You're in the right place! We always recommend you start by reading through exactly what subletting means so that you can decide whether it's right for you. You can find all the information you need here and in our handy Sublet Pack, available at the bottom of this page. Our friendly reception staff are also always available to answer any questions you might have.

Once you're happy it suits you, get in touch with our reception team on Sublet@Seariversleisure.co.uk for our sublet joining form, and you're almost there!

After receiving your form a member of our subletting team will organise a time to visit your caravan. During this visit we look at the age and condition of the caravan, the heating and window glazing, and it's position on park.

We use this information to decide whether it's suitable for the scheme and what grade it might fall into, ranked from Standard to Platinum. A higher grade means it will be rented at a higher price, but that doesn't always mean more income. 

As a rule we only accept caravans up to 10 years old, but exceptions can be made.

Once your spot on our scheme is confirmed you'll need to get the caravan ready. That means filling it with a standard inventory, removing hazards and personal belongings, and getting the caravan ready for a photoshoot.

It's also important that you make sure you're up-to-date with your safety certificates and have insurance that covers rental damage.

Our team can help with every step of this, just get in touch.

Before rental kicks off you'll be given access to an online portal. This portal gives you the ability to see every booking made for your caravan, see reviews posted about it, and make changes to your rental availability. 

We are unable to move or cancel guest bookings once they're confirmed, so we would always recommend booking all the dates you want for the year as early as possible to avoid disappointment.  

The team here at Searivers will manage every step of the process after setup. This includes advertising, taking bookings and payments, handling keys, cleaning, and maintenance.

You'll only ever be disturbed if we need to run something by you first (such as larger repair jobs), or if we have an important update for you. You can even leave invoices such as gas bottles and maintenance until the end of season so that they are covered by your income! Unfortunately this does not apply to site fees, which need to be settled on their usual due dates.

Of course, you can always get in touch with us for an update whenever you like.                                                                                  

At the end of the season, in November, our team works hard to calculate how much you've earned. This is then presented to you in a letter and added to your Searivers account.

Any outstanding balances incurred during the season (such as gas bottles and repairs) will be automatically settled from the amount. You will be informed of how much credit you have remaining afterwards, and have the option to leave it on the account or pay out into your pocket!

Whether to advertise your caravan as pet friendly or not is entirely up to you, but we do ask that owners who mark their caravans as ‘pet free’ also uphold this and do not bring their own pets.

We must do our best to look after guests with pet hair allergies.

The grade of your caravan and popularity with holidaymakers are a massive deciding factor in this, and make it very hard for us to provide estimates. Our sublet owners often make between £2000 and £6000, but you must bear in mind that although we will always try our best, we cannot guarantee any income.

To join the scheme there is a one-off charge of £150 to help us with the cost of setting your caravan up for rental. We then take 25% commission + 20% VAT from your income each year to help cover the costs of running the scheme. Cleaning fees are worked into the rental price for your caravan so that the guests pay for it, not you.

A full list of charges can be found on page 4 of our sublet information packet, which you will find at the bottom of this page.

Absolutely! 

Our new portal for owners means it's easier than ever for you to make sure that your caravan is only available for bookings on the dates that you want it to be. Whether that's only the 6-week-holidays, or everything except them, is entirely up to you!

Of course! We always want our sublet owners to be able to use the caravan themselves and give stays to family and friends, you just need to make sure that the dates are blocked or booked for your use.

You can even book for the team here at Searivers to do all of the beds and cleaning for you so that all you have to do is turn up and enjoy your break! These private linen and cleaning services cost a total of £75/stay.

Because you'll be renting your caravan, there are a handful of additional safety tests and requirements you will need your caravan to pass. All sublet caravans should have the following:

• Gas and Electric testing (required by all caravans sublet or not)
• Smoke alarms
• Carbon Monoxide alarms
• PAT testing of all appliances
• A fire blanket
• A 2kg fire extinguisher
• Yearly fire risk assessments
• Yearly fire blanket and extinguisher servicing
• Insurance that covers damage caused by renters

These will be arranged by Searivers in most cases, and we always do our best to send reminders when things are about to become due so that you don't get surprised with any bills.

Gold caravans are a very popular choice with our holidaymakers, with standard caravans following closely behind as a popular choice for those seeking a more budget-friendly option.

No matter the standard, pet-friendly caravans always get booked much faster.

Make sure that you thoroughly read through our sublet packet (available at the bottom of the page) and understand all of the costs that come with subletting a caravan. Sometimes the first year can be a lot more expensive than people realise, and we don't want anyone to get caught out.

If you have a specific idea of what you want to get out of the scheme, we would always recommend emailing us at Sublet@Seariversleisure.co.uk or calling the reception team on 01970 871399 to chat about how achievable those goals are.

We take a number of factors into account when deciding how to grade your caravan. These include:

• Whether you have central heating
• Whether you have double glazing
• Whether you have decking, and what size it is
• How old your caravan is
• The furnishings and maintenance of the caravan

Without a physical walk-through of the caravan by a member of our sublet team, it's impossible to tell what standard it might achieve.

Our rental season begins on the 1st of March, and runs all the way through to the 31st of October.

We can discuss renting through the winter if that is something you are interested in, but would strongly advise against it due to the risk of burst pipes from cold weather and infrequent occupation.

After the season ends, our team takes 2-4 weeks to process everyone's income.

The income will be automatically put onto your Searivers account and used to clear any outstanding charges. We will then let you know what credit you have remaining, and if you would like, you can then request a pay-out.

Holiday homes let through us can get quite busy, and we often end up with bookings made well into the next year. Because of this, we ask that you provide us with your request to leave after this season before September 30th. This request must be made in writing.

If you want to leave part way through a season, we will immediately remove you from all booking platforms and stop allowing new bookings to be made for your caravan. However, this does not affect bookings already in place, and we reserve the right to carry out confirmed bookings in your caravan.
