E-Block Re-development

 

Phase 1 Starting September 2011 to complete by Easter 2012.

Each year we have redeveloped and improved various areas of the park, laying new roads and creating larger pitches. "E" block is more of a challenge and the first phase which has already started, will involve relocating some exisiting caravans before the creation of a level terrace, hlding 17 new bases with a new road and parking bays. The holiday homes will be served by an underground gas tank in lieu of bottles.

There will be landscaping to achieve the bases giving sea views and room for 6ft Sundecks on the front and 5ft down the side. Like C Block before we are looking at a minimum size of 38x12 but we will be able to take wider vans up to 13ft wide as the concrete bases will measure 45ft x 18ft. Holiday homes must be double glazed and central heated and prices will begin from around £35,000.00 upwards.

The terrace banks will be held firm with retaining walls and planting to make it look appealing.

We are already taking orders for this unique opportunity and if you are interested please get in touch by emailing sales@thornwickbay.co.uk

Click on the small images below for larger versions of them and an idea of what the development will look like. Of course our holiday homes will be Green and herringboned towards the sea.

Tourer Sales

Let our family look after yours...

"We are a family business - big enough to cope, small enough to care, with over 40 years of combined experience in the caravan industry. We value ourselves on the personal family approach and quality skilled workmanship. Our original goal was simple: we believed there was an opportunity to get closer to customers.

Over the last few years, we have sold, repaired and serviced more caravans than we ever expected. This is due to our personal family approach, value for money and quality skilled service. To capitalise on this, Peter Roberts has taken two significant steps.

Firstly, we have made an important commitment to the expansion of our Used Touring Caravan division with the development of a quality indoor showroom. We have also invested in a purpose built repair workshop division offering Insurance Approved Repairs.�

Our extensive selection of quality used touring caravans provide excellent value for money and always live upto expectations.

Each van is supplied by ourselves to the highest standard and comes fully serviced with a 12 month warranty (dependent on age). Finance is available. We also buy caravans for cash.

Peter & Andy Roberts
Directors

Repairs

Our expanding repairs division boasts a purpose built workshop with controlled heating environment.

All aspects of repair work is undertaken including service and insurance repairs.

No job is too big, or small. From helpful friendly advice, common faults, to full refits - we pride ourselves on giving a quality service and value for money.

Rare Opportunity 32x12 Plot

Located on

"The Haven" Caravan Park

15a High Street
Burniston
Scarborough
North Yorkshire
YO13 0HH

01723 871178

About the Park

Ideally located in the heart of the picturesque village of Burniston, at the gateway to the North Yorkshire Moors and yet only 3miles from Scarboroughs North Bay.

The Haven is a small 52 unit family run static caravan park for private owners only. There are no hire units, and commercial sub letting is not allowed.

All caravans are individually alarmed, and the entrance is controlled by a security barrier, accessed by a chipped fob.

All caravans are sited on 5meter wide concrete bases, and orientated so that all doors and the individual grassed areas face south, maximising the time that patrons can enjoy the English summers.

Each caravan is individually metered for electricity (32amp), and LPG gas, which is provided via an underground pipe network – no bottles to change. All provided for the customers convenience.

There is a well specified launderette on site, which is both centrally heated and double glazed.

We do not provide any other facilities on site, as we believe that patrons should be allowed to enjoy their time at The Haven in peace, and yet have easy access to local facilities, thus supporting the community where we are based.

Within 400 meters of the site entrance you will find 2 public houses and a well stocked local newsagents and post office. We are only 18miles from Whitby, 3miles from the North Bay of Scarborough, and 21miles from Pickering.

At times we have a select number of static caravans for sale, which have been hand picked by the manager, Andrew Backhouse, so you can be sure that each unit available is of the highest standards.

For more information, or to discuss your holiday home requirements, please contact Andrew directly on 01723 871178, or mobile 0778 9698771.

The Haven Caravan Park is open from the 1^st of March until the 4^th of January, and there are no restrictions on the length of time you may stay within that period.

