Holiday park finance in the East Midlands
The Lincolnshire coast at Skegness, Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards and Mablethorpe is one of the densest single concentrations of holiday parks in the UK, a high-volume family-resort market anchored by Butlin's and a string of large static-caravan parks.
The East Midlands rises to 636 metres at Kinder Scout in the Peak District and was established as a Government Office region in 1994. We arrange the full range of holiday park and caravan park finance across the East Midlands, from the acquisition mortgages that buy a static, lodge, touring or glamping park to the bridging, development and expansion finance behind new lodge pitches, glamping or site infrastructure, and the refinance and equity release that frees capital for the next deal. Park market data is published at national and regional level by Savills, the UKCCA and VisitBritain, so the figures above are attributed to their sources, while the housing-transaction figure is genuinely local Land Registry data for the catchments we track.
The Lincolnshire coast is one of the densest holiday-park clusters in the UK: Ingoldmells, Skegness, Chapel St Leonards and Mablethorpe carry a very high concentration of large static-caravan parks, with Blue Anchor Leisure alone running 18 parks across the coast and South Yorkshire. The market is high-volume, value-led family resort with strong holiday-home sales. We arrange acquisition, portfolio and expansion finance across the Lincolnshire coast, where the lot sizes and trading volumes suit both first-time park buyers and consolidating operators.
What drives the East Midlands holiday park market:
- the Skegness and Ingoldmells resort, Butlin's and one of the best selections of holiday parks around a single area in the country
- very large static-caravan parks with major operators (Coastfields, Golden Palm, Southview, Blue Anchor Leisure's 18 parks)
- value family holidays with drive-to accessibility from the East Midlands and Yorkshire

The park finance we arrange in the East Midlands
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
