This is beyond insane. This is just absolutely nuts. There was one last year for half this price, which was obscene.
Go on, think of a number them multiply it by 10

The 3 photographs really show the charm and attention to detail..and it's only one of the most sought after locations. Imagine how much one in a sort after location might go for.
A million quid for a temporay buiding on a rented bit of ground. I have stayed at that park quite often and you can rent in high season for about 1000 quid a week ( I reckon that is a misprice)

Wut? Half a million for some shonky mobile home with a sex pond?
Yup Falkirk has it they go for less than half that. Still cheaper than a shit hole of bed sit in London.

Why would you buy that and not a house? Am I missing something?

Water skiing from your front door? Oh wait....
Lets not even get on to Beach Huts shall we?

You'd think so, but £900k for a bungalow up the hill a bit!

"According to property website Zoopla, £280,000 would buy a four-bedroom detached house in Tittensor, Stoke-on-Trent, a one-bedroom flat in Croydon"
To be fair it's probably bigger than a 1bed flat in a lot of london!
Why would you buy that and not a house? Am I missing something?
Depending on this and that you can only live in them for 11 months of the year (or some such).
Unless you got a compliant doctor and they give you a bit of paper that means you can live there all year round.
It remains conjecture how many people inform other institutions that they have been given this piece of paper and what is written on it (insurance companies, banks, employers, dvla)...
I like the idea of prefab houses. I'd much prefer a house made in Germany by Japanese robots to a British house "lovingly crafted" by "skilled craftsmen" in a "time honoured tradition".
Its all the extra fees that get me. That beach hut is an extra £4k a year in fees. That'll rent you something pretty decent without having to buy it first. These cabins tend to have similar fees. They are usually sold leasehold with pretty short leases too. We did actually look at a few, most expensive was £75k but that was freehold with no fess, great biking from the door, too.
Something up with that listing. There are others for sale on the site for £500k which is still a lot of money.
My wife's family imported a prefab house (like the one in the OPs post) from Sweden and had it built on a land plot in Spain. Total cost for the build including land was £40,000.
The house is lovely. You could easily live in it all year round.
I know the UK has a higher population density / less land to build on so probably isn't an option back home.

/blockquote>I can understand the pricing of that...it's in a better position, built to last, bigger (much) and at least you can actually live in it full time.
I guess, if you've got a million quid to drop on a holiday home near Windemere, it might as well be on an estate with loads of other people who have a million quid to drop on a holiday home.
Personally, I'd prefer not to have my holiday home* crammed in like chalets in CentreParcs.
*I live in London, I can't afford such a thing.
Edit: Does seem a high premium for Windemere location - this one in Sussex is £350k :O

I'd guess that either the estate agent has either mistyped the price, is trying it on due to fears of no foreign holidays this year or the owner doesn't really want to sell. I'd go with the 3rd option of the husband/wife has told their partner to flog it but the other half doesn't want to sell so has told the estate agent to put a silly price on it. "It's up for sale but there's no interest darling, we'll just have to wait a few years until the market picks up!" will be a phrase they'll have waiting I'd guess.
I have stayed at that park quite often and you can rent in high season for about 1000 quid a week
What do you think they'd be charging this year and next - filthy diseased UK tourists aren't going be be very welcome abroad so desirable staycation options that aren't shared facilities (like hotels and B&Bs) are going to be in high demand I'd guess
We've noticed that house prices in anywhere remotely near countryside have rocketed.
A 3 bed detached (no en-suite or big garden) is up for £600,000 odd. this time last year it would be nearer to £500,000. It does have views which are stunning. But still a ridiculous price.

There are some far cheaper than that looking at Rightmove.
There is if only someone had proved links. 🙋🏻♂️

There are fairly new houses in Chippenham for those sort of prices, nothing special, not much of a garden ‘cos the developers want to cram as many houses into the site as possible. Maybe four bedrooms, £4-500,000 isn’t unusual. My 3-bed former council semi, with half the garden of the house next door is worn roughly £200k.
Chippenham is right on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, with a main line railway, the M4 about 3 miles north, and the A4, A420 and A350 all meeting in the town, so it’s an ideal commuter town.
Here’s a range of what’s available at the moment:

Just throw a circle around the caravan site.
We shared a family caravan for a few years in Abersoch on the Llyn peninsula. It was an old 4 berth tourer that we shared the costs for keeping on a quiet site with no facilities other than a shower block.
We spent a few summers there. A mile along the coast was the "warrens" site. Luxury lodges like the above, 00's of 000's to buy, huge annual fees and you had to replace your van at set times (cant remember how many years now)
The place was generally full of Hooray Henrys and huge amounts of money not to mention their nosiy, spoiled and entitled offsprings flashin their wealth around.
I wonder what type of person this price attracts.
My holiday home was two grand AND I can move it around wherever I want! Much better.
I guess that's it...its not the chalet or location that drives the price its the exclusivity, and ensuring he family holiday isn't spoiled by 'the wrong sort of people'. Not for me though, I'm sure I could find plenty of places to enjoy a family holiday with other reasonable holiday makers for a lot less.
Same here molgrips😀
If only I could get to it.
I wonder what type of person this price attracts.
Based on my limited experience of Abersoch, it would appear the answer to that is 'people with jetskis' and 'people who wear red trousers with stripey blazers, with much younger wives, and have boats that can drive up the beach'.
‘people who wear red trousers with stripey blazers, with much younger wives, and have boats that can drive up the beach’.
Henley, circa 10pm during Regatta week?
Although mostly they could be better described as ‘people who want to appear like the kind of person wear red trousers with stripey blazers, with much younger wives, and have boats that can drive up the beach but actually drinks stella rather than fosters for the weekend and vomits on the bridge'
You could repaint an aircraft for that money.
I'm considering a residential caravan at Lochgoilhead for a thirtieth of that! Scenery every bit as purty (Arrochar Alps & Cowal) and it's got walking, fishing and biking galore. Biggest reservation is that combined annual fees, rates, insurance, gas and leccy add up to nearly £5k per annum. Mrs won't entertain the idea of a campervan but is warming to the idea of a bolthole an hour from the house. If I had a million squid, I'd not even consider blowing it on a posh hut, that's beyond mental.
Feels a lot happier about the price and fees of our caravan in the Lakes. And that it’s not in bloody Windermere.
Yup slight mistyped original listing has gone.
White Cross Bay Holiday Park & Marina, Ambleside Road, Windermere, LA23 1LF
