Can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable investment? It looks good on paper, but I am unsure.

Would appreciate any (sensible!!!) comments/advice.

    That link takes me to a quote page for motorhomes, have you posted the correct link?

    Thanks Totton. I have changed the link. Hope it works now!
  • "In the event that we were to go bust, your loan to us is secured against the motorhome that we bought. This means that your £35,000 loan is protected or “ring fenced” against any other creditors. You have first and full legal title over the motorhome, which you could sell, in order to get your money back. "

    I struggle to see how this would not form a part of the companies assets and as such be accessible from any creditors due?

    In addition, if you did dell it there is no guarantee that it is sufficient to recoup your initial investment lump sum.

    I am sure others on here may be able to provide better advice on this one, but for me looks like too many things that could go wrong.

    If this was the case I am sure we would have heard from this one before now.

    I would be very mindful of this, as abov

    Thanks Jane, luckily you have arrived on Money Saving Expert just in time to post a nice positive review on your investment plans that contradict those of the financial advisor on this page.

    Welcome and I look forward to your long and dedicated postings on this forum.

    :rotfl:

    p.s any connection to this company Jane?