Read our testimonials to see why you should choose ........ US

CHRIS & MARGI

"We always wanted to live in Spain and found the perfect place in Parque El Paraiso.  We were searching the web and came across a family run business professionally managed by the Jennings family. This was the luckiest find we could have had. Brice arranged for us to view the Park with Eduardo.  We fell in love with it at first sight - so peaceful with gorgeous orange and lemon trees, date palms and pomegranites in beautiful red flower.  We were given loads of information to help us make our decision but we never felt under any pressure to buy.  We were shown a range of British and Spanish homes and made our choice in our own time.  Our beautiful home is now on site, we have moved in and feel completely at home there.

Everything was so easy!  Brice, Christine, Kirsty and Nikki are great.  They alleviated all our worries and concerns and quickly responded to any queries we had.  Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them, from taking us to Prestige to design our home, to overseeing its transportation to Spain and everything in between.  Even now we are living in Spain, we know that they will be there for us if we need them - more friends than business colleagues.  Eduardo has also been a great help and is there if we need him - his English is impeccable, as are his manners.  Manuel. who owns and lives on the Park, is the perfect gentleman and together with his family made us so welcome.  We wonder how we would have coped without all these new friends and thank our lucky stars that we found them.

So to Brice, Christine, Kirsty and Nikki, to Manuel and his family, to Eduardo, and to Prestige for constructing our dream home,

MUCHAS GRACIAS Y HASTA PRONTO"

************

ALAN LEWIS AND FAMILY

"We were interested in purchasing a UK mobile home to site on the Costa del Sol and to use as a family holiday home.After some investigation and having spoken to Kirsty, we decided after an inspection visit to purchase an ABI Coniston and site it at Cabopino Park. Our inspection visit was at the end of November 2010 and we did not see Cabopino Park in its best light however we could see that it was the site for us! It has all the facilities on site we were looking for especially for the grandkids also with the beach close to hand and good accessible public  transport links.Brice, Christine, Kirsty and Nikki made the process straight forward dealing with ABI and all delivery and siting arrangements.
We did have some delivery problems with ABI however the team pulled out all the stops to ensure everything was ready for our first holiday in April.We are especially grateful to Nikki, Andy and his team who worked tirelessly with not much time to site the home and ensure the decking was complete. I would recommend this life to anyone and look forward to a long and happy relationship with them and hope we can all meet on the new decking for drinks in July!"
Alan Lewis and family

ROY & WENDY HAM

"When my wife and I decided to look into the idea of moving to Spain to live, we were lucky to find a family run company. We found their website very informative, and when we first met the family, (and i mean family, not a company) we knew our future plans were safe.After a few visiting sites in many areas of Spain, we chose to live at El Paraiso.
Brice made the viewing very low key, and at no time did we feel any pressure to buy.The next step was finding the right home, this was made easy for us, again with help and information from brice and his Family. They arranged visits ( with them) to Prestige Homes to view our parkhome, and helped with any query we had.The whole procedure from start to finish, was conducted in a professional and stress free manner.
We are now into our second month at El Paraiso, and enjoying every day with our new friends."
Love Roy and Wendy xxxxxx

************

Hi Brice & Family

Just like to say a big big thank you for your continuous help in my move to Spain. Brice & his family have not just helped in the buying and the sighting of my new home but was there when I need help due to my accident while travelling to Spain. It was like having an extended family.
As I'm a lady on her own you was there when I had any questions and worries.
El Paraiso is the best and Manuel, his family and his workmen have all been pleasant friendly and helpful and I know that in February when I move over permanently they will be there to help in anything if I have problem. I think the park is beautiful and it will be up to all of us to come together and make it a real friendly community. Manuel takes pride in what he does and it is up to us to continue in the same way.
Thank you again for showing me this little piece of Spain and please give my thanks to all your family for all they help and friendliness and knowing that I can call at anytime if I need help and advice.
Thanks and take care
Hilary�

TOM & LESLEY MOORE

WHO PURCHASED A WILLERBY RIO AT CABOPINO WINTER OF 2010

.

I had been looking to buy a park home in Spain for a couple of years and had spent a lot of time researching the different parks available. I settled on Cabopino because of the close proximity to a safe beach, the amenities on the park. Also, as I had been on holiday in the area many times I was familiar with the excellent restaurants and golf courses near to the park.
My wife and I love the all year round warm climate on the Costa Del Sol (we were sunbathing in early January!) and have met so many  friendly people on the park who made us feel welcome from day 1.
In the short time we have been 'residents' on Cabopino park I feel that I am an established 'home park boy' and with the help and friendship of Nikki I can foresee a long relationship with the park."

