The Wildlife Trust

Barnham Broom is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,400 properties to its 42,000 investors across more than 30 locations. You can find out more about Barnham Broom below, but first some important information about the Holiday Property Bond. It is designed to provide holidays for life but it is an investment product so subject to charges, your capital is at risk and you may not be able to cash in during the first two years. For further details please read "How HPB Works"

More about Barnham Broom

Set in 250 acres of some of Norfolk's finest countryside, in the beautiful River Yare valley, Barnham Broom Golf and Country Club overlooks the fairways of two championship 18-hole golf courses. It offers self-contained lodge apartments and a wide range of leisure facilities, including tennis and squash courts, an indoor swimming pool, steam room, spa and restaurants.

Immortalised through the paintings of John Constable, neighbouring Suffolk has its own particular appeal. The wider East Anglia region boasts numerous fascinating historical sites, ranging from Colchester's Bronze Age hill forts and incredible Roman remains to the half-timbered Elizabethan villages, cathedral and castle in Norwich.

Norfolk has so much to offer couples and families. If the 100 miles of coastline doesn't tempt you, then maybe the nature reserves bursting with wildlife will. Of course, there's also the famous Broads, historic towns and villages, incredible stately homes and pretty windmills, too. It's a fantastic place to visit all year round.

Discover the varied coastline

Every beach and seaside resort in Norfolk is different from the last, so it's worth visiting as many as you can. Holkham is known as the best beach in the region, thanks to its four-miles of golden sand. The kids will love running around and creating sandcastles here.

Cromer, on the other hand, puts on some amazing seaside shows, which take place in a pavilion on the end of the stunning Victorian pier. Not much can beat the famous 'Golden Mile' in Great Yarmouth, though, which boasts a wide range of attractions, arcades and rides.

We also recommend visiting Hunstanton in the late afternoon. You'll want to see the beautiful striped cliffs in the daylight, and then stick around for the gorgeous sunsets in the evening.

Have fun outside with the family

Your little ones will never be bored in Norfolk, as there are so many outdoor attractions to keep them busy! BeWILDerwood is an award-winning adventure park where kids can take part in marsh walks and boat trips, explore treehouses and zoom down zip wires. Alternatively, High Lodge in Thetford Forest, is a wonderful place to go for a gentle stroll or cycle, as well as enjoy a barbeque or picnic.

If your little ones are fascinated by animals, Banham Zoo, which is set in 35 acres of landscaped gardens, has some 2,000 birds, reptiles, fish, bugs and mammals. There's also Pensthorpe Natural Park - 700 acres of conservation areas, where British wildlife is in abundance.

Explore stunning stately homes

History-buffs will be happy to know there are plenty of stately homes in Norfolk. Sandringham is one of the most beautiful – its gardens alone are worth the visit. It may be the Queen's private estate, but Sandringham feels somewhat informal and friendly. The museum houses a variety of interesting collections, from royal vehicles to old photographs.

Oxburgh Hall is another interesting home – this manor house has its own moat! If you have time, you should also visit Castle Acre, a complete Norman settlement, with a village, castle earthworks and Cluniac priory.

Boat down the Norfolk Broads

More than 200km of the Norfolk Broads (a succession of rivers and lakes) can be navigated by boat, so why not hire one? If you're interested in enjoying a day out on the Broads, head to Horning, Potter Heigham or Wroxham to get yourself a boat. Prefer to stay on dry land? Then we recommend walking or cycling one of the many routes that run alongside them.

See Norwich's medieval past

Norwich has more than 1,500 historic buildings, many of which are situated on the longest medieval street in Europe. You might not get a chance to see them all, but make sure you don't miss the Cathedral – it has the second-tallest spire in the country! The Norman-built Norwich Castle should be visited too, which is now an art gallery and museum.

The city has some fantastic modern buildings as well, with The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts one of the most striking. All of the permanent collections are free to see.

How the Holiday Property Bond works

This is a brief summary of how HPB delivers its holiday benefits. To understand it fully, including how its over 1,400 properties cater for all types of holidaymaker and the extra Holiday Points free holiday opportunities and other offers available, you should find out more so that we can explain just how HPB can provide wonderful holidays for life.

