How do I buy a holiday home?

When it comes to purchasing your new holiday home, we require an initial deposit of £5,000 to reserve your plot and holiday home, along with a signed Purchase Agreement which outlines all the elements of both your purchase and terms of ownership. To prepare for a move-in date, the deposit required will then be 75% of the agreed asking price. We will then require the full cleared balance to be in place before the agreed handover date.

What’s included in the price?

All of our holiday homes come fully furnished to help to make it an ultimate “turn-key” experience. They all have fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, along with all the expected white goods: a fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.

Externally, our holiday homes come with decking or a rooftop terrace and parking to complement and maximise the enjoyment of each plot: we really think about how our holiday homeowners will want to use their outside space.

What are the average running costs?

The average annual running costs include:

Site Fees | To be advised (payable annually)
Insurance | A “new for old” policy is required (estimated £250-£400)
Electrics | Individually metered (estimated £300 per annum)
Gas | Individually metered (estimated £350 per annum)

Do you have boat mooring?

Given that we’re situated on the beautiful banks of the Blackwater Estuary, there are a number of options to moor your boat, just minutes from your new lodge.

Will I have a deck or a rooftop terrace?

The choice is yours! We have both options available with our bespoke luxury holiday homes, though this may be limited by plot choice. Either way, you’ll have beautiful views over the Blackwater Estuary, just metres from your holiday home.

What interior design options do you have?

All of our holiday homes come with four distinct style options – whether you prefer contemporary or fusion styles, we know you’ll find the luxury getaway that suits you and your tastes. You can see more about these on our Lodges for Sale page.

How large can my holiday home be?

Our holiday homes range in size from 40ft x 20ft to an astonishing 66ft x 22ft – the largest available anywhere in the UK. Please note that this may be limited by plot choice.