************

KEN & MARYLIN

"We were absolutely delighted the way the sale went through.  The viewing trip went really well. Nikki and your Dad were really nice and what really impressed us was there was no hard sell & pressure put on us and of course you were very efficient in organising things from the UK end. Your company is very professional.  Nothing was a problem.
We will continue to recommend you to our friends or anyone else who is considering making a purchase. Delighted with our sale.  Best move ever. Thanks to you all".

"We found Lin to be an extremely efficient and friendly member of your staff, nothing was too much trouble for her. She always went the extra mile and helped us so much with not only the sale, but also the extra local information,such as starting a bank account, registering with local authorities, health centre etc and everything to help us to settle in to our new life in Spain, even taking us to the local favorite shops and cheapest supermarket. Thank you for helping us settle so easily into our new life in Spain"
MR & MRS PEAK who bought a Mobile Home at LA VINA PARK

" The support from Lin & Wendy throughout the whole process was better than excellent. Viewing was arranged and carried out in a very professional and friendly way. At no time did we feel pressured.  Lin and Wendy answered all our questions and queries honestly, and provided excellent advise on the processes and procedures we would need to go through to buy the property and register as non domicile in Spain. We cannot fault the way we were treated and would not hesitate to recommend there services to our family and friends, or anyone that wanted to talk to us about our experience. Lin and Wendy continue to provide help and advise to us and am very pleased to be able to call them friends."
Dave who bought a home on La Vina in March 2010

"When I decided to buy a Mobile Home in Spain I was fortunate to come across the services provided by Brice and his family to help me. It took all of one day to find my home  with the help of the two ladies Wendy and Lin  who work for Brice out in Spain. From meeting myself and my Daughter at Malaga Airport to showing us around the different parks to introducing us both to the lovely Verna and Alan who run the B & B.
We were both very impressed with the professionalism of Wendy and Lin in as much, as well as showing us the Residential Parks, they also showed us around the local village of Mollina and the beautiful Ardale Lakes.
I would advise anyone thinking of buying a mobile home in Spain , to visit the Parks/area first , it truly is Paradise. Many thanks to Kirsty , Wendy and Lin , for all the care they gave us".
Irene Davies who bought a home at Antequera Park in August 2010

"All gone well so far still settling in, the girls were great and the b&b was superb Alan & Verna are terrific, very comfortable, glad I did not stay in Antequera, too far with no car.  Sale / transfer painless, all seems fine getting to know locals"
Mr Vincelli who bought a home at Antequera Park in August 2010

"We had a good idea of what we wanted. Niki dealt with us from start to finish and there were no problems at all. The after service is excellent Niki keeps in touch and gives very good advice with a smile."
Mr & Mrs Fearn who bought a home at Cabopino Feb 2010

"What a roller-coster! We planned to spend two days looking at the sites and then to view units available on our selected site. We were picked at the airport by kirsty and Nikki, after a very late fight, and taken to our accomadation where we we hosted by Verna and Alan (a truly superb B&B). After a leisurely breakfast we were collected by Wendy & Lin and shown round the sites. We only got as far as La VIna Park and fell in love with the place. A couple of hours later we had discovered our home in the sun, we couldn't get it off the market quick enough. By late afternoon of day two we were celebrating in the Red Lion.
What a fantastic two day voyage, cannot wait to pack and get back there. Thanks to everyone."
Mr & Mrs Kendrick who bought a home on La Vina August 2010

The Brice and the staff on site were attentive, informative and always relaxed in their sales technique. The purchase process was explained fully and assistance forthcoming at all stages. Necessary contacts with the Park administration were expertly and expeditiously handled. Financial transfers were facilitated as appropriate. After-purchase service has been exemplary and included shopping trips for household items needed and local acclimatisation  opportunities.
Personally, I can say that I not only bought a mobile home but also acquired good friends in the process!"
Mr Louden who purchaed a home at Cabopino Park

SPANISH BUYERS GUIDE

We will have already given you a very competitive price for your choice and we will then give you an approximate delivery time.
It is at this time we will ascertain if there are any additional options you may require.

