Guide To Holiday Home Ownership
Guide To Holiday Home Ownership
Welcome to Lusso Parks, your gateway to holiday home ownership at two wonderful locations: Newbridge Country Park and Riverview Holiday Park.
Whether you’re seeking a luxurious lodge for weekend escapes, a tranquil retreat in the countryside, or a cosy base for exploring Scotland, this guide covers everything you need to know before buying your holiday home.
Why Choose Newbridge Country Park or Riverview Holiday Park?
- Quality, warranty-backed homes: Both parks offer lodges and static caravans built to high standards (often to BS3632 residential specification), with durable finishes and modern amenities.
- Transparent ownership terms and fair site fees: Site fees at both parks are simple and straightforward, typically around £2,700 per year, inclusive of water, rates, and VAT.
- Ethical resale practices & part-exchange options: If you decide to sell or upgrade, we are committed to fair resale terms. Many buyers also take advantage of “part exchange” — trading in a tourer, motorhome or existing holiday home to help fund a new purchase.
- Beautiful locations & community feel: Newbridge sits near the historic town of Dumfries, offering countryside calm with easy access to local amenities, while Riverview lies in the Scottish Borders, set on the banks of the River Liddel — ideal for those chasing peace, nature, and rural charm.
What to Expect: The Buying Process
- Browse and choose your holiday home: Both parks offer a range of holiday homes: from modest 2-bedroom lodges to larger, more luxurious models, in varying price ranges to suit different budgets.
- Part-exchange (optional): If you own a tourer, motorhome, or an existing holiday home, you may be able to part-exchange it, reducing upfront cost and simplifying the transition.
- Agree on ownership terms — fully transparent contracts: Lusso Parks prides itself on honest, clear terms from the outset. There are no hidden charges, and site fees are fixed and all-inclusive.
- Move in and enjoy your holiday home: Holiday homes come ready to use, often fully furnished; just bring your personal belongings and you’re set. At Riverview, for example, lodges include central heating, double glazing, broadband connectivity, private driveways and landscaped surroundings.
- Resale or upgrade when the time is right: If your life changes, or you wish to trade up, ethical resale practices ensure you get fair treatment.
Key Considerations Before You Buy
- Purpose of use: These holiday homes are designed for holiday use — perfect for breaks, stays, and getaways, but not for permanent residency.
- Annual site fees: Budget for the yearly site fee (e.g. £2,700) — this covers utilities, water, rates and park maintenance.
- Resale value & maintenance: As with any property, upkeep and the home’s condition will affect resale value. Looking after your holiday home and keeping it well maintained can help preserve value. However, just like your car, holiday homes do depreciate and you need to factor this into your long-term financial plans.
- Location & accessibility: Consider travel time to and from the park, proximity to amenities, and whether the park lifestyle suits you (quiet countryside vs. nearby towns).
