Spoilt for choice with the Holiday Property Bond

By Holiday Property Bond Apr 12, 2024

From a restored mansion in the Scottish Highlands to a stylish villa in Southern Spain, an investment in the Holiday Property Bond allows you to enjoy wonderful holidays all over the UK and Europe.

With over 1,500 superb holiday homes in 32 locations, it is easy to enjoy fantastic holidays year after year. But don’t just take our word from it – the best reviews come from our existing Bondholders, such as John Storey from North Yorkshire.

John, now retired, and wife Sarah, a former teacher, discovered the Holiday Property Bond as guests of Bondholder friends. “Without a doubt, the easiest way to ‘sell’ the Bond is to allow the Bond to sell itself,” John reflects. “Having had two Bond holidays with our friends we could see that the superb standards we enjoyed the first time round of accommodation, service, facilities, and location were no fluke. Sarah and I thought: ‘Hmm…We’ll have some more of this!’”

Since becoming Bondholders themselves, the Storeys have wasted no time in “maximising the return” on their investment. Overseas holidays have taken them to Stigliano in Tuscany; Constant in the Dordogne; La Reserva de Biniorella in Majorca; and Rocha Brava in the Algarve. Meanwhile UK holidays have seen them enjoying Tigh Mor Trossachs in Perthshire; Henllys in Anglesey; Langton House in Dorset; Braithwaite Court in Cumbria; Buckland Court in the Cotswolds; and Barnham Broom in Norfolk.

“It’s a great opportunity for generations of the family to get together,” says Sarah, “in a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.” “Our daughter, Jane, and her family haven’t yet used our Bond to holiday independently of us,” adds John. “But our son, David, has: at Sibton Park, in Kent, and at Biniorella.! And now that our children have children of their own, their use is likely to increase.”

Pressed to name a favourite site, the Storeys plump for not one, but two. “In the UK, it has to be Henllys,” says John. “The views are wonderful; the facilities are great – and the onsite golf course appeals to both me and my son-in-law! Mind you, with two courses Barnham Broom offers great golf too.”

Sarah, meanwhile, rates Constant very highly. “The Dordogne is beautiful anyway – the site, a fully restored French hamlet, is in such lovely countryside,” she adds. “And the site and its facilities are exceptional.”

Sites on John and Sarah’s wish list include Duloe Manor in Cornwall and St Brides Castle in Pembrokeshire. “We love exploring the countryside, and coastlines – for which both Wales and Cornwall are famous.”

Sarah and John are both enjoying an active retirement. Both like walking, gardening, books and films – and volunteering; they both volunteer for the National Trust. John, however, has also indulged his passion for folk music – indeed, he spends much of his time writing songs and performing in Yorkshire folk clubs and has three CDs to his name. Might he be persuaded to write a song about the Holiday Property Bond? “I don’t know about that,” he smiles. “But I’m happy to sing the Bond’s praises!”

REQUEST A BROCHURE

Exclusive holidays for life: An initial payment from £5,000 and a quarterly fee of under £38 (that is around £150 a year), which can increase in line with but not exceed the Retail Price Index Excluding Mortgage Interest (RPIX), gives you access to all HPB’s holiday homes. For each HPB holiday, you will pay a no-profit user charge covering only property running and maintenance costs and use of on-site facilities. The average charge is the same throughout the year, and for a studio is around £360 a week and £540 for a two bedroom property. Larger properties are also available. After an initial charge of 25% your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself meets annual charges of 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly. Your investment return is purely in the form of holidays and, as with most investments, your capital is at risk. You can surrender your investment to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will get back less than you invested because of the charges referred to above, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.
