Yorkshire is the heart of the British mobile home manufacturing industry — the largest British manufacturers (Willerby, ABI, Atlas, Carnaby, Victory) are based in Hull and East Yorkshire. This makes Yorkshire the best place to buy new mobile homes directly from the factory at competitive prices. Beyond industry, Yorkshire offers the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the coast of Scarborough/Whitby, and the North York Moors, with hundreds of caravan parks. Green Village buys units directly from Yorkshire manufacturers for export across Europe.
Regulations
In the UK, mobile homes are regulated by the Caravan Sites Act 1960 and the Mobile Homes Act 2013. BS 3632 defines the construction standards for permanent residential use. Yorkshire has one of the highest concentrations of licensed caravan parks in England. For export, units are VAT-exempt (20%). Units have EU customs duty already included in the final price.
Transport
Yorkshire is ideal for export, with efficient access reducing costs to the whole of Europe. Green Village coordinates the entire logistics chain from the factory; transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price.
Pricing
Buying in Yorkshire means direct access to factory prices. New mobile homes from 25,000 pounds ex-works; used from £6,450. Exports are VAT-exempt (20%), making prices even more competitive. Green Village negotiates volume discounts with local manufacturers.
Installation
Installation takes place in the destination country (Portugal, Spain, France, Netherlands, etc.). Yorkshire units are built to BS 3632 with galvanised chassis, robust insulation, and double glazing — suitable for any European climate. Electrical adaptation from 240V to 230V may be required for the continent.
