The Holiday Property Bond offers exclusive access to over 1,400 properties to its 42,000 investors across more than 30 locations. You can read below about how Liz and Derek Holness have enjoyed over 100 glorious holidays with The Holiday Property Bond, but first a brief explanation about the Holiday Property Bond.
A. How can I holiday better?
Invest from £5,000 in the Holiday Property
Bond for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,400 top quality villas,
cottages and apartments in over 30 locations across the UK and Europe. For each
£1 invested you will receive one Holiday Point each year which you can use to
book the properties. And when staying in them you do not pay a commercial rent,
just a no-profit user charge covering actual running, maintenance and
refurbishment costs. This charge is level throughout the year so there are no
high season premiums. For a studio for two the charge averages about £300 a
week, for a two bedroom property sleeping up to six around £460 a week. And
there are larger properties available. This no-profit user charge is only
payable when you want to go on holiday. Your only ongoing commitment is a
quarterly fee of just over £30 – that is around £125 a year.
B. Will there be more properties in the future?
As we attract more investors the more
properties we will add to the portfolio – increasing your holiday choice still
further.
C. How long can I holiday with HPB?
For life if you wish – the holiday benefits
last as long as you hold the Bond. In due course you can pass it and the
holiday benefits to your children and grandchildren, as many of our earlier
investors have already done. If, however, at some point you and your family no
longer wish to holiday with us you can surrender your Bond back to the company
after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances). You
will not get back the full amount you invested, although we would hope that you
will have had some wonderful holidays. What you do get back will reflect
initial charges (25%) taken before your money is invested in the HPB fund of
holiday properties and securities. The fund itself also pays annual charges of
around 2.5% and other overheads. The value of
the fund’s properties and securities can also go up or down and so, like most
investments, your capital is at risk.
How Liz and Derek Holness have enjopyed over 100 glorious holidays since 1999 with The Holiday Property Bond

“In March 2011 we were among the first visitors to Merlewood and were immediately smitten. The style and decoration of the main rooms are very much in keeping with the period of the mansion, and the apartments are sumptuously furnished with comfort and elegance in mind; really impressive.
"Our week away in Cumbria was such a success we have returned on six subsequent occasions and have never been disappointed, either with Merlewood or the surrounding area. Whether you wish to walk, visit stately properties, amble around gardens or even just shop, it is all there and, quite surprisingly, not always far from Merlewood itself.
"To describe just one day … We had a leisurely breakfast looking down over Morecambe Bay, while watching a deer meander its way down the side of the nearby field. This was followed by a visit to the Historic Houses Association’s Levens Hall, not far away, with its world-famous topiary garden: truly splendid. We did, of course, make time for a delicious lunch in their restaurant. In the afternoon we drove down to Cartmel for a browse around the shops, and then back to Grange for a delicious cream tea. Perhaps it should be added that a diet might be in order after a one-week visit! We rounded off the day with a swim and three games of table tennis, all of which my husband won, a normal occurrence I’m afraid.
"If you enjoy walking then do try the walk up and behind Merlewood’s grounds through the woodlands, past the ‘hospice’, a strange little building on the highest part of the local fell, Hampsfell. This is not what you might expect! It was built by a local worthy many years ago to provide a modicum of shelter. The hospice offers splendid views over the surrounding countryside and the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay. Then on down to the pretty village of Cartmel. After a tour of Cartmel Priory, which is really enjoyable as well as informative, the village pubs and cafes await.
"If you’ve visited Cumbria before you will know that finding a walk to do is easy; there must be hundreds! If, like us, you sometimes enjoy the benefits of a National Park Ranger-led walk with a group then they are available too. Sometimes though, it’s just nice to park the car and walk off with a trusty Ordnance Survey map and discover new areas of the countryside, fells or walks beside one of the lakes.

"Close to Merlewood is Sizergh Castle, a National Trust property with a nearby farm shop; definitely worth a visit. If you are a member of the Historic Houses Association then as well as Levens Hall, Holker Hall is a must, and like many attractions it’s within a half-hour or so’s drive from Merlewood. Then there are of course the Lakes, which provide a lovely day out. If the weather does turn against you then make use of the many museums which often have hands-on displays to enhance the experience. Families will find Beatrix Potter-themed attractions a must, and also the nearby motor museum which includes a special separate building dedicated to the exploits of Malcolm and Donald Campbell in their world speed record attempts on land and water. The area is also rich in memories of Wordsworth, with several of his former homes in the Grasmere area.