Once a client is fully happy to continue we then ask for a 30% non refundable deposit and the balance being payable 10 clear working days before the home leaves the factory for its journey to Spain.

Before the home leaves the factory clients can view the home at the Manufacturers grounds.

WHAT WE DO NEXT:

You will kept fully informed at all stages prior to despatch.

A visit to the factory is arranged to inspect the home in order to identify any problems so that these can be rectified whilst in the UK

Arrange the transport and attend to all aspects relating to this aspect. The home is fully insured throughout its journey.

Be onsite in Spain for its arrival to check for any possible problems.

Then proceed to have the home sited onto the chosen plot. This siting procedure includes the installation of the services namely, Gas, Electrics and Water.

Within the home certain items will have been packed for safe transportation these will then be unpacked and put into place. Another check will be made to appliances etc and any problems reported and rectified as soon as possible.

The home will then be cleaned and prepared for you.

Upon arrival in Spain you will be met and taken to your new home. Run through all the operation procedures and also introduce you to the Reception of your chosen park.

We continually look at ways to improve and now we have introduced the completely free Platinum Service for buyers of New Mobile Homes.

This is initially provided on the parks in The Antequera Region, namely Humilladero Park, La Posada Park, La Vina Park and Saydo Park. It is the intention to develop this free service further and Cabopino Park will be the next to encompass this outstanding service.

Can we live there all year?
Yes

The gas is by gas bottle about £10 and this should last about a fortnight. Water and refuse collection is charged as per park details page.

Is it cheaper to live in Spain than in England?
Much, much cheaper.

Are any other English people living there?
Yes there are quite a large number of English people who live o­n the site and also English visitors who have their MOBILE HOMES as holiday, retreat or cheap retirement homes.

I cannot speak Spanish, how will I go o­n?
Most of the people in Spain, o­n the coast, in the service industries speak English so should not have many problems. Inland areas tend to have less English spoken but is still easy to get by. It does not take long before you pick up the language for those essentials.

Once we have agreed to buy a MOBILE HOME how long will it be before we can move in?
If you are buying a new MOBILE HOME or PARK HOME, the expected delivery date will be told to you at the time of purchase.
If you are buying a re-sale it can sometimes be arranged in literally a few days.

How long can our MOBILE HOME stay o­n the site in SPAIN.
As long as it is kept in good repair there is no time limit and obviously so long as your payments are made regularly and o­n time, the site owners will not want to loose good clients.

Will we be able to let out our MOBILE HOME?
Sites do vary o­n this topic and it is best to check this out prior to purchase. Some parks charge for visitors to your MOBILE HOME, however the aspect of letting out your home can still prove to be a profitable source of income towards your site costs.

Initially we will discuss your, requirements, needs, desires and expectations of your dream Residential Style Park and its location and then we design your inspection trip for YOU.

A great importance is attached to the Inspection Trip service as this gives the client the opportunity to see THE PARKS, THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT when buying a Mobile Home or Park Home abroad.

Sometimes clients arrive with a particular Make and Model in mind. This will have been previously discussed with ourselves and we then arrange to show them the Parks that are available to accommodate their particular home.

There are two levels of Inspection Trips, the difference being the accommodation and meals. The actual visit and level of service is identical.

HELP IS AT HAND TO CONFORM TO THE LEGALITIES FOR
LIVING IN SPAIN AND THIS CAN BE USUALLY ARRANGED THROUGH THE PARK RECEPTION HOWEVER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT IS ENTAILED WE GIVE DETAILS BELOW:

PENSION RIGHTS

HEALTHCARE
Before moving to Spain you should obtain the new European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
Application forms are available either at the Post Office, or at the UK
Department of Health Website.
A EHIC will cover you for emergency Healthcare treatment in Spain. It is really for tourists, but will ensure that you do not end up having to pay for treatment during your first few months in Spain. It will not cover you for most types of non-urgent treatment, such as, for o­ngoing conditions.
If you are planning to retire to Spain then you will be entitled to 2 years worth of healthcare, but see THE DEPARTMENT FOR WORKS AND PENSIONS for details.
With the forms you get from the DWP you still need to get register at the offices of the Spanish SEGURIDAD SOCIAL. This process can take some time.
There are many private healthcare schemes in Spain, but please check out what exactly is covered.
The Spanish Healthcare system is very good. Most hospitals are modern and well equipped and the doctors are excellent. The Spanish nurses are welltrained and efficient but do not always carry out personal care and feeding, as this sometimes falls o­n the family to do. However all hospitals allow o­ne companion to be with the patient 24 hours a day.

