Selling a Victory Static Caravan: Value and Seller Guide

Selling a Victory static caravan or lodge? Victory Leisure Homes has only been building since 2009, so most Victorys on UK parks are relatively young, and that usually works in a seller's favour. The questions that decide your figure are still the same as for any static: the model and year, the condition, and whether it can stay on its pitch.

As Static Caravan Buyer, we buy statics and lodges across the UK. This guide answers the questions owners ask first, then helps you pin down exactly which Victory you have (some model names were first used by Cosalt), what buyers check, and how the brand is seen. It is a seller's guide, not a brochure or a quote, and your own licence agreement is what applies to you.

Selling a Victory: quick answers

• Can I sell my Victory? Yes. Victory is a well-known Hull builder and there is steady demand for used Victory statics and lodges.
• What is it worth? Mostly down to model, year, size, specification and condition, and whether it stays on the pitch. A free valuation gives you a real figure, and our guide to how static caravans depreciate explains why age matters.
• Can it stay on the park? Your park decides, under your licence agreement. Younger Victorys often can if there is time left on the licence. 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. Our comparison of cash buyer, private sale and park sale sets out the trade-offs.
• What if it is old? Older Victorys from the early 2010s that cannot stay on a park may still have value off-site or through export to Europe.
• What fees and removal costs apply? Typically any outstanding pitch fees, a park disconnection charge if the park makes one, and transport, plus crane hire for some lodges.

Which Victory do you have? Model names and the Cosalt link

Victory has launched a lot of models in a short time. The names below are ones we could confirm in trade reviews, Victory's own website or used sale listings. Years show when each model appeared in those sources rather than exact production runs.

• 2009 to 2014: Ventura (the first model, 2009), the Versailles lodge (reviewed several times from 2010), Woodland Vue (2012) and Vermont Vue (2014), plus the Saffron and four-bedroom Evron lodges (2012), the Avalon lodge (2013) and the 42ft x 20ft Provence lodge (2014).
• 2015 to 2019: Capri (2015), Grovewood and the Strathmore and Parkview lodges (2016), Sandhurst CL and Torino Super (2017), Belmor and Millfield (2018), Westpark, the Cezanne lodge and the Rimini (2019).
• 2020 onwards: Lakewood Lodge, Riverwood and Beckwood (2021), the Faraday lodge (2022), Baywood and Stonewood (used examples from 2021 and 2022), Bower and the Franklin lodge (2023), Kahlo, Brontë and Lochwood (2024), the Liberte and Highcroft lodges and the Davenport (2025), and Silverwood, Ripley, Verve and the four-bedroom Harraway (2026).

Victory's current website also lists the Arlington, Ashberry and Lumiere, with the Cotswold and a refreshed Lakewood announced for 2027.

The Cosalt connection

Some Victory names echo the past. When Victory launched the Rimini in 2019, the company said the name came from a popular Cosalt model built in Hull, brought back with a modern interior. The Capri and Torino names had also appeared on Cosalt holiday homes before Victory used them. If you see a Rimini, Capri or Torino advertised, check whether it is a Cosalt or a Victory, because there can be many years between them.

What buyers check first on a used Victory

Chassis

Victory's specification has varied by model and year. The 2015 Capri came on a metal chassis with a pre-galvanised option, while the 2017 Torino Super was reviewed on a galvanised steel chassis. Galvanised corner steadies were standard on early models such as the Ventura. If your caravan is near the coast, buyers will look underneath, so it helps to know which chassis you have.

Glazing and heating

Some Victory models came with single glazing as standard, with double glazing and central heating as options. The 2020 Rimini, for example, was reviewed with single-glazed windows as part of the standard specification. Buyers on parks with longer seasons will ask about this, so check before you list.

Cladding and exterior

Victory has used aluminium, vinyl and Canexel cladding across its range. Look for dents, fading and loose trims, and clean the gutters and downpipes before photos.

Build standard

Most Victory statics are built to the EN 1647 holiday standard. Some models were offered with a BS 3632 residential option. If yours was built to BS 3632, include it in the description.

Age, condition, park rules and haulage

Age

Being a younger brand helps, but every caravan still depreciates. A five-year-old Victory and a fifteen-year-old Victory are very different propositions, even with the same badge. Parks set their own age policies, and a caravan close to the limit on its pitch will draw fewer private buyers. Our guides to park age limits and depreciation explain more.

