What we do

Finance for the whole holiday park journey

Holiday parks are commercial trading businesses, and they are financed differently from a home or a buy-to-let. The right facility is rarely the cheapest headline rate. It is the one that completes on time, suits a park whose income is concentrated in the season and lets you grow the trade and the holiday-home sales pipeline once it is yours. We arrange that facility. Typical park mortgages run at 50 to 65 per cent loan to value over 15 to 25 year terms.

We work with park operators, investors, multi-park groups and developers across the country. We arrange the acquisition mortgage that buys a static, lodge, touring or glamping park, the development and expansion finance that funds new lodge pitches, glamping or site infrastructure, the bridging that secures a park or an off-market opportunity quickly, the refinance and equity release that moves a park onto better terms or frees capital for the next deal, and the portfolio facilities that hold a group of parks for the long run.

A holiday park is underwritten as a trading business, not on residential loan to value. Lenders read the EBITDA, the pitch-fee and site-fee income, the holiday-home sales margin, the licence and planning position and the operator behind the park. Because we sit across more than one hundred lender relationships, we know which desks genuinely back holiday parks and caravan parks, at what leverage and on what terms. That is the work. We are an arranger and introducer, not a lender, and we do not give financial, legal or tax advice.

Finance

The finance we arrange

Products covering the whole holiday park and caravan park journey, used alone or in sequence.

Holiday park & caravan park mortgages

We arrange commercial mortgages to buy static caravan parks, lodge parks, touring and camping sites and glamping ventures across the UK. As an introducer we place each case with lenders who understand park trading income rather than residential loan to value.

Learn more

Park development & expansion finance

We arrange staged development finance to add new static, lodge, touring and glamping pitches, build facilities and lay infrastructure. Funding is drawn against cost and end value, then refinanced onto a park mortgage once the new income is trading.

Learn more

Holiday park bridging finance

We arrange short-term bridging to buy a holiday or caravan park quickly, whether at auction, against a deadline, or before clean accounts are available. Pricing starts indicatively from around 0.75 percent per month, with a clear exit onto a park mortgage or sale.

Learn more

Holiday park refinance & equity release

We arrange refinance to re-rate existing park debt and equity release to free capital against improved EBITDA. The released funds can fund expansion, further acquisitions or a partial release across a multi-park portfolio.

Learn more

Multi-park portfolio finance

When you run more than one park, separate loans on separate parks rarely serve you well. We arrange a single facility across the group, secured on the portfolio, sized on aggregate trading and built to flex as you buy, sell and refinance.

Learn more

Glamping & lodge development finance

Building a luxury lodge park or a glamping site is a development project before it is a trading business. We arrange staged development funding against cost and end value, with drawdowns that track construction and an exit planned from day one.

Learn more

Leisure & trading-business park mortgages

A holiday park is a trading business, not a row of houses. We arrange income and EBITDA-based commercial mortgages on the park as a going concern, sized on the accounts, the licence, the tenure and the strength of the operator behind it.

Why borrowers work with us

Relationships, structuring and pace

Whole-of-market panel

More than one hundred lender relationships across high-street banks, challenger banks and specialist leisure and holiday park funders.

Trading-business underwriting

A holiday park is a commercial trading business, underwritten on EBITDA, pitch-fee and site-fee income and holiday-home sales margin, not residential loan to value. We package deals the way the park finance desks read them.

Whole lifecycle

Acquisition, bridging, development and expansion, refinance, equity release and multi-park portfolio facilities, arranged on their own or in sequence.

We act for you

An arranger and introducer working for the borrower, not a single lender. We do not give financial, legal or tax advice.

Across the portfolio

We fund the acquisition or the development, then refinance or release equity once the park is trading and growing. The full journey.

Sourced market data

Savills park research, UKCCA sector data and VisitBritain tourism figures frame every appraisal.

Deal review

We read the park, its trading accounts and EBITDA, the pitch-fee and holiday-home sales income, the business plan and your timescale, and tell you what is fundable and on what terms.

Lender selection

We shortlist the desks most likely to back a holiday park or caravan park at the leverage you need.

Terms and negotiation

We package the deal, run it to the panel and negotiate heads of terms on your behalf.

Through to completion

We manage valuation, any project monitoring and the legals through to completion or first drawdown.

A note from the founder
Arranging finance for holiday parks, caravan parks and leisure property is something I have done for over 25 years. Every deal still comes through me personally: the structuring, the packaging, the credit conversations, the legals and the drawdown. Clients are not handed off. They get answers.
