How much does a mobile home cost? New and used prices
A mobile home typically costs between €15.000 and €120.000 — a huge range that depends on the type, the size, whether it is new or used, and the country of origin. A good-condition used static caravan of British origin is the entry point; a new, bespoke lodge or park home sits at the top.
This guide separates the price of the UNIT (what it is about) from the costs of getting it to you — transport, import VAT and installation, which add to the final figure and which we detail in the guides linked at the end. The focus here: how much the home itself costs, what pushes the price up or down, and how much you save by choosing used.
Price ranges by type (indicative)
Indicative figures for the unit only (excluding transport/VAT/installation), to give an order of magnitude:
| Type / condition | Indicative unit price |
|---|---|
| Used static caravan (UK, good condition) | ≈ €15.000–€30.000 |
| New entry-level mobile home | ≈ €30.000–€50.000 |
| Premium lodge / park home / chalet | ≈ €60.000–€100.000+ |
| Bespoke / top of the range | €100.000–€120.000+ |
What pushes the price up or down
The price of a mobile home is driven mainly by:
- New vs used — a used unit typically costs 40–60% of the price of an equivalent new one.
- Size — a twin unit (wider, in two halves) costs more than a single.
- Finish and type — a premium lodge/park home (timber, better insulation) is worth far more than a leisure static caravan.
- Age and condition — year of manufacture, wear, insulation and certifications.
- Brand — British manufacturers such as Willerby, ABI, Swift or Atlas occupy distinct price positions.
- Extras — solar panels, timber decking, central heating, furniture included.
New vs used: how much you save
A new mobile home comes with a factory warranty (typically 2 years, and ~10 years on the structure), current finishes and zero wear — it is more expensive, but with fewer surprises. A used one costs 40–60% of the value of a new unit and is available immediately.
Green Village carries out a technical inspection on every used unit and provides a condition report with photographs, so the saving does not come with hidden risk. If budget is the priority, a well-inspected British used unit is the best value on the market.
Costs beyond the unit price
The price of the home is not the final cost. Always add:
- Transport — sea RoRo or road; it varies by route (see the transport cost guide).
- Import VAT — at the destination country's rate (PT 23%, ES 21%, FR 20%) when the unit comes from outside the EU (e.g. the UK post-Brexit, with 0% customs duty but VAT due).
- Installation — preparing the base/plot, levelling, water/electricity/drainage connections and, if needed, a crane.
- Documentation and permits — customs support (EUR1/CMR/DAU) and any municipal installation permits.
In summary
- Typical unit price: €15.000 (used static caravan) to €120.000+ (premium lodge/park home).
- A used unit typically costs 40–60% of the price of an equivalent new one.
- Twin > single; premium (lodge/park home) > leisure static caravan.
- To the unit price, add transport + import VAT + installation.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a used mobile home cost?
A good-condition used static caravan / mobile home of British origin typically sits between €15.000 and €30.000 — around 40–60% of the price of an equivalent new one. The exact figure depends on age, size, brand and condition, and does not include transport, import VAT or installation.
How much does a new mobile home cost?
A new entry-level mobile home is typically between €30.000 and €50.000; premium models (lodges, park homes) or bespoke units exceed €60.000–€100.000. New units come with a factory warranty (around 2 years) and current finishes.
Why do prices vary so much?
Because "mobile home" spans everything from a used leisure static caravan to a residential park home or a premium lodge. The type, the size (single vs twin), the condition (new vs used), the brand and the extras make the price range from €15.000 to over €120.000.
Does the price include transport and installation?
No. The price quoted is for the unit. Transport (RoRo or road), import VAT (at the destination country's rate) and installation (base, levelling, connections) are additional costs. Green Village handles the entire process and provides a total figure by quote.
