't chase it. We just focused on doing the work properly.

Official announcement of the exact award coming in the next few weeks, but we couldn't keep it to ourselves! 🎊

Need help with your holiday home journey? We're here. Free advice. No pressure. Just an honest chat.

Thinking about selling your caravan privately?

Most sellers make the same mistakes. Not because they don't care - but because there are things you only learn after you've been through it. Or watched hundreds of others go through it first.

We've just published what we've learned from 43 years of combined team experience:

Pricing based on what you need, not what it's worth.
Ignoring park rules until a buyer's already interested
Underestimating how age and licence affect value
Choosing the wrong buyer for your situation
Trying to handle everything alone

These mistakes cost time, money and momentum. But they're all avoidable.

Or if you'd rather just talk it through – call us on 01262 410914 for free, no-obligation advice.

You've decided it's time. The caravan's been brilliant, but circumstances change. You list it, set what feels like a fair price, and wait.

Your phone goes again. Another "Is it still available?" message.

You reply. They ask three questions. You answer. Then nothing. They've vanished.

Next one wants to view. You arrange it. They cancel an hour before. The one after that turns up, has a look around, says they'll "think about it", and you never hear from them again.

Selling privately means dealing with dozens of enquiries. Most of them go nowhere.

We handle all of that for you.

When you choose our Professional Advertising & On-Park Sales Support, we don't just list your caravan. We manage every single enquiry. We answer the questions. We screen out the time-wasters. We pre-qualify the serious buyers.

You only hear from people who are ready - genuinely ready - for deeper detail or a viewing. The ones who have all the 'warts and all' information (if it exists).

Your time stays yours. Your phone stays quiet. And when someone does get through to you, they're worth speaking to.

We've been doing this for years. Forty-three years of combined team experience means we know what a serious buyer sounds like and what they don't.

Want to know how it works? Ring us or drop us a message for a free, no-obligation chat. No pressure. Just honest advice about whether this route suits your situation.

This one's something special.

We've just listed a Willerby Sheraton at North Bay Leisure Park in Bridlington - and the condition? Outstanding.

You can see it for yourself in the immersive tour and HD photos. The level of care here shows in every room. Not the kind of holiday home that needs work before you can enjoy it. The kind you collect the keys to and start using straight away.

Here's the thing, the owners fell in love with the area so much that they've bought a property nearby. That tells you everything about this location and what it offers.

Less than £40,000. Site fees included until 2027.

The immersive tour shows you exactly what you're getting. The photos do it justice. This is one of those where the marketing actually matches the home - and that doesn't happen as often as it should.

Take a look. Any questions, just ask.

Spent this week visiting parks around Yorkshire, and honestly, they look incredible right now.

Sun's out. Grass is cut. People are smiling.

There's something about this time of year that just makes everything feel a bit brighter. The parks we've been to this week have that proper spring energy, with families out enjoying the weather, caravans with doors open, that first proper feeling of the season getting started.

If you've been thinking about getting back to your holiday home or looking at parks for the first time, now's a good time. Everything looks its best when the sun's shining like this.

Hope you're all making the most of it this weekend. ☀️
