Around a fifth of the East of England lies below mean sea level, and the region includes the lowest point in the country at Holme in Cambridgeshire. We arrange the full range of holiday park and caravan park finance across the East of England, 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 East of England runs one of the densest coastal park strips in the country along the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, dominated by large family static-caravan parks with on-site entertainment, plus a string of Essex Sunshine Coast parks. The model is high-volume holiday-home sales and pitch fees with strong drive-to demand from London and the Midlands. We arrange acquisition, refinance and expansion finance across the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex coast, where trading parks with a long licence and an active holiday-home sales pipeline attract competitive park-mortgage pricing.

What drives the East of England holiday park market:

  • wide sandy beaches and traditional seaside resorts at Great Yarmouth, Hemsby and Clacton
  • large family entertainment-led parks (Richardson's, Haven, Parkdean) clustered on the Norfolk coast
  • drive-to accessibility from London, the East Midlands and the East of England

Finance

The park finance we arrange in the East of England

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.