  • An initial payment of as little as £5,000 gives you units in the HPB fund which holds the entire portfolio of villas, cottages and apartments, as well as a securities portfolio, the returns from which go towards management costs. The HPB fund has an initial charge of 25% and pays annual charges of around 2.5% as well as overheads.
  • Every £1 of your initial payment gives you one Holiday Point every year. You can use these Holiday Points to book the HPB property of your choice. The number of Holiday Points required for a property depends on its location and size and the time of year you want to go.
  • HPB's holiday benefits continue every year as long as you or your heirs hold the investment.
  • When you book a holiday you pay a no-profit user charge to cover the actual costs of running and maintaining the properties rather than a commercial rental charge.
  • The only additional payment is a modest quarterly charge of around £30, that is around £120 a year, which can be increased by no more than RPIX.
  • As the Holiday Property Bond is a financial product, technically a life assurance bond, its marketing and promotion requires that we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. You will be given everything you need to understand HPB and in particular the risks as well as the benefits, including restrictions on when you can cash in your HPB investment. As it is a financial product your capital is at risk and you should not expect to get back the full amount you have paid.
  • All new investors benefit from a unique "Money Back Promise". If you take a first HPB holiday within three years of investing and are not for any reason entirely happy, you can apply to cash in your HPB investment within fourteen days of your return. Whatever the cash in value the parent company of the issuer of HPB will make up any difference so that you get back the full amount of your original payment.
  • HPB has no borrowings and all its assets, being the holiday properties, securities and cash, are controlled by HSBC Trustee (C.I.) Limited.

How much should I invest?

How much you should invest depends on your circumstances – in particular your holiday requirements and preferences. HPB's Holiday Points system is designed to be highly flexible and one of our representatives can explain it fully. Each £1 of your initial payment adds one Holiday Point to the allocation of Holiday Points that you receive every year for as long as you hold your bond.

The minimum initial payment to become a Bondholder is just £5,000. This is considered suitable by a number of new investors who pay this amount to try out the Bond and then go on to "top up" to increase their holiday benefits. Others choose to make a higher payment initially with the average in 2018 being around £14,500.

To understand fully how HPB works and to decide on an appropriate level of investment, please join us at an Open Day at an HPB holiday location or an Exhibition at a hotel near you. Or call free on 0800 230 0391 to arrange for a representative to meet you at a place of your choosing.

As we have already said this is a brief summary. To understand HPB fully and all its potential advantages, please contact us.

User Charge

The no-profit user charge is all you pay when you book your holiday. It covers the actual costs of servicing the properties, including housekeeping, laundry and maintenance of the many free-to-use-onsite facilities. It is charged per property - NOT per person. And it does not vary with the season: instead, the user-charge remains constant all year round.

For example:

A week for two in the Scottish Highlands could cost around £398 user charge, including VAT*, even at the height of the season.

A week for a party of eight in a four bedroom villa at Physkos, Turkey, in August could cost around £350 in user charge*

*Prices for 2019 and for Turkey based on exchange rate of £1 = 8 Turkish Lira (may vary)

Restrictions

If you do not use our "Money Back Promise" offer explained in "How HPB works", you may cash in after two years at a value linked to that of the properties and securities but you should not expect to get back the full amount you paid because of charges and changes in the value of HPB’s properties and securities. In exceptional circumstances cashing in may be deferred for up to twelve months.

Your inflation-protected Holiday Points

HPB's holiday benefits are provided through a Holiday Points system. Each £1 you invest (including any adviser charge) adds one Holiday Point to the allocation of Holiday Points that you receive every year for as long as you hold your bond. Each time you book a holiday, you exchange Holiday Points for the accommodation you want, with the number of Holiday Points required depending on the location, size of property and season.

Here are some examples of how it works in practice (2019 rates):

For two people, holidaying out of season:
A week in Stigliano, Tuscany from 1,480 points
A week in The Trossachs, Scotland from 2,340 points
A week in St Brides Castle, Pembrokeshire from 2,180 points

And in the height of summer:
A week in Rocha Brava, Portgual from 7,870 points
A week in the Lake District from 9,380 points
A week in Le Mont de St Siméon, France from 13,630 points

If you have a minimum qualifying investment you can also book Short Notice Points Free holidays, subject to availability. Bookings can be made up to 28 days in advance for UK holidays and up to 56 days in advance for overseas. Even if you do not have a qualifying investment, you can still book Short Notice Points Free holidays up to 21 days ahead in the UK and up to 42 days ahead overseas.

Inflation protection: Your Holiday Points allocation is re-valued every year in line with the cost of providing additional holiday accommodation for new investors. This means your holiday accommodation booking power is fixed and protected against inflation. So you can look forward to top quality holidays for life.

Holiday better with HPB

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 around £30 – that is around £120 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.