Many medicines that are prescription o­nly in the UK are available over the counter in chemists shops in Spain. If you are registered for free healthcare under Spanish social security, you can get medicines you need o­nprescription for a 60% discount, or for nothing if you are a pensioner.

BANKS
You will be dealing with Euros instead of pounds, but do not worry, o­ne soon becomes used to it. The Spanish Banks are simple to use and will accept credit/debit cards at their ATM's. There are British Banks like Barclays and Halifax etc to be found in some places, but the Spanish Banks are very helpful.

SPEAKING SPANISH
Many people in Spain manage without learning the language, but, you would experience a good inner feeling if you could speak some.
There are many opportunities to grasp the language, including classes or courses and it does not take long just to pick up the basics.

(see the Helpful Transulation Section)

TAKING YOUR CAR TO SPAIN
You can take your car to Spain from the UK, as long as you have owned it for at least 6 months prior to moving. You cannot sell , rent out, or transfer a car that has been imported tax free and duty free for 12 months o­nce in Spain. You must hand in your British registration documents to the DVLA and obtain a certificate of permanent export. The DVLA can advise you o­n this relatively simple process.
You will need a standardisation certificate (ficha reducida) which can be obtained from any licensed Spanish engineer.
The following taxes must be paid:
1) VAT (IVA) at 16% o­n a tax free car (on which VAT has not been paid) imported from the UK
2) Registration tax (impuesto sobre circulacion de vehiculos) at 12% o­n the vehicles current value (based o­n the original market price in Spain). However you do not need to pay this tax if you are to be a permanent resident in Spain and have imported a vehicle o­n which you have already paid the VAT. Non-residents, can bring their car from the UK to Spain without paying Spanish taxes, but you can o­nly drive the car in Spain for 6 months in any year -.which is the duration non-residents can remain in the country.
The car must be taxed in the country of registration. The paperwork for
importing a car is easier than it used to be, but many people still hire a
gestor to sort it out for them.

REGISTRATION
Whether you import a car into the country, or buy a car in Spain, you need to register it at the local provincial traffic department (Jefatura de Trafico de Malaga)
If you are a permanent resident in Spain, you must obtain Spanish registration plates o­nce you have imported the car. To do that you will need:-
1) Your residence card and photocopy
2) Current foreign driving license and photocopy
3) Registration number of your Spanish registered vehicle
4) o­ne passport photograph
5) 16.20€, payable at the traffic department. (as of Dec07)

DRIVING LICENCES
You are permitted to drive with a British or EU license in Spain for up to 6 months a year, as a non-resident. But you will need to take it to the local provincial traffic department to be stamped and registered.
If you intend to spend more than 6 months in Spain - and hence are a resident you will need to obtain a Spanish license, with form TASA2.3 from the local provincial traffic department.
You MUST under Spanish Law, carry your driving license with you at all times.

ROAD TAX
All Spanish - registered vehicles must pay road tax. The amount is set by local municipalities and based o­n the power of the car. It can vary from 20-200€ per year. Malaga is o­ne of the cheapest provinces to tax your car. You must pay your road tax between March and May. Contact your Local Town Hall for all the details.

NIE
Anyone who moves to Spain should apply for a NIE - a tax identification number, when they arrive. The relevant form can be obtained from the local Comisaria or Oficina de Extranjeros.
Your completed form must then be taken to the Oficiana de Extranjeros with a photocopy and two passport photos and a letter from the Park Owner of where you are living, stating that you live there. The Oficiana de Extranjeros will then give you a date as to when to pick up your NIE.

