Private Land Solutions
Complete guide to choosing, purchasing, and installing static caravans or lodges for annex accommodation. Make informed decisions for your family.
Why Choose This
Make informed decisions by understanding the key factors that affect your annex purchase and long-term satisfaction.
Caravans offer affordability and compact size. Lodges provide premium comfort and year-round living standards. Choose based on budget and intended use.
New units come with warranties and latest specifications. Used units offer savings but require careful inspection and may have limited remaining life.
BS3632 residential spec is essential for year-round living. EN1647 holiday spec is only suitable for occasional use. This affects comfort and energy costs.
Budget must include unit cost, delivery, base preparation, siting, utility connections, and ongoing council tax implications.
Choose established suppliers with proven track record. Check references, warranties, and after-sales support before committing.
New units typically have 1-10 year warranties. Understand what is covered, exclusions, and manufacturer support availability.
