Frequently asked questions
What price are your lodges?
Our prices vary according to model and plot position but start at around £79,930
What facilities are available on the park?
The joy of Franchis and what makes it special is that it’s a quiet, rural park where you can really get away from it all. Wildlife abounds and, with minimal park lighting, our night skies are fabulous. We just have a small launderette.
What are the annual costs after purchasing my holiday home?
The annual pitch fee is £3500 (inc VAT) for new owners for a 12 month licence. Gas (bottled) as and when required, electricity (metered) is billed monthly as used. We’re lucky enough to have our own private water supply here so that’s just £185 (inc VAT) per year.
How long can my holiday lodge stay at Franchis?
We offer a standard Licence Agreement of 45 years.
When can I use my holiday home?
You can enjoy holidays here any time you like within the year.
What models are available?
We offer a large range of models by Swift, Carnaby, Sunseeker and Europa .
How quickly can we 'move in'?
Usually within 2 weeks if we have stock on site.
Can I live in my holiday home?
No, this is not possible. Franchis is a holiday park, not a residential park. Your main residence must be away from the park and we will need you to provide proof of this address with documentation such as a. recent utility bill, current council tax bill, and driving licence or similar. We reserve the right to request up to date copies of these documents on an annual basis.
Can I sub-let my holiday home?
Yes we allow commercial subletting.
What rights and obligations are there?
We’re members of BH&HPA (a trade association which ensures we reach a high standard) so all our holiday home owners have a formal, written Licence Agreement as recommended by them. The Licence Agreement sets out the obligations of both the holiday home owner and the park owner and includes the park rules. Please ask for a sample copy if you would like more details.
Will I need insurance?
Yes. All owners must be adequately covered by a suitable insurance policy that meets our criteria. You are free to choose your own insurance provider but will need to make a copy of the policy document available to us.
I'm interested so what do I do now?
We recommend that you come and have a look round the park before making any further plans, maybe talk to some other owners here and see if Franchis is the place for you. We currently have just 6 plots left so you could also decide which of these you'd like your lodge sited on. Just give us a call or email to arrange a visit. All of the manufacturers have websites where you can view the models available (see links below). Its a good idea to have a look at these and make a note of those which you like.
