Who will sell my caravan for me in Cambridgeshire?

By Brent·

Short answer

You can sell a caravan in Cambridgeshire yourself through a private advert, or sell it to a caravan dealer or trader who makes an offer. Dealers and park owners often work from an industry trade guide, so you can ask to see the figure it gives before you decide. Ask several dealers for their price, and confirm any council or company charges directly before you commit.

You can sell a caravan in Cambridgeshire yourself, through a private advert, or hand it to a caravan dealer or trader who will make an offer. The right route depends on how quickly you need the money, how much time you can give to enquiries and viewings, and how the caravan is presented. This guide sets out the main options, what drives the outcome of each, and the checks to make before you agree anything.

The main ways to sell a caravan

Selling to a dealer or trader

A dealer can take the caravan off your hands without you running adverts or arranging viewings. Northern Ireland government guidance on selling a static caravan suggests asking several caravan dealers whether they would buy yours and how much they would offer. It also explains that many park owners and dealers price caravans using an industry trade guide, which lists retail and trade-in values by type and age. If you are concerned about an offer, you can ask to see the figure in that guide before you decide. That guidance is written for static caravans on parks, so treat it as a sensible approach rather than a complete set of rules for a touring caravan.

Selling privately yourself

You will need to write the advert, answer enquiries, arrange viewings and negotiate.
