Family loses £65,000 on caravan sale in Lincolnshire
Original source: Magzter

A family from Ruddington bought a caravan for £87,000 at Tattershall Lakes in Lincolnshire in July 2024. When they tried to sell it back to park operator Away Resorts in January 2026, they were offered £22,000 — the amount still owed on finance. A private sale would have incurred additional costs of around £7,000 for release fees and an electricity bill, while site fees of £500 per month continued throughout the process.
