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 Buckland Court

Five minutes by car from the famous 'picture-postcard' village of Broadway, in the ancient hamlet of Buckland, lies Buckland Court, a delightful cluster of Cotswold stone cottages. Said to date back to the seventh century, Buckland nestles in a quiet valley set against a scenic wooded backdrop. Once a collection of old farm buildings, these cottages have been superbly converted and refurbished to create a wonderfully peaceful holiday retreat.

Although it is only about 30 miles from Birmingham, the Cotswolds remains largely unspoilt – it's an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that comprises mile upon mile of rolling upland, wooded valleys, pretty villages and bustling market towns built of the distinctive honey-tinted Cotswold stone.

Bourton-on-the-Hill, with its steep cottage-lined street leading to the church, is one of many artists' delights in the area. Then there is Sezincote, with its Indian-style architecture, beloved of John Betjeman. A former centre of the wool industry, Chipping Campden has an impressive 15th century church and a fine Jacobean market hall. Traditional crafts are kept alive with pottery and the Campden Weavers.

Learn the fascinating history of Sudeley Castle

Near Winchcombe lies Sudeley Castle, which has some excellent exhibitions detailing its history and telling the stories of all those who once resided in it. Katherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VIII, was one of the famous figures who lived at the castle. Her body is in a marble tomb within the church.

Sudeley isn't just good for a history lesson. It also has a pheasantry, adventure playground, some medieval ruins and wonderful gardens.

Treat yourself to a shopping trip (or two)

Bath has a beautiful town centre, but one of the best places to shop is Cheltenham. Boasting a huge range of stores, from grand department stores and high-street favourites to small independent businesses, it's a fantastic place to both shop and eat.

If you've still got some spending money left over, Broadway is another great shopping destination. Again, there's a great variety of independent stores, plus it's an incredibly picturesque village. Don't miss the Lygon Arms Hotel, which is thought to date back to the 1300s. Oliver Cromwell and Charles I were once guests! We recommend enjoying a meal in the impressive Great Hall.

Visit the birthplace of Shakespeare

You can't come to the Cotswolds without visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of the world's most famous playwright. There are five houses associated with Shakespeare in and around the town, and each offers a great insight into the writers' life, from birth to death.

Explore Westonbirt Arboretum

Nature-lovers will be blown away by the variety of trees at this arboretum. There are around 15,000 labelled trees here and 2,500 different types. The trees come from all over the world, including Britain, Japan, China, Chile and North America. One of the best times to visit is autumn, as the colours are simply fantastic.

Enjoy wonderful gardens and wildlife

There are some great gardens in the Cotswolds, such as Painswick Rococo Garden – the only survivor from the 18th century of garden design. If you have kids, they'll find the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens much more fascinating, as they can see everything from lemurs and lions to rhinos and penguins.

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 held by an independent, regulated trustee company.

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 book a Private Tour at an HPB holiday location or book a Personal Presentation 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 £421 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 £430 in user charge*

*Prices for 2021 and for Turkey based on exchange rate of £1 = 10.5 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 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 (2021 rates):

For two people, holidaying out of season:
A week in Stigliano, Tuscany from 1,510 points
A week in The Trossachs, Scotland from 2,390 points
A week in St Brides Castle, Pembrokeshire from 2,220 points

And in the height of summer:
A week in Rocha Brava, Portgual from 8,030 points
A week in the Lake District from 9,570 points
A week in Le Mont de St Siméon, France from 13,910 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.
