Selling a Regal Static Caravan: Value and Seller Guide

Selling a Regal static caravan or lodge? Start by working out which Regal you have. The name has had two distinct lives in Dorset: Regal Holiday Homes in Wareham from 2009 to 2020, and Regal Leisure Homes as part of Omar Group from 2021. A caravan from one era can be a very different proposition from the other, in age, specification and price.

As Static Caravan Buyer, we buy statics and lodges across the UK. This guide answers the questions sellers ask first, explains how to tell the two Regal eras apart, and covers what buyers check and how a cash offer is worked out. It is a practical seller's guide, not a quote for any one caravan, and your own licence agreement is what applies to you.

Selling a Regal: quick answers

• Can I sell my Regal? Yes. Both Wareham-era and Omar-era Regals are bought and sold on the used market.
• What is it worth? That depends on which era it comes from, the model, year, size, width and condition, and whether it stays on the pitch. A free valuation gives you a real figure.
• Can it stay on the park? Your park decides, under your licence agreement. Newer Omar-era Regals usually can if there is licence time left; older Wareham builds may meet an age policy. See park age limits.
• Will the park charge commission? Many parks charge commission on a sale where the caravan stays on the pitch, at a rate in your agreement. Whether anything applies when it leaves the park depends on your agreement, so ask in writing.
• Can a trader collect it? Usually, yes, within the park's rules on hauliers and disconnection. Wider units and lodges need more planning; see our twin unit collection guide.
• What if it is old? An older Wareham-era Regal that cannot stay on its park may still have value off-site or through export to Europe.
• What fees and removal costs apply? Typically outstanding pitch fees, a park disconnection charge if the park makes one, transport, and possibly crane hire for wide units.

Which Regal do you have? Two companies, one name

Regal Holiday Homes, Wareham (2009 to 2020)

Regal Holiday Homes Limited was incorporated in June 2009. It was set up by a team led by Nigel Heslington, who had previously been managing director of BK Bluebird in Poole. The new business built holiday homes at Sandford Farm near Wareham in Dorset, and the Bournemouth Echo later described it as the only caravan holiday home manufacturer in the south of England.

Regal built a reputation for stylish, premium holiday homes. Its first models were reviewed from 2011 onwards, and several were 14ft wide, which was generous for a single static at the time.

In August 2020, during the pandemic, Regal Holiday Homes Limited went into administration. The company was eventually dissolved in May 2024.

Regal Leisure Homes, part of Omar Group (2021 onwards)

Omar Group, the long-established park home and lodge maker, had agreed a deal for Regal at the start of 2020, and acquired certain assets and all of the intellectual property that year. Production restarted on 26 July 2021 at a new factory at Three Legged Cross, near Ringwood. The business now trades as Regal Leisure Homes, still led by Nigel Heslington as managing director.

Omar said at the relaunch that some historic model names would be kept, but that the new models were effectively brand new. Since 2023, several Regal models have been built to the BS 3632 residential specification. If you are interested in how Omar's own lodges sell, our guide to Pemberton and Omar lodge values is a useful companion read.

Regal model names by era

These names come from trade reviews, Omar's own history page and Regal's website. Years show when each model appeared in those sources rather than full production runs.

Regal Holiday Homes era (Wareham)

• 2011 to 2014: Symphony (a 14ft-wide model reviewed in 2011), Autograph (the Mk 3 was reviewed in 2012, followed by a Mk 4), Heritage and Regency (both new for 2014).
• 2015 to 2017: Sandringham (2015), Connaught, Kingston and the Hamilton Lodge (2016), Somerton and Harlington (2017).
• 2018 to 2020: Artisan Lodge and Kingsbury (2018), Hemsworth (2019), Hartland Lodge and Seascape Premier (2020).

Regal Leisure Homes era (Three Legged Cross)

• 2021 relaunch: Charmouth and Baywater were launched, while the Hartland Lodge, Artisan Lodge and Hemsworth names were kept from the original range with new designs.
• 2022: Cranleigh Lodge and Retreat.
• 2024: Clifton Lodge, plus new versions of the Autograph and Harlington.
• 2025 and 2026: the Harlington Lodge (a twin unit) and Henley, followed by the Vista, a one-bedroom pod.

