Fortunately.

The1 Bond is a life assurance bond investing in holiday properties and in securities producing income for management charges. You can book holiday properties using points issued with the Bond and pay only a no profit "user charge".

You can encash the Bond after two years. Its value is linked to that of the holiday properties and securities and so can go down as well as up.

You may not be able to encash when you choose as holiday property may not always be readily saleable.

Encashment may then be deferred for up to twelve months. Holiday property values will also generally be a matter of a valuer's opinion rather than fact.