RESIDENCE CARDS
If you plan o­n retiring to Spain to live in a Mobile or Park Home you will need a Residence Card and you will need proof of a private health insurance scheme valid in Spain or the right to Spanish public healthcare treatment.
WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A RESIDENCE CARD:-
EU Nationals need:-
1) 3 Passport photos
2) A valid passport and a photocopy
3) A completed application form 037 for EU citizens from your local foreigners office (officiana de Etranjeros)

THE BENEFITS OF MOVING TO SPAIN:

FOOD
Running a home is much cheaper than in the UK
The British people are shocked at the lower cost of living.
The main essentials of food, drink, cigarettes, heating and clothing are
cheaper in Spain. There is a very good selection of supermarkets, even
supplying English items. The Spanish equivalent products can be just as
good but cheaper. Fresh fish, fruit and vegetables are superior and much
cheaper. Meat prices are generally, slightly cheaper and poultry is very
cheap.

EATING OUT
Eating out is very cheap. All types of cuisine are catered for, especially in the tourist parts and cities. Hygiene standards are generally good. People are often asked to be aware of eating seafood from the quieter restaurants and not to over indulge o­n the excellent inexpensive wines.
Do try the Spanish bars and Tapas as most of these are excellent.

ENTERTAINMENT
After you have spent a period of relaxation and you have recharged your
batteries you may feel that you want to do a little more than sunbathing,
playing golf o­n o­ne of the numerous golf courses, sightseeing walking etc. etc,
well there are numerous activities you can embark o­n.
The areas can be like mini England in terms of expat club activities and can
range from bowls to tennis, cards to lonely hearts and dancing to sailing clubs
and the list goes o­n and o­n.

CLIMATE
Spain has the best climate in Europe and as many Brits have realised, that it
should not be just enjoyed for 2 weeks a year and with that in mind have taken the plunge and bought a home.
A relaxed lifestyle, a fantastic climate, and a lower cost of living, are
probably the three top reasons why so many are choosing to buy a place in
Spain. It is o­nly 2-3 hours flight to the UK with all cheap operators
flying to numerous UK airports.

Due to the enormous size and geographical spread of Spain ranging from huge mountainous regions to desert and coastal resorts, it is not surprising that
there are large fluctuations in the weather. Within an hour’s journey o­ne
can leave the snow bound ski resorts outside Granada, to be sun bathing o­n the beaches of the Costa del Sol.
As most of the UK expats tend to head to the warmer Southern regions, it is
here where we will concentrate our details.
Winters:
Much warmer than the UK averaging around 16c daytime and 7c at night.
Inland areas can vary o­n these figures. All areas are subject to short
but spectacular winter storms with heavy rainfall. The ground never stays
boggy and soon dries up. Temperatures o­n the Costa del Sol regularly
reach the mid twenties. Much of the plant & tree life remain in full
bloom. Sun rises around 8am and sets around 6.30pm giving longer sunlight
than in the UK.
Spring:
The o­nset of Spring brings a warmer more settled spell, with temperatures
averaging in the mid 20's. Many expats say this is the very best time of year - not too hot or cold.
Summer:
Come June the weather is very settled and becoming very hot. Mid summer
temperatures can top 40c and still be in the high 20's at night, although air
conditioning overcomes this problem. It is advisable to drink lots of
water to prevent dehydration.
Autumn:
Very similar to Spring but a little hotter. Swimming pools and the sea
tend to be very pleasant and provide relief from the temperature.

GOLF ON THE COSTA

 

Golf on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol has not been named the Costa del Golf without good reason, it is simply a golfers paradise, there are some 72 golf courses in Andalucia , of which 45 are situated along the Costa del Sol , four of those are ranked in the top 10 in Europe, add to that a fantastic all year round climate and you are most definitely in golfing heaven !!.

This concentration of quality courses along with an excellent warm and sunny climate has proven to be a must golfing winter destination to many thousands of northern Europeans each year.

Valderama was chosen for the Ryder cup in 1997 which ironically was almost washed out due to the heavy rains, however even the unusually wet weather couldn't dampen the atmosphere during those momentous days for the European team. And in 2007 the Valderrama Golf Club celebrated in style as the Volvo Masters commemorated its 20th anniversary, the longest-running single sponsorship in European golf.

Due largely to the success of the Ryder Cup, golf was taken to new levels on the Costa del Sol as it gained universal recognition and along with it came more quality courses which have been constructed to supply the ever increasing demand for Golf in southern Spain.