Condition and damp

Modern interiors date quickly if they are worn. Chipped kitchen doors, stained carpets, tired mattresses and any sign of damp will pull an offer down. Damp around windows, doors and roof edges is the main thing buyers fear. Our article on how condition changes your offer price gives a fuller picture.

Park rules

Your licence agreement decides how you can sell. Some parks only allow sales through their own office, some take commission on private sales, and some require older caravans to leave when they are sold. Check before you advertise.

Haulage and access

If the caravan leaves the park, the buyer has to pay for disconnection, removal and transport. A standard 12ft-wide static on an easy pitch is straightforward. Victory's 20ft-wide lodges, such as the Versailles and Provence, need more planning and cost more to move. If you own one of those, our guide to twin unit values and collection is worth a read.

How a cash offer on a Victory is worked out

A cash buyer looks at what your Victory is worth once it has left the pitch. That means starting from realistic resale value for its size, age and condition, then allowing for collection, transport, any repairs and the time needed to rehome it in the UK or abroad.

That figure will usually sit below a park's retail price for a similar caravan. The trade-off is speed and certainty. There are no viewings, no waiting for a buyer the park approves and no haggling. We help with the park paperwork, and payment is made on collection day before the caravan is loaded.

About Victory Leisure Homes

Victory has an unusual origin story. In late 2008, the static caravan side of Cosalt Holiday Homes in Hull closed during the financial crisis. The land and factory at Stoneferry were owned by J.R. Rix & Sons, the Hull family business now known as the Rix Group. In early 2009 Rix asked former Cosalt managing director Peter Nevitt whether the half-built holiday homes left on site could be finished and sold. They could, and rather than stop there, the team created a new company and a new brand.

Victory Leisure Homes Limited was incorporated in January 2009 and started trading that spring. The first model, the entry-level Ventura, was introduced in July 2009. Early output was modest, at around 250 homes a year. By 2012 the business had outgrown Stoneferry and moved to a purpose-built factory at Gilberdyke, west of Hull. By its tenth anniversary in 2019, the company said it was building more than 1,000 holiday homes a year.

Victory is still part of the Rix Group and still builds at Gilberdyke. Peter Nevitt stepped down as chief executive in 2020, and the business now runs alongside a sister lodge brand, Prestige Homeseeker. Companies House lists Victory Leisure Homes Limited as an active company.

Victory's reputation with buyers

Because Victory only started building in 2009, no Victory on a park today is more than about 17 years old. That alone puts many of them in a better position than older brands when it comes to park age limits.

Trade reviews have tended to place Victory in the mid-market, with a reputation for good value and modern interiors. Leisuredays described the 2015 Capri as a nicely finished home at a mid-range price, the 2017 Torino Super as a great mid-priced static, and the 2020 Rimini as well built and good value for money. Victory has also leaned into design, with bold colour schemes and, more recently, its Novus approach to manufacturing.

For sellers, the key point is that Victory is a familiar, current brand. Trade buyers know it well, and parts and fittings are not a mystery. As always, though, the condition of your caravan matters more than the name on the side.

Getting your Victory ready to sell

1. Find the model plate and note the model, year and size.
2. Gather paperwork, including purchase documents, service history and your licence agreement.
3. Deep clean the kitchen, bathroom, windows and soft furnishings.
4. Check for damp after wet weather, especially around windows and doors.
5. List the extras, such as double glazing, central heating, a galvanised chassis or decking.
6. Take daylight photos of every room and all four sides.
7. Talk to the park about selling routes, fees and removal rules.

Victory FAQs

Is Victory Leisure Homes still trading? Yes. It is an active company, part of the Rix Group, building at Gilberdyke in East Yorkshire.

Is my Victory Rimini actually a Cosalt? It depends on the year. Cosalt built a Rimini before 2009, and Victory relaunched the name in 2019. The plate will tell you which you have.

Do Victory caravans hold their value? Like all statics, they depreciate. Being a younger brand helps with park age limits, but condition and your park's rules matter most.

Do you buy Victory lodges? Yes. We buy Victory statics and lodges across the UK.
