Holiday Property Bond

What they say:

"Holiday Property Bond is one of the travel industries best kept secrets. By addressing the restrictions inherent in traditional timeshare – and the legal and financial pitfalls of buying a second home – this unique investment vehicle combines the benefits of shared ownership with the flexibility of property rental.

HPB is a whole of life assurance bond providing a financial interest in – and rent-free accommodation at – over 1,100 villas, apartments and cottages in 28 sought-after destinations across the UK and Europe. The Bond is a valued asset that can be passed on to children and grandchildren.

Holiday Property Bond is an investment bond whose promotion is regulated by the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000."