Because some names were reused, a "Regal Hemsworth" or "Regal Autograph" could come from either era. Your manufacturer's plate and purchase paperwork will show the year, and buyers will want to know it.

What buyers check on a used Regal

Which era it comes from

A pre-2020 Regal was built by Regal Holiday Homes Limited, which no longer exists. Any manufacturer warranty would have been with that company. A Regal built from 2021 comes from Regal Leisure Homes under Omar. It is worth knowing which you have before a buyer asks.

Chassis

Several Wareham-era models came on a painted steel chassis, with galvanised options. The 2016 Kingston, for example, was reviewed on a black painted chassis with optional fully galvanised and pre-galvanised upgrades, and a galvanised chassis was optional on the 2019 Hemsworth. On coastal parks, buyers will check underneath for rust.

Cladding

Regal has used a wide mix of finishes, from aluminium on models like the Regency and Hemsworth to vinyl, Celutex and feature wood-finish cladding on others. Check for faded panels, dents and damaged feature boards, which can be harder to match.

Glazing, heating and build standard

On some earlier models, double glazing and central heating were options rather than standard. Most Wareham-era models were built to the EN 1647 holiday standard, while several newer Regal Leisure Homes models are BS 3632. Make sure your description says which applies to yours.

How we value a Regal

A cash buyer looks at what your Regal is worth once it leaves the pitch. That means starting from realistic resale demand for its size, age and condition, then allowing for collection, transport, any repairs and the time needed to rehome it.

A cash figure will usually sit below a park's retail price for a similar caravan, but there are no viewings, no waiting and no chasing the park for approval. We help with the park paperwork, and payment is made on collection day before the caravan is loaded.

Other things that move the price

Age

A Regal from 2011 and one from 2023 are very different propositions, even if they share a name. Older units face park age policies, and a caravan close to its park's limit will attract fewer private buyers on that pitch. Our guides to park age limits and depreciation explain more.

Condition and damp

Premium interiors show wear quickly. Marked feature walls, chipped kitchen doors and tired upholstery all reduce the appeal. Damp around French doors, windows and roof edges is the main concern for buyers. Our article on how condition changes your offer price gives more detail.

Park rules

Your licence agreement decides whether you can sell on the pitch, what the park charges and whether the caravan must leave. Check before you set a price or advertise.

Haulage and width

Width matters when a caravan leaves the park. Regal builds 12ft, 13ft and 14ft-wide single homes, and the wider ones need more planning and cost more to move. Lodges and twin units such as the Harlington Lodge are a bigger job again. If you own a twin, our guide to twin unit values and collection is worth reading.

How Regal is seen in the used market

Regal has always positioned itself at the premium end of the holiday home market. Trade reviewers have described its models as stylish, Omar spoke of the original business's quality and design flair, and described Regal as having become one of the industry's leading names. Wide bodies, French doors, feature cladding and hotel-style interiors are common themes.

That premium image can help a used Regal stand out on a park. Buyers often like the extra width and the design touches. As always, though, the condition of your caravan and the rules of your park matter more than the badge.

Getting your Regal ready to sell

1. Find the plate and confirm the model, year and size.
2. Check your paperwork to see which Regal company built it.
3. Deep clean inside and out, paying attention to feature cladding.
4. Check for damp around French doors, windows and roof edges.
5. List the extras, such as double glazing, central heating, a galvanised chassis or BS 3632 build.
6. Take daylight photos of every room and all four sides.
7. Talk to your park about selling routes and removal rules.

Regal FAQs

Is Regal still trading? Yes, as Regal Leisure Homes, part of Omar Group, building in Dorset. The original Regal Holiday Homes Limited went into administration in 2020.

Is a Regal the same as a BK Bluebird? No. Regal was founded in 2009 by a team led by a former BK Bluebird managing director, but it was a separate company.

Are Regal caravans worth more than other brands? Not automatically. Regal's premium image can help, but age, condition, size and park rules matter more.

Do you buy Regal lodges and twin units? Yes. We buy statics, lodges and twin units across the UK.
