Make the most of your holidays with HPB

Reasonably priced, comfortable accommodation during the school holidays? HPB has the answer.

Kevin and Sujeewa Gadd are school teachers and know all too well the cost of going on holiday during peak season.

“We have no choice about when we go,” says Kevin. “Over the years we’ve paid a ridiculous amount of money for what can only be described as very basic accommodation in very ordinary places.”

The couple, from Buckinghamshire, have two sons: eight-year-old Austin and six-year-old Elliot. Both are football, tennis and swimming mad — hardly surprising, as their dad is Head of PE at a London school. “When the boys came along,” Kevin continues, “holidays became even more important. We didn’t want to waste them, or our money.”

Fortunately, Sujeewa, who is Director of Sixth Form and a history teacher at a school in London, spotted an advertisement for the Holiday Property Bond in a magazine. “I recognised Sue Barker and was intrigued. Ever the cynic, I assumed it was just a fancy kind of timeshare. But after doing a bit of research, I liked what I read and arranged a home visit from a representative. It was very informative. It still seemed too good to be true, but we loved the locations and the on-site facilities. We did some calculations and realised we could afford to go away during the school holidays every year — for life. There was no pressure, and the process was straightforward, with the reassurance of a money-back guarantee if we weren’t completely happy. That’s what really persuaded us to give HPB a try.”

They signed up in 2018 and took their first Bond holiday at Tigh Mor in the Scottish Highlands in 2019. “We knew straight away we’d made the right decision,” says Sujeewa. “Everything was perfect. We loved Tigh Mor and decided to go ahead with HPB. We’ve even made friends with other Bondholders, particularly after holidays at Santa Rosa in Lanzarote and La Reserva de Biniorella in Mallorca. We still meet up with them back in the UK and often share our holidays at HPB locations.”

“One of the things we really appreciate about HPB — and there are many — is the quality of the on-site sports facilities. They’re always well maintained and provide hours of entertainment, especially for the boys. The properties themselves are attractive, spotless and wonderfully safe for children. For example, at Biniorella, which we’ve just returned from, Austin and Elliot were in their element with the Kids’ Club. It’s brilliant. They spent their days playing football, tennis or swimming from morning to night, having an amazing time with the other children. Happy children mean happy parents!”

Since becoming Bondholders, Kevin and Sujeewa have visited Tigh Mor (three times), Biniorella (twice), Santa Rosa, Merlewood in Cumbria, Duloe Manor in Cornwall, Barnham Broom in Norfolk, Lower Knapp Farm in Devon and Langton House in Dorset. “We’re so pleased with HPB that we’ve started topping up our investment through their interest-free loan — just a little each month — to enjoy even more holidays.”

And they’re not the only ones…

Do more with Boundless

If you're working in or retired from the public sector or civil service, Boundless has two great membership options to choose from: Boundless and Boundless Plus. 

With Boundless, you get unlimited access or discounted entry to many of the UK’s top attractions, including Kew Gardens and Wakehurst and WWT centres across the UK, as well as year-round deals on restaurants, holidays, shopping and much more. With Boundless Plus, you can enjoy additional benefits including unlimited access to Historic Royal Palaces sites, National Trust for Scotland places, access to The Ramblers' extensive walking community, and peace of mind with roadside assistance and local recovery by Britannia Rescue. 

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 £372 a week and £569 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.
