Greater London Property Bond offers investors unique investment opportunity

28th April 2017 Print

Hopwood House is offering a limited opportunity to buy the Greater London Property Bond, which combines a high yield with the security of being backed by tangible assets in the shape of property in the UK’s most active housing market.  This exciting investment programme is now open to certified high net worth individuals, sophisticated investors and self-certified sophisticated investors.

The bond issuer - Hopwood House

In business since 2005, Hopwood House has a much longer history, as it is the result of a merger between Pure Property Overseas Limited and The Overseas Investor, which were both leading companies in property investment.  Although Hopwood House is based in the UK, they currently operate in 10 international markets in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America.  This means both that they can help UK-based investors gain access to overseas markets and that they can assist overseas investors looking to buy property in the UK.  A large part of their business growth has been driven by referrals from current and previous clients.  In addition to residential property, their portfolio includes a wide variety of commercial properties, for investors seeking rental yield.  These include: serviced offices, hotels, care homes and student accommodation.  This last is one of the mainstays of their business and always attracts keen interest from investors.  

Hopwood House in Greater London

The Greater London property market is the most active in the UK and offers huge scope for both commercial and residential development within its commuter area.  Hopwood House specializes in mixed use and residential developments, both brand new builds and respectful redevelopments of existing spaces, to make them attractive living spaces for today’s generation of home buyers.  Hopwood House has a widely-respected track record of delivering projects, having already completed work valued at over £143M GDV and with a further £250M GDV already planned for the future.  Proceeds from the bond will be used to fund an expansion of our development projects in the Greater London area and hence will be backed by bricks-and-mortar assets on which investors will have second legal charge.

Details of the bond itself

The Greater London Property bond is issued for a five-year period and can be redeemed from year three (with 30 days’ notice).  In years one through three, the bond pays 8% interest, rising to 9% in year four and 10% in year five.  All interest is paid annually in arrears.  The minimum investment is £10,000 and can be increased in increments of £10,000.  The maximum investment is uncapped.  The application process is very simple and once accepted, clients deposit funds in an FCA-Regulated escrow account run by Jade State, who are UK authorized solicitors.  There is then a 7-day cooling-off period in which clients may change their minds if they wish.  After this period, clients will be issued with their bond certificate and can look forward to receiving their annual interest payments.  Hopwood House prides itself on its outstanding customer service and customers are very welcome to contact them with any questions at any point during the process, including after the sale.
