A Family’s Holiday Escape

A Dream of Family Memories

The Thompson family, a young couple with two children, dreamed of owning a holiday home where they could create lasting memories. For Mr Thompson, it was about more than just a getaway—he fondly remembered summers in his family’s caravan and wanted his children to experience the same joy.

Finding the Perfect Lodge

Their search led them to a £40,000 pre-owned lodge listed privately on Rightmove. Located at a charming, family-run holiday park near the Yorkshire Dales, it offered stunning walking trails, cycling routes, and plenty of family activities. A 12-month licence meant they could enjoy the lodge year-round, including cosy winter escapes. However, hire purchase (HP) wasn’t an option for this private purchase, so they needed another way to fund their dream.

Making the Purchase Possible

With limited savings, the Thompsons chose to finance the entire cost of the lodge through a secured loan. By spreading repayments over 15 years, they kept monthly payments affordable, enabling them to buy directly from the private seller.

A New Family Tradition

Now, the lodge is at the heart of the Thompsons’ family life. They spend weekends and school holidays exploring the countryside, cycling together, and relaxing in their cosy retreat. It’s more than just a holiday home—it’s a place for creating cherished family memories that will last a lifetime.
