A Static Caravan or Mobile Home is a great way to live in Benidorm or holiday on the Costa Blanca without the complications of purchasing a residential property.
We find that our clients enjoy the freedom of owning their own home in the sun or as it allows them to come and go as they please. What’s more is that unlike most other campsites in Spain we don’t restrict use to just the owners. We understand that buying a mobile home is a long term financial commitment and you’ll more than likely want your family to be able to use it.
To help with your decision, we compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions:
Residential Mobile Home or Holiday Home?
Choosing between the 2 options decides on how you plan on using it but it shouldn’t necessarily be a deal breaker. We’ll explain why:
Residential Mobile Homes
Although you’ll find that Residential Mobile Homes are built superior to a Mobile Home in terms of insulation and material, a lot of this is aimed at the UK market. Obviously, Spain has milder winters and a drier climate so you won’t necessarily need these added benefits.
Most Residential Mobile Homes come with central heating installed, double glazing, underfloor insulation and residential appliances, whereas a holiday home may not come with any of the above. The compromise is price as you can expect to pay significantly more for a residential unit by comparison to a holiday unit.
Holiday Homes
Mobile Holiday Homes or Static Caravans as we most commonly refer to them as provide an affordable option for both living in and using for holiday. They don’t always come with the bells and whistles you’ll find on a residential home but they’re more than adequate for permanent or semi permanent use and they cope well in the Spanish weather.
Depending on the age of the home you may not get all of the comforts you’d like but if you’re looking at newer Willerby, Swift or ABi model you’ll find that these come with things such as central heating and double glazing as standard.
A Mobile Home for holiday use will cost significantly less than a residential unit and expect to pay upwards of £25,000 based on current market values.
New or Resale?
We have both new and Resale Mobile Homes for sale on site and the choice is yours. You won’t find another campsite on the Costa Blanca with as much choice from brands such as Willerby, Pemberton, Swift and many more UK Mobile Home Manufacturers. We also have a selection of Spanish manufactured Mobile Homes and Park Homes from brands such as Aitana and Alucasa.
Deciding on a new or Resale Mobile Home really comes down to budget and what is an affordable option for you. Our prices are competitive against any other sales company on the Costa Blanca and for Comparison, a Resale Mobile Home starts at as little as £25,000 whereas a New Mobile Home starts at £48,000.
That said, our sales market moves quick (with an average turnaround of just 2 weeks!). So, to ensure you don’t miss out, join our notification service and we’ll let you know as soon as something becomes available.
Annual site fees
We have a range of plot sizes and prices so it all depends on the mobile home and where it’s sited on the Campsite. That said, we have some of the smaller mobile homes sited on plots at just 3,000€, whereas the large and double units can go up to 8,000€ per year.
How much does it cost to live on Camping Almafra?
Living on a campsite in Spain is an affordable way of living. Aside from the annual site fees you’ll pay for gas by the bottle (approx 20€ per month), electricity by the meter (approx 40€ per month) and caravan insurance (approx €170 for the year). Water is supplied free of charge and basic UK TV channels are supplied directly to your internal aerial as part of the annual site fees.
Can I live on Camping Almafra all year?
Yes. Camping Almafra is open 365 days per year so you’re free to use it as you want. That said, if you plan on spending more than 90 days every 180 you will need to become a Spanish resident and apply for Residencia.
Unlike some of the other campsites in Spain we allow you to use the Campsite address to allow you to enroll for the Padron (the Spanish equivalent of the British electoral role). This is needed as part of the Residencia application process.
How do I buy a Mobile Home or Caravan for sale on Camping Almafra?
Buying a caravan or mobile home is a really simple process and we’ll guide you every step of the way. We do all of the paperwork, arrange payments and have professionals on hand to help with things like Residencia applications, translator services, registering for the doctors etc.
