FAQ: Can I run a business from my holiday home?

No, unfortunately we are a holiday park, not a residential park. Your holiday home at Merley House must not be used as a permanent residence or primary address.

You are more than welcome to add external storage to your property, as long as it sits within your boundary and is maintained to a high standard. You are limited to 1 shed or 2 storage boxes per holiday home or lodge.

Of course, you are more than welcome to sell your holiday home at any point during your Licence Agreement term. You can either sell it independently or through us. We charge a commission when you sell your holiday home.

Yes, having appropriate holiday home insurance is a condition of our Site Licence Agreement. You can purchase insurance through us or via a third party, independent broker.

We require an up-to-date copy of your insurance certificate every year.

No, you own you own your holiday home, but not the land it is on. You rent this from the park via a Licence Agreement, the terms of which you agree to at the time of purchase.

Yes, many of our existing holiday home and lodge owners have had Sky TV installed in their property.

The process of buying a holiday home is relatively simple in comparison to buying a bricks and mortar property.

1. Visit Merley House Holiday Park for a tour – we will show you our available holiday homes and pitches
2. If you select a home that is already on park, you will need to pay a deposit, provide proof of address, ID and a copy of your holiday home insurance. If everything is in order you can move into your home straight away, after settling the outstanding balance. It usually takes around 2 weeks to complete this process.
3. If you would like to order a specific home direct from the manufacturer you will first need to select your pitch. We will then sit with you to help you look though available options and select a home that meets your needs. Lead times vary depending on manufacturers.

The TV licence at your primary address covers usage in your holiday home.

We have a selection of holiday homes, lodges and chalets for sale at Merley House Holiday Park in Wimborne. All of our homes come from leading manufacturers with excellent warranties (applicable to new-homes only).

We will work with you to help you find the perfect holiday home to suit your needs.

You are welcome to visit your holiday home at your leisure throughout the season. It cannot be your permanent residence – proof of address is needed at the time of purchase. We usually ask for a utility bill and photo ID.
