Further down: what Haven states on its own website, the side-by-side comparison and the source of every fact.
Haven sells static caravans and lodges to own as holiday homes on its holiday parks in the UK; the sales are made by Haven Leisure Ltd, registered in England. This article sets out what the company declares on its public website and puts it beside what Green Village offers, so that you can choose by objective, verifiable information.
What Haven states on its site
According to its caravans-for-sale pages, Haven offers new caravans, used caravans and lodges for sale. A caravan bought at Haven is sited on one of its 39 holiday parks, and many of its Haven Approved used caravans are already sited on a specific pitch. The site states that the park cannot be used as a permanent residence.
Its buyers' guide explains that site fees are the annual charge for keeping a holiday home on the park; they cover use of the pitch and a range of services and facilities provided on the park, and are payable annually before the start of each season. Running costs such as gas, electricity and water beyond standard allowances, and insurance, are not included and remain the responsibility of the holiday homeowner. The same page mentions letting a holiday home with Haven for 15 weeks each season.
